- Colorado State concludes its season on Thanksgiving Day with a trip down I-25 to the Air Force Academy to take on the Falcons. The Rams play on Thanksgiving for the first time since 1978, when they traveled to Pacific. Air Force has won the last two meetings in the series and holds an advantage of 34-21-1 over the Rams all-time.
- CSU has not won at Air Force since a 31-12 victory on Oct. 31, 2002.
- The Rams rank 16th in FBS in passing yards per game (298.7)
- Junior All-America candidate WR Preston Williams ranks fourth among all FBS players in receptions per game (7.6), 6th in receiving yards (1,097) and tied for fifth with 11 receiving TDs, including two yesterday, both in the fourth quarter.
- Sophomore punter Ryan Stonehouse ranks 2nd in the FBS in gross punting average (48.6).
- Senior linebacker Josh Watson leads the team with career-high 114 tackles on the season to rank 18th FBS in tackles per game (10.4). Watson now ranks sixth in CSU history in career tackles (350).
