Ram ran for second 100-yard game this season
FORT COLLINS. – Colorado State running back Justin Marshall was tabbed the Mountain West Freshman of the Week, the league announced Monday morning.
Â
Marshall posted one of his best performances of the season in CSU's 24-10 win over Wyoming in the Border War Game on Friday, rushing for 104 yards on 16 carries while adding a reception for 12 yards. The redshirt freshman from Merrillville, Ind., posted three explosive runs (15-or-more yards), including a 38-yard burst on the second offensive play of the game that set up a Ram touchdown.
Â
His Border War Game performance marked the second time Marshall has reached the century mark this season, doing so in the season opener at No. 4 Texas. Marshall led a backfield that posted 248 yards from scrimmage, which paved the way for bringing the Bronze Boot back to Fort Collins for the first time since 2020.
Â
The Rams are riding a five-game winning streak into this Saturday's road matchup against Fresno State, which kicks off at 8:30 p.m. MT. Colorado State is looking for its eighth win of the season, a feat it has achieved just twice in the last 20 seasons.
