Fort Collins, Colo. - Colorado State University football coach Sonny Lubick will put his team through one more day of practice in full pads as the Rams continued preparations for the team's season opener Saturday against Colorado.
Kickoff time for the game at INVESCO Field at Mile High in Denver is 5:45 p.m., and the game will be televised by ESPN.
School officials announced Tuesday that all individual game tickets have been sold for the game at the home of the Denver Broncos, which officially seats 76,125.
"I thought we were better tonight," said Lubick. "But the second day (of preparing specifically for a team) is always better."
The rest of the week, he said, the Rams will concentrate on consistency and being mentally and physically focused.
"If we can make the same improvement tomorrow (Wednesday), we'd be in good shape mentally and physically," he said.
Lubick also said the Rams would shorten the length of practice Wednesday and again Thursday then stage a brief walk-through in Fort Collins before busing to a downtown Denver hotel. Lubick said the Rams will be in full pads Wednesday, before donning on shoulder pads and helmets Thursday and shorts and jerseys Friday.
