Now to the keys to victory for the Rams.
Keys to a colorado state victory
1. Composure
The Rams have been a boom or bust team this year. Sometimes within the same game. In order to earn their first ever win over Boise State, CSU isn’t going to have to stay composed. They can’t get too high or too low. Play the game as it comes to them and they have a chance.
2. Play Smart Defense
The Rams grew frustrated last week and through the kitchen sink at the Aggies. Unfortunately, Utah State seemed to have a perfect answer every time. Against Boise State, the Rams have to keep everything in front of them. Mohamed Kamara is a game time decision and if he can’t go others will have to step up.
3. Take what the defense gives you
Another game time decision in Tory Horton. And again, if Horton can’t go, the offense has to stpe up. The offense for the Rams let them down last week, this week they need to step up. They can’t try too much, but should only take what the defense gives them.
Prediction
It’s homecoming in Fort Collins. The Rams seem to play the Broncos close in Fort Collins, for the most part. This could be the day, but I don’t see the Rams getting their first win over Boise State. CSU will keep it close, but the Broncos will put it out in the end.
Final Score: Boise State 38, Colorado State 31
