In this episode of Locked On Buffs, host Kevin Borba breaks down the recent injury news surrounding star running back Dallan Hayden. Just weeks before the season opener, Hayden's status is a major concern. What does his absence mean for the Buffaloes' offense? Borba analyzes the impact on the running back room, discussing who will need to step up and how the team's offensive game plan might change. He also provides a closer look at the severity of Hayden's injury and a timeline for his potential return. This is a must-listen for any Colorado fan worried about the team's backfield depth. Don't miss this in-depth discussion and analysis of the Buffs' latest injury setback. 

8:51 Colorado’s offense must prioritize getting the ball to running back DeKalon Taylor. The Incarnate Word transfer has been a breakout star in fall camp, impressing coaches and teammates with his explosive speed and versatility. He's a true game-breaker, capable of making defenders miss in the open field and creating big plays as both a runner and a pass-catcher. With a revamped offensive line and new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur emphasizing a more balanced attack, Taylor is the key to unlocking the ground game. Feeding him the ball will not only generate yards and touchdowns but also open up the passing game, keeping defenses honest and off-balance. 

16:38 Predicting the offensive starters for Colorado based on recent intel.
