2016 Highlights
2016 SEASON REVIEW
2016 Highlights • Colorado State won four of its final five regular-season contests to qualify for a bowl game for the fourth year in a row after a 3-4 start to the season. CSU is one of three Mountain West schools to play in a bowl game in each of the past four seasons. • WR Michael Gallup, P Hayden Hunt and OL Fred Zerblis were named to the All-Mountain West first team in December, joining second-team members Jake Bennett (OL) and Kevin Davis (LB) and honorable mention selections Nick Callender (OL), Nick Stevens (QB) and Paul Thurston (OL). • CSU went 5-1 at home in 2016, the final season at Hughes Stadium. The Rams closed the door on the 49-year-old stadium on Nov. 19 and will return to campus in 2017 at their new, on-campus stadium. • CSU’s season captains, voted on by their peers, were LB Kevin Davis, P Hayden Hunt, TE Nolan Peralta and OL Fred Zerblis. • 8 of CSU’s 11 regular-season FBS opponents competed in a bowl game. Overall, CSU’s 13 opponents combined for a 73-60 (.549) record, good for the 35th-toughest schedule in FBS. The Rams’ six losses came to teams with a combined mark of 56-24 (.700). • After starting three different quarterbacks through the first three games of the season, the Rams’ offense got into a rhythm midway through the year. Over the final six games, CSU averaged 47.8 points and 533.8 yards per game, figures which ranked 2nd and 4th, respectively, in all of FBS from Oct. 16 forward. Overall, the Rams ranked 28th in FBS in scoring offense and 30th in total offense; on Oct. 16, they ranked 96th and 75th in those two categories. • CSU posted six shutouts in a half in 2016, including an entire-game shutout vs. Fresno State (11/5), the Rams’ first since 1997. • CSU scored 53 of 56 times it reached the red zone (94.6%), a figure which ranked 4th in FBS and was the best in school history dating back to at least 2005. • In addition to blocking for the third-best offense in school history, the Rams’ offensive line surrendered just 13 sacks, a figure which ranked 8th in FBS. • A trio of CSU running backs rushed for more than 500 yards, with each crossing the 100-yard mark vs. New Mexico (11/19). In that contest, CSU totaled 412 rushing yards, the most in 15 seasons and the 8th-best mark in school history. Overall, CSU’s 2,831 net rushing yards and 5.3 yards-per-carry average rank fifth and second, respectively, in school history. • After turning the ball over 27 times in 2015, CSU made one of the largest jumped in FBS, giving up the ball just 12 times, including 7 interceptions. The 12 turnovers lost rank 17th (compared to 116th in 2015) and the 7 interceptions (13th in FBS) were a school record. • CSU had 27 players make their CSU debuts in 2016, including nine true freshmen. Among them were QB Collin Hill and RB Marvin Kinsey, Jr., who put up eye-opening numbers before their seasons ended early due to knee injuries. • CSU had 22 players make their first FBS starts in 2016 (T-8th in FBS). • The Rams’ defense limited two of the top rushing attacks in back-to-back weeks. New Mexico entered the Nov. 19 contest leading the nation with 347.8 rushing yards per game, but were out-rushed by the Rams by 127 yards. A week later, CSU stuffed Mountain West champion San Diego State and the NCAA’s all-time career rushing leader Donnel Pumphrey. Entering the game ranked second in FBS with 168.6 rushing yards per game, CSU held Pumphrey to 53 yards. • CSU ranked 2nd in the Mountain West and 43rd nationally with 6.3 tackles for loss per game. A total of 22 players had a TFL in 2016, with 14 recording a sack – 11 of which had never done so prior to 2016. • CSU scored first in its final eight games, doing so on its first drive six times. Overall, the Rams outscored opponents 131-73 in the first quarter in 2016. • CSU had two of the top single-game yards-per-play averages in school history, averaging 11.1 vs. New Mexico (2nd) and 9.1 vs. Idaho (7th).

