GAME NOTES
  • The Rams enter 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.
  • The last time Colorado State defeated all three rivals (Colorado, Wyoming and Air Force) in the same season was in 2002 - the same year of the Rams' last conference championship.
  • The Colorado State offense boasts one of the most prolific weapons in all of college football in wide receiver Tory Horton. After racking up 96 catches for 1,136 yards and eight touchdowns, Horton enters the year as a preseason All-American according to Phil Steele (2nd Team), Athlon (3rd Team) and other outlets. Horton also holds a 91 overall rating in EA Sports' College Football 25 and is the game's fifth-best receiver.
  • The Rams will play seven games at home for the first time in program history in 2024, highlighted by a pair of rivalry matchups 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.
  • CSU will be honoring the legendary Lt. Col. John Mosley during the home opener, in addition to retiring his No. 14 across all Ram athletic programs. Mosley was the first African American to letter for the CSU football program, in addition to numerous incredible achievements after his time in Fort Collins.
