PULLMAN, Wash. — Eight games into the season, the Colorado football team has proven that it has a long list of problems to fix.

In striving to salvage this season, head coach Mike MacIntyre has decided to put quarterback on the top of that list.

During Saturday's 28-0 loss to Washington State at Martin Stadium, MacIntyre benched starter Steven Montez and turned the keys of the offense over to redshirt freshman Sam Noyer.

"It was not very good at all," MacIntyre said of Montez's performance.

No, it wasn't, but neither was Noyer's. Combined, they went 11-for-31 for 74 yards.
