QUICK HITS:
  • Colorado State prepares to welcome Wyoming for the first Border War contest to be played in Canvas Stadium, in a Friday night clash of MW Mountain Division rivals. The two programs—playing for the 109th time—battle annually for the Bronze Boot, held for the last two years by Wyoming. The game will be televised on CBS Sports Network, and be the Rams' third Friday night game this season (Aug. 31 vs. Colorado and Oct. 19 at Boise State).
  • The Rams rank 12th in FBS in offensive first downs gained (189) and 14th in passing offense (307.5).
  • Junior WR Preston Williams ranks among the nation's best in most major receiving categories: 4th in receiving yards (825), 5th in receiving touchdowns (8), 6th in receptions per game (7.6), 7th in receiving yards per game (103.1)
  • Williams' 12 receptions in the Sept. 8 win over Arkansas tied for second-most in a game in CSU program history.
  • Williams (9-154, 1 TD) and sophomore WR Warren Jackson (9-105, 2 TDs) each surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark in Friday's loss at Boise State. It was Williams' fourth 100+ game of 2018 and Jackson's first.
  • Grad transfer QB K.J. Carta-Samuels ranks 6th in FBS in passing yards (2,172), 11th in passing touchdowns (18) and 17th in completions per game (22.2).
  • Senior LB Josh Watson ranks 24th in FBS with an average of 10.4 tackles per game.
  • Sophomore punter Ryan Stonehouse ranks 2nd in FBS in gross punting average (50.4). 
  • Senior RB Izzy Matthews rushed 12 times for 109 yards and a touchdown Friday at Boise State and moved into 11th place on CSU's all-time rushing list with 2,471 career yards, passing Larry Jones (2,386; 1977-80) and Chris Nwoke (2,455; 2010-13). It was his second 100-yard rushing game of 2018 and sixth of his career. Matthews enters Friday's game just 51 rushing yards away from CSU's all-time top 10.