COACHES & STAFF
• CSU has now won four home openers in a row, and eight of nine dating back to 2008. • The Rams improved to 2-0 all-time against UTSA. • CSU held UTSA off the board in the second half, the first time that has happened since shutting out New Mexico in the second half on Sept. 3, 2011. In the second half, the Roadrunners were limited to 63 total yards over 33 plays. • CSU trailed for just 5:05, taking a 10-7 lead two-thirds of the way into the first quarter and leading for the remainder of the contest. • After not scoring until the second half of last week’s opener, and not recording a first down until nearly 5 minutes into the second quarter, CSU got off to a hot start Saturday by recording a first down on its second play from scrimmage and a field goal on its first drive. • CSU’s 3-0 lead was the Rams’ first lead of the season. • CSU did not turn the ball over, winning the turnover battle 1-0 thanks to a late Braylin Scott interception – the first of the sophomore DB’s career. • The Rams out-rushed the Roadrunners, 220 to -1. • The Rams’ 193 net rushing yards in the first half were the most since rushing for 209 in the first half vs. Tulsa (10/4/14). • Senior LB Kevin Davis had 3.0 sacks on the day, including a strip sack, six tackles, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. • Sophomore K Wyatt Bryan went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts. He has made 15 of his last 17 field-goal attempts dating back to Sept. 26, 2015. • Bryan’s 46-yard make with 2:24 remaining in the contest was a career long and gave the Rams a two-possession lead. • All-America punter Hayden Hunt had seven punts, averaging 46.7 yards per punt. He had two that went 50 yards (long of 59) and five that were downed inside the 20-yard line. • Junior WR Elroy Masters, Jr. led CSU with 67 receiving yards (three receptions), his first since Week 2 last season (Masters missed the majority of the 2015 season with a broken collarbone). • True freshman QB Collin Hill entered the game early in the fourth quarter, completing an 11-yard screen pass to WR Olabisi Johnson on his first pass attempt. • True freshmen DB Robert Awunganyi, QB Collin Hill and DL Arjay Jean made their collegiate debuts Saturday.

GAME 3 Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016 Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium Fort Collins, Colo. Attendance: 26,718
• CSU wore orange uniforms in honor of the school’s original colors of pumpkin and alfalfa. The Rams improved to 7-0 in Orange Out games. • CSU and Northern Colorado played for the first time since 2011. With the win, the Rams improved to 20-0-1 in the series. • Making his first career start, freshman QB Collin Hill was 21-of-27 for 315 yards and four touchdown passes - to four different receivers - plus a 51-yard touchdown run. • Hill’s 315 passing yards were the most by a CSU QB making his first career start. • CSU’s second score of the game came on a 51-yard keep up the middle by freshman QB Collin Hill. It was the longest rush by a CSU QB since Bradlee Van Pelt (79-yard touchdown run vs. Fresno State, Oct. 4, 2002). • Hill’s four touchdown passes are tied for the sixth-most in a single game in school history. They went to four different receivers, including the first career touchdown by WRs Michael Gallup and Robert Ruiz, and the second by WRs Olabisi Johnson and Elroy Masters, Jr. • CSU’s defense did not allow a point for four complete quarters (16 consecutive drives), dating back to the third quarter of last week’s win vs. UTSA and into the third quarter Saturday. • The last time CSU kept its opponents off the board for four consecutive quarters was in 2011 (second half vs. New Mexico, Sept. 3; first half vs. Northern Colorado, Sept. 10). • CSU’s offense, which entered the game ranked 123rd in FBS averaging 276.5 yards of offense per game, more than doubled their season average by posting 569 (324 passing, 245 rushing). • Wyatt Bryan connected on two field goals, including a 53-yard make as the first half expired.

