Like his teammates, Colorado linebacker was disappointed following the Buffaloes’ 27-13 loss at Washington on Saturday.
As the senior walked out of Husky Stadium, however, he knew this was no time for the Buffaloes to get down on themselves.
“We still have a lot to play for,” Lewis said on his way to the team bus.
The Buffaloes (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12) are riding a two-game losing streak, going winless during the toughest stretch of their schedule. Yet, being in the volatile South division and having three of the next five games at Folsom Field, the Buffs are in no position to hit the panic button.
“It’s tough to go out and lose two games on the road, but we’ve done it against some great teams,” Lewis said moments earlier during his postgame press conference. “I think we’re going to learn from this experience.”
What the Buffs should learn from the back-to-back losses is that they are good enough to compete with the best teams in the Pac-12, but that their margin for error is thin.
