GAME NOTES

The Rams are in year three under head coach Jay Norvell who was named the program's 24th head coach on Dec. 6, 2021. Norvell led his former program, Nevada, onto Sonny Lubick Field in the 2021 finale on Nov. 27 and returned to Fort Collins nine days later as the Rams' new head coach.
Colorado State is a winning football program! With a 21-13 victory at Air Force on Oct. 19, the Rams went above .500 for the first time under head coach Jay Norvell and the first time since 2017. When the Rams marched into Reno on Nov. 2, they took home a 38-21 victory to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2017.
CSU's offensive line has been one of the best in the nation, and the numbers back it up. In addition to paving the way for 187.6 rushing yards per game (32nd nationally), the Rams front unit has surrendered just eight sacks across the entire season, the fourth-best mark in the nation. Behind the Mountain West's most seasoned player Jacob Gardner (55 starts in 55 career games) and Drew Moss (44 career starts), The Mob is creating nightmares for opposing defenses.
Colorado State's defense has been locking up the Mountain West. The Rams have held MW opponents to just 14.8 points per game through five games, the top mark in the league and the only mark below 20.
The turnaround of the CSU run game in 2024 cannot be understated. In 2023, the Rams mustered just 92.2 yards on the ground per game, which was the ninth worst mark nationally. This season the Rams are racking up 187.6 rushing yards per game, which has them among the top 40 in the nation. It is the fourth-largest increase by any FBS team and largest by any MW team. The Rams have also gone from 10 rushing touchdowns last season to 16 already in 2024.
Colorado State has kept it clean this season, only being knocked for 44.0 penalty yards per game This marks ranks 27th nationally and is second in the MW to Air Force (31.6 YPG).
Colorado State set a Canvas Stadium - and program - record with 40,099 fans in attendance for the Rocky Mountain Showdown on Sept. 14. It also marked back-to-back sellouts after Ram Nation turned out for the home opener against Northern Colorado on Sept. 7. In total, Colorado State has sold out four of its first six home games of the season.
