A week ago, many fans and media believed it was time for Deion Sanders to make a change at QB. At 2-4, the season felt lost, and the only solution appeared to be to turn the keys over to freshman Julian Lewis and let him learn on the job to prepare for next season.
Kaidon Salter threw three interceptions in the loss to BYU, continuing a trend of puzzling decision-making by the veteran Liberty transfer. With a bye week looming, another loss likely would have led to Sanders making the change at QB.
Instead, Salter "stood up and stood out" in Colorado's 24-17 win over Iowa State, putting together his best performance of the season.
