No. 11 Utah will face its former quarterback Saturday in Boulder after Colorado coach Deion Sanders confirmed Tuesday that Isaac Wilson will make his second start for the Buffaloes, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. [1]
Wilson, a Corner Canyon High graduate, spent two seasons at Utah. He started most of 2024 after Cam Rising's career-ending hand injury, throwing for 1,510 yards with 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, then lost the 2025 backup job to Byrd Ficklin. Former Utah cornerback Jason Stokes Jr. also transferred to Colorado. [1]
Wilson replaced Julian Lewis on Oct. 3 and threw three interceptions and one touchdown in a 29-7 loss to Texas Tech. Sanders joked that he told Wilson, "Make sure you throw the ball to our team," and said Colorado does not want to throw 40-plus times. [1]
Utah coach Morgan Scalley praised Wilson's arm and intelligence but said the familiarity is "not as big of a deal" as people might think. "At the end of the day it's still a team game," he said, according to the Tribune. [1]
