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 seeking its first bowl game since 2017, and first under Norvell. Over his five years in Reno (2017-21), Norvell compiled four-straight seven-plus win seasons and led the Wolf Pack to four bowl games.
  • 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.
  • Colorado State's offensive line is full of experience, including the Mountain West's most seasoned player in center Jacob Gardner (49 starts in 49 career games). Gardner and the Rams' front unit allowed just 14 sacks last season - tied for 11th in the nation - and have allowed just five through four games in 2024 (tied for 31st).
  • The Rams will play seven games at home for the first time in program history in 2024, highlighted by a pair of rivalry match ups in the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado (Sept. 14) and The Border War against Wyoming (Nov. 15). The last time both rivals were in Fort Collins the same season was in 1996.
  • Colorado State is committed to improving on both sides of the rushing game in 2024. Norvell identified 4.0 yards per carry as a number to target, wanting his offense to exceed that number and his defense to hold opponents below it. So far so good as the Rams are currently averaging 4.8 yards per carry and are holding opponents to just 3.8 yards per attempt.
