Kaidon Slater makes early statement in Colorado's football first fall camp practice
Salter was captured on video throwing a beautiful goal line fade to wide receiver Omarion Miller.
A potential Salter-Miller connection would be beneficial for the Buffaloes' offense, which has lost Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
Salter, a transfer from Liberty, is competing against star freshman Julian Lewis to become Colorado's starting quarterback and is making his presence felt, albeit in one practice.
Salter won Conference USA MVP in 2023 with the Flames, but had a down year last season. He threw for 1,886 yards with 22 total touchdowns in 2024, but if he can regain his MVP form that saw him put up 44 total touchdowns, he would immediately become one of the Big 12's top signal-callers.
The quarterback battle will be a major storyline to follow throughout fall camp, leading up to the season opener against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Aug. 29.

Sixers legend gives statement on Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over the NBA in the 2024-25 season. He led the league in scoring, took home the MVP, Western Conference finals MVP, and finals MVP awards, led the Thunder to their first championship in franchise history, and announced himself as the clear best player in the league. Gilgeous-Alexander has thrown the Thunder on his back and has taken the league by storm at this stage of his career. He deserves a lot of credit for being able to lead OKC to the mountaintop as he delivered a big performance on the game's biggest stage. Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson delivered his own statement on Gilgeous-Alexander as he continues to praise the talent coming into the league: You have to practice to become whatever you're trying to become in life. You think Shai didn't practice? Become the MVP, the best player in the world? You have to practice. Iverson was able to win the MVP award in 2001 and lead the Sixers to the finals before they fell to the Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led Los Angeles Lakers. He was an elite scorer during his time and has his number retired at the Wells Fargo Center. The Thunder are likely to do the same when the time comes for Gilgeous-Alexander.

NWSL games Saturday - Time, how to watch Bay FC, San Diego Wave and more
The NWSL continues its return from a summer break on Saturday, with two nationally-televised games both pairing teams that have plenty to prove as the second half of the season gets going. The North Carolina Courage (5W-3D-5L) sit outside the playoff places on goal difference, a disappointing outcome for a team that this winter added U.S. women's national team attacker Jaedyn Shaw to an already potent group. They will host the San Diego Wave (7W-3D-3L), who are out to demonstrate that an impressive start to the season under new coach Jonas Eidevall wasn't just a flash in the pan. After those two sides face off, Bay FC (4W-3L-6D) will welcome the Houston Dash (3W-2D-8L) in a battle between teams who need to kick into gear if they're going to qualify for the postseason. The Dash picked up just one point from their final five matches heading into the break, and moved striker Diana Ordóñez to Liga MX Femenil power Tigres during that span. Bay FC, meanwhile, made a big summer addition in the form of U.S. youth national team star Onyeka Gamero. Fans may have to wait a few weeks to see the 19-year-old play as she returns from a long-term knee injury, but she joins a team that has plenty of potential to climb the standings. Here's what to know as the NWSL continues its first weekend of action following the summer break, including who's playing on Saturday, kickoff times and how to watch the games: NWSL: Will Trinity Rodman return? Who will win MVP?
