GAME NOTES
- Colorado State welcomes its 25th head coach in Jim Mora who was hired in November. He comes to CSU from UConn where he led the Huskies for four seasons, leading them to back-to-back nine win seasons in the final two years.
Mora is one of six former NFL head coaches who are guiding college programs in 2026 when he begins his tenure this week. - A new head coach means a lot of new faces on the roster for the Rams in 2026. CSU welcomes 76 fresh faces to the program with 41 of them being transfers. Twenty-one of those 41 newcomers will be on the offensive side of the ball.Â
Two of those newcomers on the offensive side of the ball find their names on national watch lists entering the season. Running back Mel Brown and tight end Juice Vereen find themselves on their respective positions watch list. Both came to CSU from UConn where they played for Mora. Brown is on the Doak Walker list after his two years at UConn led to 935 yards on 150 carrer and four scores. Vereen, played one year in Stores grabbing 33 receptions for 310 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. - There is some continuity amongst the change for CSU on the staff with the return of defensive coordinator Tyson Summers.Â
- Colorado State enters its inaugural season in the Pac-12 joining Boise State, Fresno State, Gonzaga (all sports, but football), Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Washington State and Utah State.
- 2026 will mark the third straight season Colorado State hosts seven home games. CSU is 8-6 at Canvas Stadium over the past two years.Â
