Rams' Recent Form: A Closer Look


The Colorado State Rams have shown a mix of resilience and skill in their recent outings. Their victory over Air Force Falcons by 21-13 on October 19th highlighted their defensive prowess. With four sacks and two interceptions, the defense proved to be a nightmare for the Falcons' offense. Special mention goes to Gabe Kirschke and Mukendi Wa-Kalonji for leading the charge with impactful plays that turned the tide in favor of CSU.


On offense, Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi's arm has been crucial. His ability to connect deep downfield was evident in his performance against San Jose State Spartans where he threw for 269 yards with a completion rate of 73 percent. Avery Morrow's ground game cannot be overlooked either; his consistent performance has been vital for balancing CSU's offensive strategy.


Looking Ahead: Strategies and Expectations


Against New Mexico Lobos, it is imperative that CSU leverages its defensive strengths while minimizing penalties which have previously stunted their momentum during critical phases of past games. The team needs to maintain discipline and focus on converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns rather than settling for field goals.


The key matchup will likely be between CSU’s defense against NM’s offense where CSU’s ability to pressure the quarterback could significantly impact NM’s passing game. Fans should also watch out for how well CSU's offensive line protects Fowler-Nicolosi, giving him enough time to make those crucial passes or decide when to hand off the ball to Morrow who has proven his ability to find gaps even in tight defenses.


A Call To The Fans


As we look forward towards this clash on October 26th at 5:00 PM EDT at Sonny Lubick Field at Canvas Stadium, it is clear that support from fans could provide an additional boost needed by Rams against Lobos. This game is not just about winning but setting a tone for rest of season; it's about proving that setbacks are just setups for comebacks.
