Colorado Buffaloes and Wyoming Cowboys Set to Clash in First Meeting Since 2009

After a 13-year hiatus, the Colorado Buffaloes and Wyoming Cowboys are all set to square off in a nonconference contest. The last time these two teams met was back in 2009.

The Buffaloes, currently preparing for this highly anticipated game, hold a commanding 23-3-1 record against the Cowboys. Colorado's coach, Deion Sanders, has made a surprising decision for the quarterback position, choosing to start Shedeur Sanders in the game against Wyoming. However, it's important to note that Shedeur Sanders is no longer with the team, as he has departed for the NFL.

In the absence of Shedeur Sanders, Kaidon Salter has been the starting quarterback for the Buffaloes. Salter has shown promising performance this season, throwing for 261 yards, a touchdown, and has rushed for 67 yards and two scores. However, he was replaced by Ryan Staub in the last game. Staub has been impressive so far, throwing for 362 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.

On the other side of the field, the Cowboys are aiming to bounce back from their first loss of the season, a 31-6 setback against Utah. Wyoming's coach, Jay Sawvel, has emphasised the need for his team to improve offensively. Sophomore Kaden Anderson struggled in Wyoming's last game, completing only 12 of 23 passes for 108 yards with an interception.

Despite their offensive struggles, the Cowboys' defense has been the team's biggest strength. They permitted just a blanking of Akron and had not allowed more than 10 points in a game prior to the game against Utah. The Cowboys' defense surrendered 28 points in the second half against Utah, a performance they will be eager to improve upon.

Wyoming has scored 47 points this season, with 31 points coming in a home win against Northern Iowa. The Cowboys are looking to regain their defensive form and find offensive consistency as they prepare to face the Buffaloes.

The stage is set for an exciting clash between these two historic rivals. Both teams will be keen to put their best foot forward and come out victorious in this much-anticipated matchup.
