Colorado Names Kaidon Salter 'The Guy' After 37-20 Win Over Wyoming

The performance offers short-term clarity in Colorado's first season without Shedeur Sanders.

Overview

  • Kaidon Salter went 18-of-28 for 304 yards and three touchdowns and added 86 rushing yards with a 35-yard score in the victory.
  • Deion Sanders declared Salter "the guy" postgame, signaling a turn from the early-season carousel with Ryan Staub and freshman Julian Lewis.
  • Colorado totaled 497 yards of offense and built a 28-3 lead before Wyoming trimmed the margin late.
  • Injuries included offensive tackle Jordan Seaton and running back Simeon Price, with Sanders saying the team is praying they will be OK.
  • Pre-game analysis questioned Salter’s long-term fit in the role as Colorado navigates the post-Shedeur transition, and the Buffaloes host BYU next in Big 12 play.
