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 rushing game was no less dominant, amassing 246 yards and averaging six yards per carry.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in their season opener against Texas Longhorns where they faced a tough 52-0 defeat. Despite this setback, there were glimpses of potential within the team's defense and special teams play. 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.


Fans can catch this anticipated matchup live on CBS this Saturday night at 7:30 PM ET from Fort Collins, CO (80526). With both teams eager to assert their dominance early in the season, it promises to be an encounter filled with strategic depth and competitive spirit.