COACHES & STAFF
• The loss snapped CSU’s three-game winning streak in true road contests. It was the Rams’ best stretch since 2002. Overall, CSU has still won 10 of its last 15 true road contests, its best since also doing so from 2001-03. • Sophomore DB Braylin Scott intercepted a pass in the final minute of the first half. He has now recorded an interception in three consecutive games. • Junior WR Michael Gallup had a career-most six catches for 53 yards and his second career touchdown. The score cut the Rams’ deficit to 7, 31-24, with 6:24 remaining. • Four different receivers had multiple catches, including three grabs for 40 yards – both career highs – by senior TE Danny Nwosu. • Two Rams defenders had double-digit tackles: Sophomore LB Josh Watson (career-most 12 tackles, 2.0 TFL) and senior DB Jake Schlager (10 tackles). • Junior DL Darnell Thompson had a sack, the first of his career. The seven-yard sack forced Minnesota to punt with 4:19 to play in the game, giving the Rams the ball back down just one possession. • CSU had 11 offensive plays go for more than 15 yards (7 pass, 4 rush). • The Rams were 3-for-3 inside the red zone, improving their season figure to 14-for-14. • CSU scored on its first three drives to open the second half. • CSU’s two turnovers resulted in 10 points for the Gophers. • CSU’s first score was a six-play, 75-yard drive – all carries – in just 2:10. Featured on the drive were three rushes of at least 18 yards, including Marvin Kinsey Jr.’s carry to the left side for his second touchdown in as many games. • Late in the first half, Minnesota had 1st-and-goal from the 2-yard line, but was limited to a field goal after three defensive stops (-8 yards). • After starting the second half with a solid defensive series, the Rams marched down the field for an eight-play score. All but four yards were on the ground, including the touchdown, a 2-yard rush by WR Detrich Clark, his first touchdown as a Ram. • The Rams got to within one score (41-yard field goal by K Wyatt Bryan), 24-17, late in the third quarter, behind a 16-play drive that lasted 6:18 – both season highs. • After Minnesota took a 14-7 lead with 8:59 remaining in the second quarter, CSU’s defense allowed just 44 total yards over the Gophers’ next four drives (28:47 in time). • Facing 4th-and-5 from the CSU 30-yard line, All-America punter Hayden Hunt faked a punt and converted a 29-yard pass to DB Braylin Scott. The play set up a touchdown six plays later, with QB Collin Hill finding WR Michael Gallup for 15 yards. 1 2 3 4 F 7 0 10 7 24 7 10 7 7 31

• Trailing 28-3 midway through the fourth quarter, Colorado State scored 20 unanswered points to cut the deficit to 28-23. The Rams would score three touchdowns in a span of 1:25, recovering two on-side kicks in the process. • After a fourth-down stop, CSU got the ball back with 15 seconds, trailing by 5. The Rams intended to run two plays, but were only able to get one off before the clock struck triple zeroes. On the play, QB Nick Stevens completed a five-yard pass to WR Michael Gallup, who tossed the ball back to WR Robert Ruiz. He advanced eight yards before attempting to pitch to Stevens. The ball went out of bounds with 4 seconds on the clock, setting up time for one final play, from the CSU 45-yard line. However, after two reviews, the officials called an illegal forward pass and a 10-second runoff, ending the game. • CSU scored on its opening drive of the game, becoming the first team to lead on Boise State this season. The Broncos began the season with an FBS-record (since 1996) 307:36 without trailing. The 10-play, 42-yard drive was capped with a 39-yard field goal by K Wyatt Bryan, his ninth make of the season. • The Broncos entered the game out-scoring opponents 63-14 in the first quarter, but trailed CSU, 3-0. They were averaging 26.4 first-half points and 36.8 points overall, before scoring just 7 and 28, respectively, vs. CSU. • Prior to Boise State’s touchdown with 27 seconds remaining in the first half, CSU’s defense had held opponents without a score on 14 consecutive drives (63:27). The streak dated back to the final 3:54 of the first half vs. Utah State (10/8). • On CSU’s second scoring drive, the Rams successfully converted three fourth-down conversions, including a 19-yard gain by QB Nick Stevens. The 17 plays were a season most, and used up 5:53 off the clock (second-longest). • It marked RB Izzy Matthews’ fourth touchdown of the season, and third in his last two games. • WR Michael Gallup’s 53-yard touchdown reception was the fourth-longest play of the season. Overall, Gallup has three of the Rams’ six longest plays. • The one-play, 12-second drive marked the shortest and quickest scoring drive of the season. • RB Dalyn Dawkins finished with 90 all-purpose yards, carrying the ball 14 times for 66 yards and catching five passes for 24 yards, including a touchdown. • Freshmen DL Richard King and Toby McBride each recorded a sack.

