At Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium, the Colorado State Rams showcased a strong offensive performance despite their loss to the Wyoming Cowboys. The game saw the Rams accumulate a total of 339 yards, with an impressive ground game accounting for 235 yards of that total. The rushing attack was led by a dynamic display that included a longest run of 36 yards and an average gain per rush attempt sitting at approximately five yards.


The passing game for the Colorado State Rams was efficient as well, with eight completions on fourteen attempts resulting in 110 passing yards. Their receiving corps managed to rack up an average of nearly fourteen yards per reception, highlighting their ability to make significant plays downfield.


Special teams also contributed positively for the Rams; they successfully converted two field goals with one being from beyond forty yards out. Moreover, their punting unit maintained solid numbers with an average net yardage close to forty-one per punt and one punt landing inside the twenty-yard line.


Defensively, Colorado State forced one fumble which they recovered and registered one sack against Wyoming's quarterback for eight lost yardage on that play. However, penalties were somewhat of an issue as seven flags were thrown against them totaling fifty-five penalty yards.


On the other side of the ball, while not dominating statistically like their opponents did in terms of yardage or time possession which stood impressively over thirty-seven minutes for Colorado State compared to less than twenty-three minutes for Wyoming – it was ultimately efficiency in critical moments that led to victory for the home team.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought contest under artificial lights before more than twenty-two thousand fans in attendance, fans can anticipate another exciting home game as Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium will be hosting next week's encounter between Colorado State and Boise State Broncos on November 11th at 8:30 PM local time. This upcoming event will be broadcasted live on CBS Sports Network satellite channel two hundred twenty-one where supporters can tune in to follow all action live from Fort Collins.
