Colorado State vs Boise State Game Preview

Why Colorado State Will Win

The Rams were able to come up with a two wins in the last three games by getting tough on the ground.

What’s Going To Happen

Boise State is now third in the nation total defense, first against the pass, and it should all work against a Colorado State offense that won’t be able to throw.

The Bronco ground attack will rumble for close to 300 yards – it hit 316 yards in the two games before Air Force – and it’ll take over and put this away early in the second quarter.
