FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Eight months after the originally scheduled season opener, the Rams will take the field for the first time in the 2020-21 season against New Mexico on Friday at 2 p.m. inside Canvas Stadium.

The long-awaited season will continue Sunday with a noon kickoff against the Utah State Aggies – also at Canvas Stadium.

Coming off of its most successful season in its seven-year existence as a program, Colorado State looks to continue the upward trend it saw in the 12-win 2019 season.

"The only thing we are certain is that our energy will be at level 11," head coach Bill Hempen said. "We will be as foreign to them as they are to us. A game of problem solvers is in the making."
