The Wyoming Cowboys will take on the Colorado Buffalo tomorrow night in Boulder, Colorado.
This week in Laramie, the Cowboys began the week looking at what broke down last week in the second half that resulted in a 31-6 loss to the University of Utah. Head Coach Jay Sawvel talked this week about the lessons his team learned from a game that was 3-0 at the half then slipped away in the final two quarters.
Meanwhile, in Boulder, CU is coming off last week's 36-20 loss to Houston on Friday night. The big question all week has been who will play quarterback this week for the Buffs. The position has been a revolving door through the first three weeks of the season.
Sanders said he knows but he wasn't talking much this week publicly.
Fifth-year senior Kaidon Salter, a first-year Buff who transferred from Liberty in December, started the first two games. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Staub got the start on Friday in Houston. True freshman JuJu Lewis, a five-star recruit in the 2025 class who turns 18 on Sunday, is in the mix, too.
A quarter of the way through the regular season, CU ranks 15th in the 16-team Big 12 in scoring (23.7 points per game) and 14th in total offense (334.3 yards per game).
Tomorrow's matchup will be the final non-conference game of the season for both teams. The Cowboys won't play again until they take on UNLV on October 4.
Head Coach Sawvel said his teams learned a lot of lessons last week against Utah and they're ready to take the field tomorrow.
As far as who will be at quarterback tomorrow night, the Cowboys Head Coach said it really doesn't make a difference. Wyoming is ready for both. Sawvel said the real trick is that the Cowboys need to focus on themselves and how Wyoming plays.
Saturday night's game kicks off at 8:15 on ESPN. Bigfoot 99 will have the radio broadcast beginning with pregame show at 6:45.