Colorado State posted its first shutout since Oct. 4, 1997 (63-0 win over Hawai`i), spanning 225 games. CSU out-gained Fresno State, 494-232 (season best by CSU defense), including 337-68 in the first half. CSU has won six home games in a row in the month of November. Fresno State didn’t record its initial first down until more than 18 minutes into the game. At that point, the Rams had already recorded 12 first downs. The Bulldogs didn’t cross midfield for the first time until midway through the third quarter. Junior WR Michael Gallup continues to emerge as the Rams’ top pass-catcher, catching a personal-best nine passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. The 126 receiving yards are the second-most of his career, and the second-highest of the season by a Ram. He is the only CSU player to reach 100 receiving yards in a game this season. QB Nick Stevens completed 19-of-24 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns. Stevens has completed 60 passes and attempted 90 since his last interception (both personal bests). The Rams did not turn the ball over for the third time in their past four games. They’ve won the turnover battle each of the past four contests. Senior CB Jordon Vaden, a converted wide receiver, recorded his first career interception, picking off Fresno State’s Zach Kline early in the fourth quarter. The Rams rushed for a season-most 254 yards. RBs Marvin Kinsey, Jr. (83 yards), Izzy Matthews (55) and Dalyn Dawkins (35) each carried the ball 10 times. Kinsey, Jr. gave CSU a 10-0 first-quarter lead with a five-yard touchdown to cap a four-play, 66-yard drive in just 1:17. Matthews has had multi-touchdown games in back-to-back contests, scoring on a pair of 1-yard rushes vs. Fresno State. He has a team-most eight touchdowns on the season, including seven in his last four games.

• The game marked the first time that CSU has ever had a 300-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and a 100-yard rusher in a game. • CSU’s 559 yards of total offense were a season most against an FBS opponent. The Rams out-gained Air Force, despite the Falcons’ 485 rushing yards. • CSU has scored at least 37 points in each of its last three games, averaging 41.67 points and 506.67 yards. • The 94 combined points were the most scored in the series, surpassing the 84 points scored in the 2000 meeting. • CSU and Air Force have split the past four meetings in the series, but CSU has yet to win at Falcon Stadium since 2002. • Junior WR Michael Gallup caught 13 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown. The 13 catches were the second-most in CSU history (Jeff Champine holds the record with 14 vs. New Mexico on Oct. 29, 1983), while the 213 receiving yards were the fifth-most, and highest total since David Anderson vs. BYU on Oct. 2, 2004. • Junior QB Nick Stevens had a career-high 374 passing yards – surpassing his previous high of 310 vs. Nevada in the 2015 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl. • RB Dalyn Dawkins reached the century mark with 102 rushing yards (7.3 average) and two touchdowns. It was the first multi-touchdown game of his career. • Dawkins’ first touchdown came just 1:01 into the contest, rushing to the right side for 61 yards – it was the longest play from scrimmage this season for the Rams. • Senior LB Kevin Davis, a nearby Fountain-Fort Carson High School graduate, had 15 tackles and two forced fumbles. • Junior DB Justin Sweet intercepted his first career pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown to give CSU a 24-14 lead. He also had six tackles and a breakup. The pick-six was CSU’s first since Shaquil Barrett did it vs. UNLV on Nov. 10, 2012. • Sophomore RB Izzy Matthews scored a first-quarter touchdown to give CSU a 14-7 advantage. • LB Tre Thomas had a career-most 13 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss.

