At this point, it’s no stretch to say Lewis has made as big an impact as any new assistant in the country this season.
. At Kent State, Lewis’ “Flash Fast” attack led the nation in yards per game and points per game in 2020.
Colorado would need to pay the $750,000 buyout to Kent State in order to hire him, but before Lewis decided to make the jump to Boulder, he had to consider that becoming an assistant again meant giving up perks that come with being the head coach. The potential changes to his schedule were a critical factor for a coach with a 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter.“Coach and I had talked a lot about family and how important family is to him,” Lewis said.
There was one other key piece that had to be in place for Lewis to make the move. If he was going to go to Boulder, he had to be able to bring his offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle with him from Kent State. The Buffs offense is an interesting blend of schools of thought from around the football galaxy. Lewis leans heavily on the run-pass option game and concepts from the old“ there obviously in how we play fast and the tempo of it, and some of the vertical curl passing game and,” Lewis said. “But there’s also elements of the Badger run game that I’ve taken from Chryst with the gap stuff and some of the plays that Coach OB had success with at his previous stops.
Shedeur Sanders has jumped in and been fantastic piloting the Colorado attack. He is completing 78 percent of his throws and has a six-to-zero touchdown-to-interception ratio. The 6-2, 215-pound junior has displayed uncanny poise and presence to go with pinpoint accuracy, and he has gotten sharper as the game goes on: His passer rating is an eye-popping 238.8 in the second half, up from 141.1 in the first half.
Lewis’ constant message to his QB: Play each play for what it is. “It’s the old QB coach cliche that you can’t go broke taking a profit,” Lewis said. “If they’re gonna give you 5 yards, take it, and eventually if you keep doing that over and over and over again with the speed that we have and get them in space, good things are gonna happen.”“A few things really stand out to me about the job he’s done,” said Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt, a Colorado alum who has called the Buffs’ first two games.
