DENVER — 69 yards.  Despite it being his first career start at quarterback, C.J. Montes had a lot to say prior to Saturday’s matchup between Colorado State (3-3) and New Mexico (2-5).  In an interview with the Albuquerque Journal, the freshman quarterback confidently stated that schematically he felt the Lobos should run through the Rams. “I think we should blow…...

DENVER — 11 in a row.  Colorado State (3-3) extended its winning streak against New Mexico (2-5) to 11 games with a 36-7 victory over the Lobos. The road win was CSU’s second of 2021 and improved the Rams’ record to .500 for the first time this season. While the Lobos have struggled mightily on offense this year and did…...

DENVER — Colorado State travels to New Mexico this weekend with an opportunity to go .500 for the first time in 2021. If the Rams (2-3, 1-0) are going to do so, though, and continue a winning streak over the Lobos that extends 10 games, they need to replicate the type of performance they put together in last week’s 32-14 victory…...

DENVER — Colorado State (2-3, 1-0) is coming off of its best team performance of the 2021 season. The 32-14 victory over San Jose State (3-3, 1-1) was a culmination of progress and talent finally coming together after an up-and-down start in the non-conference slate.  While the win was encouraging, CSU can’t get complacent. They’ll need to follow it up…...

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State men’s basketball opens the 2021-22 season in less than a month and expectations for the Green & Gold are extremely high.  The Rams return a roster that has predominantly been playing together for two to three years, including two of the top five players in the Mountain West, David Roddy and Isaiah Stevens. They added…...

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State (2-3) responded in a major way with Saturday’s 32-14 beatdown of San Jose State (3-3).  While the Spartans are not playing like the team that shocked the world by winning the 2020 Mountain West championship, they’re still a talented group, especially on defense and beating them at home was important for the Rams.  “Great to…...

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — In front of a packed stadium of 34,780 fans at Canvas Stadium, the fourth largest crowd since the Rams returned to campus in 2017, Colorado State (2-3) followed up its last two strong showings with an absolutely dominant performance against the reigning conference champions on Saturday afternoon, defeating San Jose State (3-3) in a 32-14 beatdown. …...

DENVER — It’s now or never.  Colorado State (1-3) has not had the hot start to the season that you would hope for. Losing a pair of home games to open a campaign is about as suboptimal as it gets. But while their 1-3 record has put them in a hole, it’s not necessarily something they can’t climb out of.  The…...

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Jordan Kress feels right at home at Colorado State.  Originally from Loveland, the Colorado native and former New Mexico Lobo wanted to spend his final season of eligibility somewhere that really embraces a team-first mentality. According to Kress, that’s exactly what he found at CSU. “They’re building something here under Coach Addazio,” Kress said.  Although he’s…...

FORT COLLINS, CO. — Colorado State is still looking to find more consistency with its passing game. Sitting at 1-3 the Rams have started slow but have an opportunity to turn things around in conference play. That is if the Green & Gold can start to help out its defense by putting more points on the board.  In each of…...

DENVER — September has come to an end and Rams fans have already been put through the wringer. Colorado State (1-3) started 2021 off with two disappointing losses to South Dakota State and Vanderbilt, but Saturday’s near upset of No. 5 Iowa was a different kind of pain. CSU was able to hang tough with the Hawkeyes as they took…...

DENVER — Colorado State (1-3) is losing a pair of veterans on the roster. Running back Marcus McElroy Jr. first announced his decision to transfer on Wednesday morning and shortly after it was reported by Rivals that defensive tackle Ellison Hubbard has entered the transfer portal as well. Hubbard has since confirmed to DNVR that he is in fact transferring.…

DENVER — Marcus McElroy Jr. has played his last game as a Colorado State Ram. The veteran running back announced that he is leaving the program and will use his final season of eligibility elsewhere.  In a statement posted via Twitter, McElroy wrote the following: “I would like to start off by saying thank you to CSU for giving me the…

DENVER —  The Rams know that a 1-3 start is not good enough.  Colorado State fought valiantly against No. 5 Iowa (4-0) on Saturday and genuinely had a chance to upset the Big Ten-leading Hawkeyes. Had a couple of calls gone the other way or had the Rams been able to make a few more plays offensively, we genuinely could…...

DENVER — Close but no cigar.  Colorado State (1-3) had an opportunity to upset No. 5 Iowa (4-0) on Saturday. The Rams led by a touchdown at halftime and genuinely looked like the better team for parts of the matchup. Unfortunately it was a game of two halves and the depth of Hawkeyes, along with a couple of untimely mistakes…...

DENVER — Nobody expected Colorado State to hang with No. 5 Iowa. The Rams entered Saturday’s matchup as 23.5 underdogs to the Hawkeyes. It was just a game for a paycheck, an opportunity for the athletic department to take the $1.35 million and run. After all, the team that lost to Vanderbilt couldn’t possibly beat one of the top teams…...

DENVER — Following last Saturday’s upset of Toledo, Colorado State will face No. 5 Iowa on the road in what will be the first-ever matchup between the two programs.  Currently listed as 22 point underdogs to the Big Ten-leading Hawkeyes, there isn’t a lot of confidence in the Green & Gold on a national level, which is unsurprising after Iowa’s…...

DENVER — Following back-to-back heartbreakers, Ram Nation can finally exhale as Colorado State delivered its first win of the season last Saturday, beating the Toledo Rockets 22-6 on the road.  While we have predominantly focused on the offense in the previous editions of the Rams Film Room, this one is all about the defense, as they stepped up in a…...

DENVER — Another week, another standout performance for Trey McBride. The veteran tight end finished Saturday’s upset over Toledo with nine receptions for 109 yards. Meanwhile, without Dante Wright on the field, the rest of Colorado State’s roster combined for one receiving yard in the win. As a result of his stellar showing, McBride was named the Offensive Player of…...
