Coming off of a blowout loss at Michigan, expectations have not changed for Colorado State in 2022. Everything that the Rams want to accomplish this season is still on the table, including reaching the postseason for the first time since 2017. In order for the Rams to begin the road to bowl season though, and prove that this program is…...

When Colorado State (0-1) and Middle Tennessee (0-1) face each other on Saturday, it will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Scheduled as a home-and-home agreement back in 2019, the Rams will host the Blue Raiders in the 2022 home opener, but then make the trip to Murfreesboro, TN in return next fall. That game is currently slated…...

Coming off of Saturday’s 51-7 loss to Michigan, head coach Jay Norvell is looking forward to the opportunity to correct the mistakes that hurt the Rams in Week 1. As the first-year CSU coach explained, there were opportunities for his team to capitalize more on both sides of the football last week, but the overall level of execution was just…...

Colorado State had no chance against No. 8 Michigan on Saturday. While it technically would have been possible for the Rams to pull an upset as 30.5 point underdogs, actually expecting an Applachian State-type result in Week 1 would have been like walking into a gas station fully expecting to win the lottery. Crazy things happen in college football, but…...

Finish better than you started. It’s a simple goal for a team in any sport, but particularly college football, where the playing field is far from even. Outside of Alabama, Ohio State, a few select others, the mindset for most teams is not national championship or bust. It can’t be — at least not in the current structure of the...

The 2022 college football season kicks off on Saturday with a Week 0 slate that features five Mountain West teams in action. While the Rams do not play on Saturday, four of the MW teams playing this weekend are on Colorado State’s schedule this fall. Three of them, Hawaii, Nevada and Wyoming, returned less production from 2021 than any other...

Going back to the spring, the Colorado State coaches had been open about wanting to see more production from the linebackers. On more than one occasion both head coach Jay Norvell and defensive coordinator Freddie Banks expressed to the media that they wanted to see the group flying all over the field and being disruptive against the run. And particularly…...

Niko Medved and his Colorado State staff are deeply rooted in the midwest. Over the years that’s served as a recruiting advantage for the Rams, as CSU has landed significant talent from Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska, to name a few. On Monday the Rams picked up a verbal commitment from the midwest once again. Kyan Evans, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound guard…...

Colorado State picked up another verbal commitment on Monday, adding to what is already the top-rated 2023 class in the Mountain West Conference. Niko Lopez, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound prospect out of Rancho Santa Margarita, California, announced his intention to play for the Green & Gold via Twitter. https://twitter.com/Nikolopez0/status/1556753543695982593 According to 247Sports, Lopez is a three-star recruit and presently holds offers…...

Colorado State’s latest verbal commit for the 2023 recruiting cycle is Damian Henderson.  An ESPN top 300 recruit (No. 260) and a four-star prospect according to the world wide leader, Henderson is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound athlete out of Los Alamitos, California. CSU originally offered Henderson back in January, shortly after Jay Norvell and Co. came over from the University of…...

The Colorado State men’s basketball team has an opportunity to do something special this season. Last year the Rams became just the second group in school history to win 20 or more games in three consecutive seasons, joining Tiny Grant’s teams from 1987-1990. If CSU does it again in 2022-23, Niko Medved’s team will be the first to win 20…...

Ayden Hector was one of the most sought after recruits in the country in the 2020 cycle. The 6-foot-0, 210-pound defensive back from Bellevue, Washington was a four-star prospect coming out of Eastside Catholic High School and received offers from Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Penn State and Wisconsin, among others. The No. 15 cornerback in the nation and No. 3 overall…...

LAS VEGAS — Timmy Chang was in the process of shopping for a home in Northern Colorado when he found out that his alma mater, the University of Hawaii, was in need of a new head coach. On January 14, 2022, following a mass exodus of players via the transfer portal and complaints of a toxic culture, Todd Graham resigned...

LAS VEGAS — Colorado State received one first-place vote in the annual preseason media poll, which was released on Wednesday morning by the Mountain West Conference. The Rams were tabbed to finish fourth in the Mountain division overall, just ahead of Wyoming and right behind the reigning conference champions (Utah State). Unsurprisingly, boring, picked to finish atop the Mountain was...

DENVER — On to the next one.  No. 20 Colorado State (11-0) was originally scheduled to play its first conference road game at Boise State (10-4) on Friday night. However, due to the Broncos being unable to play the matchup and Nevada (7-5) being unable to play their scheduled game at Viejas Arena, the Rams now will play at San…

FORT COLLINS, CO. — No arena? No problem.  For the second time this week Colorado State took down San Jose State at the Ability 360 Sport & Fitness Center in Phoenix, AZ. Highlighted by a hot offensive start, the Rams jumped out to a double-digit lead by halftime (14) and never looked back. After taking down the Spartans 88-61 on Saturday,…...

The Denver Broncos are absolutely stacked with talented at the outside linebacker position. And they plan to utilize that more than they ever have.

Case Keenum had a phenomenal season last year, but John Elway and Vance Joseph kept pointing to something else about their new quarterback as to why they brought him to Denver.
