- The 2020 season will mark the first time the Rams have had an eight-game regular season schedule since the team's return following World War II in 1945.
- That season, Colorado A&M fielded the youngest starting quarterback in school history, 17-year-old Bob Hainlen.
- The 2020 season will also include the fewest regular season games since students adopted the "Rams" nickname, also that 1945 season, and it will be the second-latest season opener in school history – the latest coming following the 1918 flu epidemic when the Rams played a two-game schedule that started on Nov. 16 under head coach Harry Hughes.
