Step back in time to 1994 - a year etched in the annals of Colorado Buffaloes and college football history. Amid the electrifying atmosphere of the Folsom Field, a legend was born: Rashaan Salaam. In one of the most memorable seasons ever, Salaam shattered the 2,000-yard rushing mark, a feat that placed him among the pantheon of college football greats.

With a blend of sheer power, agility, and vision, Salaam dominated the field. His journey to 2,000 yards was not just about numbers; it was a story of relentless drive and unparalleled skill. Each game, each touchdown, and every breakaway run electrified the fans and left an indelible mark on college football.

On November 19, 1994, during a chilly afternoon game against Iowa State, Salaam etched his name in history. Needing just 135 yards to reach the milestone, he exploded with his signature bursts of speed and resilience. In the third quarter, Salaam needed only 28 yards to reach the 2,000 yard benchmark. Taking a handoff from quarterback Kordell Stewart, Salaam broke free for a breathtaking 67-yard touchdown run to become only the fourth player in NCAA history to eclipse 2,000 yards. The stadium erupted in cheers, knowing they had witnessed a historic moment.

Rashaan Salaam's record-breaking season was more than just personal glory; it was a beacon of excellence for the Colorado Buffaloes. He became the first Buff to win the prestigious Heisman Trophy, symbolizing the pinnacle of individual achievement in college football. Salaam's extraordinary season in 1994 not only set a new standard for Colorado but also elevated the program's status on the national stage.
