With a recent performance that showcased both resilience and areas for improvement, the Rams are looking to capitalize on their home advantage this Saturday.
Recent Performance Analysis
The Rams' season has been a tale of two games, with their latest outing against Northern Colorado ending in a convincing 38-17 victory. This win was characterized by an impressive offensive display, accumulating 426 total yards with a balanced attack through both the air and on the ground. Quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi's arm was pivotal, contributing 180 passing yards with a completion rate of over 65 percent.

The defense managed to record one sack and five tackles for loss amidst challenging circumstances.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption and showcasing growth from previous setbacks. The key battle will likely be fought in the trenches; if the Rams can control the line of scrimmage as effectively as they did against Northern Colorado, they stand a good chance of dictating play pace against the Buffaloes.
Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium will undoubtedly play its part too; home support can be immensely influential in close encounters and could provide that extra push needed for victory.
