Five turnovers and a porous defense contributed to another rout for Colorado, with Arizona mauling the Buffs in Boulder, 52-17. Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita threw four touchdowns, but Buff turnovers allowed the Wildcats to score on touchdown drives of 12, eight, and 17 yards. For the game, Colorado led in time of possession (34:09-25:51), and had as many first downs (16), but short fields and chunk plays doomed the Buffs to another embarrassing rout.

“Don’t attack the coordinators. Come at me. Don’t attack the players. Come at me,” Sanders said.

Sanders had no answers as to why the Buffs played so poorly again, insisting good practices had given no inkling another rout was forthcoming. He bristled when asked if his team had checked out: “I know a quitter when I see one. I haven’t seen that.”

Sanders added that he’s confident he can coach Colorado back into winning ways, saying, “I don’t doubt me. Let’s get that straight: I. Don’t. Doubt. Me.”

For the game, Arizona had a relatively modest 417 yards of total offense, but passes going for 60 and 57 yards, plus a run for 68, were all the Wildcats needed. The Buffs committed 14 penalties for 110 yards, with one penalty wiping out a 75-yard touchdown pass; another nullifying an interception.

With Kaidon Salter and Ryan Staub accounting for two turnovers apiece, freshman quarterback Julian Lewis came into the game in the third quarter. Lewis went 9-for-17 for 121 yards and a touchdown, not bad when considering Salter went 11-for-15 … for 49 yards, while Staub went 0-for-2 … with two interceptions.

Colorado blew a 14-0 first half lead for the second week in succession, falling on the road to TCU, 35-21. The Buffs committed four turnovers, including three interceptions by quarterback Kaidon Salter. The final score was not indicative of the game, with the Horned Frogs not surging past CU in total yards (369-343) until a salt-in-the-wound 21-yard touchdown pass from TCU quarterback Josh Hoover to wide receiver Eric McAllister with 19 seconds remaining.

Kaidon Salter finished 18-for-29 for 217 yards, with two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. Both passing touchdowns went to Omarion Miller, going for six yards in the first half and 31 yards in the second.

“It’s one thing to lose, then it’s another thing to feel like you beat yourselves,” Coach Prime said of the loss. “When you’re beating beaten – we were beaten in Houston, but these other games we had opportunity, ample opportunity, to win the games.

“It’s frustrating because I’m seeing what you see. I felt like, and this is no disrespect to TCU, because they’re well-coached, they did a wonderful job, the quarterback made plays; I feel like we’re the better team. I felt like that last week, the week before. But yet we’re still in this situation.”

The loss left the Buffs with a 2-4 overall record, 0-3 in Big 12 play, tied with West Virginia for the worst record in the Big 12.

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.”

Houston dominated the first and third quarters, opening up a 13-0 first half lead on the way to a convincing 36-20 victory over Colorado. Cougar quarterback Conner Weigman completed 15-of-24 passes for 222 yards, with 17 carries for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Houston kicker Ethan Sanchez went 5-of-6 on field goal attempts, with a long of 52, as the Cougars scored on eight drives, punting only once all game.

Ryan Staub started the second game of his career, finishing 19-of-35 for 204 yards and a late 37-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Williams after the game was decided. Staub was also sacked three times, and was intercepted twice.

The Buffs clawed their way back to make it a 16-14 game at halftime, with a Simeon Price 38-yard scoring run and a Zach Atkins recovery of a Ryan Staub fumble in the end zone giving CU new life. In the third quarter, however, two Houston drives at up over 13 minutes of game clock, making it a 26-14 game. Two fourth quarter interceptions – CU’s first two turnovers of the season – ended any hope of a Buff comeback.

“Nobody could have told me that was going to go down like that,” Coach Prime said. “There’s no way.

“With the week of preparation that we had, the meetings that we had, the film study and the preparation that we had, no one could have told me that it was going to turn out like this. But … it wasn’t good. It wasn’t good at all. I take full responsibility of the foolishness that went on out there that … we tried to call it football. It wasn’t that.”

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.
