As the Buffaloes look to cement their 2025 Big 12 title hopes, three critical matchups stand out to host Kevin Borba. Georgia Tech provides the primetime season opener—an early test under a renewed roster and new leadership. BYU, returning to Boulder in late September, brings discipline, tempo control, and veteran firepower that could expose Colorado’s growing pains. Meanwhile, TCU represents a midseason conference gauntlet—beat the Frogs and the path to the Big 12 Championship stays clear. These games aren’t just on the schedule—they define whether the Buffs emerge as contenders or get left behind.

11:31 In today’s breakdown, Borba dives into why Kaidon Salter looks locked in as Colorado’s starting quarterback. From elite mobility to improved decision-making, Salter has separated himself in fall camp. His command of the offense, leadership presence, and big-play ability have made a strong impression on coaches and teammates alike. With consistency in passing and growth in reading defenses, Salter’s rise feels earned—not gifted. We examine his camp performances, competition with the other QBs, and what this decision means for the Buffs' 2025 season outlook. The Salter era in Boulder may be officially underway.
