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 last Saturday, the Rams are above .500 for the first time under head coach Jay Norvell and the first time since 2017.
CSU's offensive line is full of experience, including the Mountain West's most seasoned player in center Jacob Gardner (52 starts in 52 career games). Gardner and the Rams' front unit allowed just 14 sacks last season - tied for 11th in the nation - and have allowed just eight through seven games in 2024 (tied for 24th). - Colorado State will be without star wide receiver Tory Horton for the remainder of the season due to injury. In his place, Armani Winfield and Caleb Goodie have stepped up to replace his production as they recorded the first 100-yard outings of their respective careers in back-to-back weeks. Winfield hit the century mark against San José State in Week 6, while Goodie followed right behind by reaching triple digits in Week 7 against Air Force.
- 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 180.6 rushing yards per game, which has them among the top 50 in the nation.
- 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.
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.
