Well, this is awkward. Or, maybe not. Redshirt freshman quarterback Coleman Key was granted his release from the Colorado State Rams football team on Monday but will remain with the team through the Arizona Bowl. As has been the case with this “Ramily” head coach Mike Bobo as well as offensive coordinator Will Friend were more then friendly when…...
Homecoming, with a rival coming to town. “As Rams and as men, we’ve got an in-state rival coming in here Saturday before we go on our bye week,” head coach Mike Bobo told his team after last Saturday’s loss. “We need to do whatever we can to try to get a win in that ball game.” The stage is set…...
Before the season kicked off, Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins fed fans with his personalized microwaveable popcorn. Now, in order to break out of their offensive funk, the Colorado State Rams need to feed Higgins the football. Feed the beast, let him feast on footballs, yards and touchdowns just like in 2014. Without a doubt, “Hollywood” is a star for CSU…...
The most popular player on a football team is the backup quarterback. And for Coleman Key, that makes him the man on many Ram fans’ minds. Especially after the Colorado State Rams lost 18-33 to the Utah State Aggies Saturday. Nick Stevens is the current starting quarterback for the 2-3 Rams, and has been, in effect, since spring. He…...
Quarterback is a unique position. It’s the “big man on campus,” the young man with all the spotlight shining in his eyes, who can either be hailed as a hero or villain for his acts on the field. And for Colorado State’s quarterback position, the situation is a bit touchy currently. Head coach Mike Bobo named Nick Stevens the…...
Quarterbacks need to have a short memory. Especially when they don’t have a ton of experience. For Nick Stevens – the reigning Mountain West Player of the Week – Saturday was a rough outing starting from the first play from scrimmage. The redshirt sophomore of the Colorado State Rams dropped back and unleashed a deep pass to Joe Hansley…...
Close but no cigar. The Colorado State Rams football team gave it all they had Saturday when the Minnesota Golden Gophers came to Fort Collins, but still came up short in the end. Backup quarterback Coleman Key led the Rams on a 55-second game-tying drive to send the game into overtime but Dalyn Dawkins drop turned into an interception…...
A head coach is an enigma. He has public persona and one players see behind the scenes, as well. Every player that BSN has interviewed during Colorado State Rams fall camp has told a long tale about their coach, Mike Bobo. They don’t speak about his impressive record with the Georgia Bulldogs, the players he helped produce or how hard…...
Yesterday the coaches met as a group, studied film and made their decision. Not a huge surprise. Head coach Mike Bobo has been leaning towards redshirt sophomore Nick Stevens since the beginning of camp but it was wise to not count out Coleman Key too early. He is a talented young quarterback. What really tipped the scales was consistency. In…...
Colorado State experienced their first scrimmage under new head coach Mike Bobo Saturday, and players really came to compete. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. Overall, the defense simply didn’t play with enough effort. Creating consistency throughout the team is a priority and the Rams are still searching for just that. On offense, the quarterback competition seems…...

No, Tupac and Master P aren’t on Mike Bobo’s personal playlist, but it didn’t stop the head coach from allowing the hip-hop to bump at his team’s third practice of the fall. The music playing during individual drills helped bring energy to the practice field, not that the Colorado State Rams needed it, as Bobo praised their physicality as…...
Being a rookie in the NFL is hard. There’s a ton to learn – from playbooks to teammates and coaches – it’s demanding physically and mentally, oh, and the veterans prank you, too. Former Colorado State Rams quarterback Garrett Grayson, who was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the third round of May’s NFL Draft, felt the wrath…...
Welcome back, football fans. The beginning of fall football camp is always a fun time of year for those fanatics. It’s a time of great excitement, anticipation and angst; can’t it just be Sept. 5 already? Of course, a new coaching staff leading a team which made bowl games in back-to-back seasons adds to that excitement, as does a…...
Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall camp, Colorado State football fans. While we may still be feeling the heat of early August most days, the ceremonial end of summer is here for CSU players and coaches alike as the team practices for the first time today at 2:50 p.m. MT at their on-campus fields. For new head…...
As a new era emerges under new head coach Mike Bobo a quarterback competition has heated up between two young quarterbacks. Coleman Key and Nick Stevens are battling for the top spot.

No college football team is ready to take the field on the second weekend in April. But Colorado State did just that in their spring scrimmage – which was more game-like than a practice – in front of fans and some former players as well at Denver Broncos headquarters in Dove Valley. And when they got into the scrimmage, the…...