2017 COLORADO STATE FOOTBALL
2016 Highlights • Colorado State won four of its final five regular-season contests to qualify for a bowl game for the fourth year in a row after a 3-4 start to the season. CSU is one of three Mountain West schools to play in a bowl game in each of the past four seasons. • WR Michael Gallup, P Hayden Hunt and OL Fred Zerblis were named to the All-Mountain West first team in December, joining second-team members Jake Bennett (OL) and Kevin Davis (LB) and honorable mention selections Nick Callender (OL), Nick Stevens (QB) and Paul Thurston (OL). • CSU went 5-1 at home in 2016, the final season at Hughes Stadium. The Rams closed the door on the 49-year-old stadium on Nov. 19 and will return to campus in 2017 at their new, on-campus stadium. • CSU’s season captains, voted on by their peers, were LB Kevin Davis, P Hayden Hunt, TE Nolan Peralta and OL Fred Zerblis. • 8 of CSU’s 11 regular-season FBS opponents competed in a bowl game. Overall, CSU’s 13 opponents combined for a 73-60 (.549) record, good for the 35th-toughest schedule in FBS. The Rams’ six losses came to teams with a combined mark of 56-24 (.700). • After starting three different quarterbacks through the first three games of the season, the Rams’ offense got into a rhythm midway through the year. Over the final six games, CSU averaged 47.8 points and 533.8 yards per game, figures which ranked 2nd and 4th, respectively, in all of FBS from Oct. 16 forward. Overall, the Rams ranked 28th in FBS in scoring offense and 30th in total offense; on Oct. 16, they ranked 96th and 75th in those two categories. • CSU posted six shutouts in a half in 2016, including an entire-game shutout vs. Fresno State (11/5), the Rams’ first since 1997. • CSU scored 53 of 56 times it reached the red zone (94.6%), a figure which ranked 4th in FBS and was the best in school history dating back to at least 2005. • In addition to blocking for the third-best offense in school history, the Rams’ offensive line surrendered just 13 sacks, a figure which ranked 8th in FBS. • A trio of CSU running backs rushed for more than 500 yards, with each crossing the 100-yard mark vs. New Mexico (11/19). In that contest, CSU totaled 412 rushing yards, the most in 15 seasons and the 8th-best mark in school history. Overall, CSU’s 2,831 net rushing yards and 5.3 yards-per-carry average rank fifth and second, respectively, in school history. • After turning the ball over 27 times in 2015, CSU made one of the largest jumped in FBS, giving up the ball just 12 times, including 7 interceptions. The 12 turnovers lost rank 17th (compared to 116th in 2015) and the 7 interceptions (13th in FBS) were a school record. • CSU had 27 players make their CSU debuts in 2016, including nine true freshmen. Among them were QB Collin Hill and RB Marvin Kinsey, Jr., who put up eye-opening numbers before their seasons ended early due to knee injuries. • CSU had 22 players make their first FBS starts in 2016 (T-8th in FBS). • The Rams’ defense limited two of the top rushing attacks in back-to-back weeks. New Mexico entered the Nov. 19 contest leading the nation with 347.8 rushing yards per game, but were out-rushed by the Rams by 127 yards. A week later, CSU stuffed Mountain West champion San Diego State and the NCAA’s all-time career rushing leader Donnel Pumphrey. Entering the game ranked second in FBS with 168.6 rushing yards per game, CSU held Pumphrey to 53 yards. • CSU ranked 2nd in the Mountain West and 43rd nationally with 6.3 tackles for loss per game. A total of 22 players had a TFL in 2016, with 14 recording a sack – 11 of which had never done so prior to 2016. • CSU scored first in its final eight games, doing so on its first drive six times. Overall, the Rams outscored opponents 131-73 in the first quarter in 2016. • CSU had two of the top single-game yards-per-play averages in school history, averaging 11.1 vs. New Mexico (2nd) and 9.1 vs. Idaho (7th).

COLORADO STATE 7
COLORADO 44
GAME 1 Friday, Sept. 2, 2016 Sports Authority Field at Mile High Denver, Colo. Attendance: 69,850
• Colorado State dropped its opening game for the first time since 2013. The Rams had previously won four of their past five openers dating back to 2011. • A total of 14 players made their CSU debuts on Friday, including three freshmen and 12 players making their Division I debuts. • CSU forced three fumbles in the game, recovering a pair. In the second quarter, Deshon Mayes forced a fumble recovered by Jake Schlager, and in the third Justin Sweet stripped the ball loose, recovered by Demontrie Taylor. Kevin Davis forced a fumble in the end zone in the first quarter, but CSU could not pounce on the loose ball, resulting in CU’s second score. • Both playing in their first game for CSU, QB Faton Bauta found WR Marcus Wilson for a 5-yard strike on fourth down on the first play of the fourth quarter.

