Colorado Football names Sam Noyer starting quarterback vs. UCLA

Well, after three years of backing up Steven Montez (including one year at safety), Sam Noyer has finally earned a starting spot at quarterback. Karl Dorrell made the announcement after practice that Noyer edged out Tyler Lytle to earn snaps when the Colorado Buffaloes play the UCLA Bruins on November 7th.

Sam Noyer was a graduate transfer this offseason, and in a prophetic move, Karl Dorrell convinced him to come back and compete for the starting job. The two other quarterbacks, Tyler Lytle and Brendon Lewis, competed all camp, with all three rotating into first string snaps.
