Colorado Buffaloes Football Fanatic (3-4) @boulderbuffalo.bsky.social · 5h

Buffs beat Iowa State 24-17, the first win against a ranked opponent since TCU in 2023!

Gotta hand it to Salter for stepping up and playing great. And the defense making key stops, especially Tawfiq Byard.

Salter hits Joseph Williams for 39 yards on 3rd-and-16 to set up first down at the Iowa State 33!

Colorado can put this on ice if they take care of the ball!

Horrible offsides by Anquin Barnes to give Iowa State 1st and Goal after facing 4th and 1 from the 5.

Was literally just lined up offsides 🤦‍♂️

Iowa State’s third string kicker is injured and they have an offensive tackle kicking off.

Yes indeed

Iowa State runs on every down of their first series in the second half and bullies the Colorado defense for an 80-yard touchdown drive.

Due to a slippery field, Ralphie VII will not run to start the second half and has gone back to her ranch.

Say what you want about Salter, this Colorado coaching staff shares a ton of blame for this team being 2-4.

Let’s see if they can make adjustments for the second half.

Buck Buchanan just wide right on a 57-yard FG.

10-7 Iowa State.

Buffs get the ball to start the half.

Colorado Buffaloes Football Fanatic (3-4) @boulderbuffalo.bsky.social · 7h

The fact that Iowa State is going to be up 10-7 at halftime is a fucking travesty.

Instead of going for it at midfield on 4th and 2, the Buffs give the ball back and lets Iowa State drive 95 yards and Rocco Becht finds his rhythm.

Unbelievable.

They 100% should have gone for that 4th and 2.

Colorado Buffaloes Football Fanatic (3-4) @boulderbuffalo.bsky.social · 7h

Buffs defense hold again on third down, forcing ISU to punt from their end zone.

Cyclones are now 1-7 on 3rd down conversions.

Colorado offense HAS to reward this defense with a sustained drive to end the half.

After a horribly executed trick play and then a drop by Quentin Gibson on 3rd down the Buffs punt - Cyclones have the ball on their own 6