• CSU has now won four home openers in a row, and eight of nine dating back to 2008. • The Rams improved to 2-0 all-time against UTSA. • CSU held UTSA off the board in the second half, the first time that has happened since shutting out New Mexico in the second half on Sept. 3, 2011. In the second half, the Roadrunners were limited to 63 total yards over 33 plays. • CSU trailed for just 5:05, taking a 10-7 lead two-thirds of the way into the first quarter and leading for the remainder of the contest. • After not scoring until the second half of last week’s opener, and not recording a first down until nearly 5 minutes into the second quarter, CSU got off to a hot start Saturday by recording a first down on its second play from scrimmage and a field goal on its first drive. • CSU’s 3-0 lead was the Rams’ first lead of the season. • CSU did not turn the ball over, winning the turnover battle 1-0 thanks to a late Braylin Scott interception – the first of the sophomore DB’s career. • The Rams out-rushed the Roadrunners, 220 to -1. • The Rams’ 193 net rushing yards in the first half were the most since rushing for 209 in the first half vs. Tulsa (10/4/14). • Senior LB Kevin Davis had 3.0 sacks on the day, including a strip sack, six tackles, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. • Sophomore K Wyatt Bryan went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts. He has made 15 of his last 17 field-goal attempts dating back to Sept. 26, 2015. • Bryan’s 46-yard make with 2:24 remaining in the contest was a career long and gave the Rams a two-possession lead. • All-America punter Hayden Hunt had seven punts, averaging 46.7 yards per punt. He had two that went 50 yards (long of 59) and five that were downed inside the 20-yard line. • Junior WR Elroy Masters, Jr. led CSU with 67 receiving yards (three receptions), his first since Week 2 last season (Masters missed the majority of the 2015 season with a broken collarbone). • True freshman QB Collin Hill entered the game early in the fourth quarter, completing an 11-yard screen pass to WR Olabisi Johnson on his first pass attempt. • True freshmen DB Robert Awunganyi, QB Collin Hill and DL Arjay Jean made their collegiate debuts Saturday.

• CSU wore orange uniforms in honor of the school’s original colors of pumpkin and alfalfa. The Rams improved to 7-0 in Orange Out games. • CSU and Northern Colorado played for the first time since 2011. With the win, the Rams improved to 20-0-1 in the series. • Making his first career start, freshman QB Collin Hill was 21-of-27 for 315 yards and four touchdown passes - to four different receivers - plus a 51-yard touchdown run. • Hill’s 315 passing yards were the most by a CSU QB making his first career start. • CSU’s second score of the game came on a 51-yard keep up the middle by freshman QB Collin Hill.

• The loss snapped CSU’s three-game winning streak in true road contests. It was the Rams’ best stretch since 2002. Overall, CSU has still won 10 of its last 15 true road contests, its best since also doing so from 2001-03. • Sophomore DB Braylin Scott intercepted a pass in the final minute of the first half. He has now recorded an interception in three consecutive games. • Junior WR Michael Gallup had a career-most six catches for 53 yards and his second career touchdown. The score cut the Rams’ deficit to 7, 31-24, with 6:24 remaining. • Four different receivers had multiple catches, including three grabs for 40 yards – both career highs – by senior TE Danny Nwosu. • Two Rams defenders had double-digit tackles: Sophomore LB Josh Watson (career-most 12 tackles, 2.0 TFL) and senior DB Jake Schlager (10 tackles). • Junior DL Darnell Thompson had a sack, the first of his career. The seven-yard sack forced Minnesota to punt with 4:19 to play in the game, giving the Rams the ball back down just one possession. • CSU had 11 offensive plays go for more than 15 yards (7 pass, 4 rush). • The Rams were 3-for-3 inside the red zone, improving their season figure to 14-for-14. • CSU scored on its first three drives to open the second half. • CSU’s two turnovers resulted in 10 points for the Gophers. • CSU’s first score was a six-play, 75-yard drive – all carries – in just 2:10. Featured on the drive were three rushes of at least 18 yards, including Marvin Kinsey Jr.’s carry to the left side for his second touchdown in as many games. • Late in the first half, Minnesota had 1st-and-goal from the 2-yard line, but was limited to a field goal after three defensive stops (-8 yards). • After starting the second half with a solid defensive series, the Rams marched down the field for an eight-play score. All but four yards were on the ground, including the touchdown, a 2-yard rush by WR Detrich Clark, his first touchdown as a Ram. • The Rams got to within one score (41-yard field goal by K Wyatt Bryan), 24-17, late in the third quarter, behind a 16-play drive that lasted 6:18 – both season highs. • After Minnesota took a 14-7 lead with 8:59 remaining in the second quarter, CSU’s defense allowed just 44 total yards over the Gophers’ next four drives (28:47 in time). • Facing 4th-and-5 from the CSU 30-yard line, All-America punter Hayden Hunt faked a punt and converted a 29-yard pass to DB Braylin Scott. The play set up a touchdown six plays later, with QB Collin Hill finding WR Michael Gallup for 15 yards. 1 2 3 4 F 7 0 10 7 24 7 10 7 7 31

