Shedeur Sanders admits he’s ‘80%’ in learning Sean Lewis’ offense

Shedeur Sanders gave an update on how far along he is in learning Sean Lewis’ offense

The Colorado Buffaloes football team will have a ton of eyeballs on it, especially early on. Defensive coordinator Charles Kelly came over from Alabama and offensive coordinator Sean Lewis was recently the head coach at Kent State.

It’s not often that a head coach takes a demotion such as Lewis did, but the opportunity to join Deion Sanders’ staff and potentially craft a new era of college football was too appealing. Shedeur Sanders, the son of Coach Prime, is set for a huge year as the team’s starting quarterback and he recently opened up on how far along he is in learning Lewis’ offense (h/t Adam Munsterteiger of BuffStampede):

“I’d say right now I’m 80%. I’d say I’m almost there. He (Lewis) has 12 years in the offense, I had a spring. So, coming back to it, meeting with him, we’re able to spend more time together. It means a lot, because I am starting to understand what he thinks and why he is calling certain stuff and his thought process and what to do in each situation that presents itself. So he’s given us all the answers to the problem, we just have to solve them. If we don’t, then it’s on us.”
It’s tough enough making the move from the FCS to the FBS, let alone a Power Five program. Doing so with the high-octane offense of Lewis, which was electric at Kent State, is a totally different obstacle to face.
