The video is setting the tone for how the Colorado Buffaloes are ready to prove doubters wrong against the BYU Cougars.

Kaidon Salter Ready To Step Up?

Colorado quarterback Kaidon Salter is coming off a crucial game against Wyoming. After Colorado started quarterback Ryan Staub in week 3 against the Houston Cougars, Salter understood the changes that had to be made and stepped up to earn his position back.

This season, Salter has passed for 565 yards and four touchdowns. Against Wyoming, he went 18-of-28 for 304 yards and three touchdowns. He showed much better decision-making, understanding when to extend plays and run the ball himself. He had 11 carries for 86 yards and one touchdown in week 4.

As shown in the hype video, Brown is proving to be a big addition to Colorado and can once again be a top target due to his speed. Brown leads the team with 203 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

What will help Salter is if the Buffaloes can get the run game going. Colorado has shown immense improvement with the ground game this season, but staying consistent will help the Buffaloes' offense open up overall.

While Salter leads the team in rushing yards, the team has two talented running backs who can be playmakers. Running backs Micah Welch and Simeon Price both have 123 rushing yards this season. Price also has two rushing touchdowns, while Welch has one.

Salter and the offense are heading into a tough game and have the chance to prove doubters wrong and lead the Buffaloes to another win.

Colorado’s Defense To Shut Down BYU Early?

The Colorado Buffaloes are at home for a night game against a Big 12 conference opponent, and the stadium has the chance to be electric. The crowd's energy can help the Buffaloes’ defense cause issues for BYU’s offense.

The defense will have to shut down the Cougars’ strong run game early and force quarterback Bear Bachmeier to throw. Bachmeier totals 518 passing yards for four touchdowns, similar to Salter.

A win for the Buffaloes would not only help keep them in contention for a bowl game, but beating a ranked opponent would show Colorado should never have been counted out.

The Colorado Buffaloes and the No. 25 BYU Cougars will kick off at 8:15 p.m. MT at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.
