Colorado 37, Wyoming 20

//posted 9.22.2025

Ralphie VII made her debut in style, leading the Buffs onto the field before the second-largest Folsom Field crowd in 17 years (53,422), with the Buffs going on to defeat Wyoming, 37-20. Quarterback Kaidon Salter more than did his part, returning to the starting lineup after sitting out the loss to Houston the previous weekend. Salter passed for 304 yards and three touchdowns, completing scoring passes of 29 yards to Omarion Miller, 68 yards to Sincere Brown, and 47 yards to Joseph Williams while also running for 86 yards and a 35-yard touchdown run on 11 carries.

“Every chance that I got today, I tried to take advantage of the opportunity,” Salter explained. “And I know that I got big guys out there, big playmakers, and if I throw it up, it’s 75/25 their way.”

Overall, the Buffs had 497 yards of total offense, including 193 yards on the ground. Wyoming did not go quietly, keeping the game close throughout much of the evening, but the Cowboys were never closer than two scores after the Buffs took a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter.

“Kaidon Salter came back and played his butt off,” Coach Prime said of his starting quarterback. “He had a couple of downs, but the majority were ups, which overshadowed the downs, and he made some plays that a quarterback is going to have to do off script. And he made it happen. The timing was impeccable, and he made some big throws, some big runs, especially the run at the end. That’s the guy we wanted to see, and we’re seeing him at his best. I’m glad you’re getting the chance to see him shine. He hasn’t reached that potential yet, but he’s getting more and more comfortable with everything.”

Third-string quarterback Ryan Staub led the Buffs to two back-to-back touchdowns on either side of halftime, allowing the Buffs to pull away from Delaware. Staub completed a a 21-yard touchdown pass to Dekalon Taylor with nine seconds left in the first half, then a 71-yard touchdown to Sincere Brown three plays into the third quarter, turning a 10-7 game into a 24-7 advantage, with the Buffs going on to a 31-7 home victory.

Coach Prime gave each of his quarterbacks two series to open the game. Kaidon Salter led the Buff offense to ten points in his drives, including a nine-yard scoring run on CU’s opening possession. Freshman Julian Lewis came in for the next two drives, but the Buff offense failed to score. Then, after Delaware scored in the final minute of the half to make it a 10-7 game, Staub’s heroics gave CU a three-score advantage. A 10-yard touchdown run by Micah Welch early in the fourth quarter closed out the scoring, allowing many of those 50,341 in attendance on a sunny Boulder afternoon the chance to head for the exits early.

The teams were almost even in total yards, 398-396, but three turnovers by the Blue Hens, together with two fourth down stops by the Buff defense in the red zone, allowed CU to hold Delaware to only seven points. Ryan Staub finished with seven completions in ten attempts, going for 157 yards and two touchdowns. CU’s leading rusher was Simeon Price, with 55 yards on nine carries. Sincere Brown became the first Buff receiver to top 100 yards on the season, with 120 yards on only four catches, including his 71-yard score.
