Colorado football coach Deion Sanders finally may have found the right quarterback to replace his son Shedeur.
After sorting through three candidates at the position so far, Sanders went back to the one his team picked up in the transfer portal last December. Kaidon Salter, the transfer from Liberty, answered the call with his legs and arm in a 37-20 win at home Saturday, Sept. 20, against Wyoming.
He completed 18 of 28 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns along with 86 yards rushing, including a 35-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring. The win improved Colorado to 2-2 in front of a sold-out crowd of 53,442.
"Kaidon Salter came back and played his butt off," Deion Sanders said after the game.
Colorado finished with 497 total yards after Salter led his team to four touchdowns in his first six possessions while the Buffaloes built a 28-3 lead early in the second half.