• The sellout (33,500) was the Rams’ fifth in their last 13 home games. Prior to that stretch, CSU didn’t record a sellout in more than a decade. • The attendance was the 11th-largest in school history, and most since 2004. • The Rams had previously won the previous three Border War meetings, never trailing in the series from 2013-15. • Senior TE Nolan Peralta, who entered the game with eight career receptions, had three catches, including the first touchdown of his career. The nine-yard pass from QB Collin Hill capped a seven-play, 91-yard drive to give the Rams a 7-3 advantage. • Junior WR Detrich Clark displayed his speed early in the second quarter, rushing down the left sideline for 35 yards and his second touchdown in as many games. • The Rams’ third scoring drive came on the final play of the first half when K Wyatt Bryan connected on a 36-yard field goal. • It marked the fourth game in a row that Bryan has attempted a field goal on the final play of the first half. • Of CSU’s 14 touchdowns in 2016, 10 have been scored by players who entered the season with zero career touchdowns. • Freshman QB Collin Hill, making his third start, passed for a career-most 370 yards (23-of-41). • Senior TE Danny Nwosu, who entered the game with seven career receptions for 79 yards, had a team-most six catches for 68 yards, including three consecutive catches during a second-half drive. • Sophomore LB Josh Watson tied a career high with 12 tackles (team most), including a half sack. • Over the past three games, Watson is averaging 11.67 tackles per game. • CSU’s defense had 3.0 sacks (all in the first half) and 8.0 tackles for loss. • LB Tre Thomas’ second-quarter sack was the first of his career. • LBs Evan Colorito and Josh Watson teamed up to sack Wyoming QB Josh Allen on 3rd-and-goal from the 10-yard line.

COACHES & STAFF
• CSU scored 21 unanswered points, overcoming a 24-10 halftime deficit. • The Rams’ defense posted a second-half shutout, allowing 183 yards over the final two quarters. • CSU finished plus-2 for the turnover battle, earning two takeaways without giving up the ball. • After CSU cut the deficit to one score, 24-17, early in the third quarter, the Rams got the ball back on the Aggies’ first play from scrimmage. Senior DB Tyree Simmons knocked the ball loose, which was recovered by senior LB Kevin Davis. • The fumble recovery was the Rams’ first since the season opener vs. Colorado (9/2) and their first takeaway since a Braylin Scott interception at Minnesota (9/24). • Late in the fourth quarter, Davis sealed the win with an interception with 47 seconds remaining, allowing the Rams to line up in victory formation. • CSU was a perfect 4-for-4 in red-zone opportunities, improving its season average to 95.2 percent (20-of-21). • Junior QB Nick Stevens replaced freshman QB Collin Hill (knee) late in the third quarter. It was his first action since closing the game vs. Northern Colorado (9/17), and first significant action since starting the season opener vs. Colorado (9/2). • Stevens finished 3-of-7 for 37 yards, leading the Rams on two scoring drives. He had a 22-yard third-down completion to junior WR Michael Gallup during the Rams’ game-tying scoring drive – the drive Stevens took over for Hill during. • Junior WR Michael Gallup caught seven passes for 140 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown in which he displayed his speed to beat several defenders. • The 60-yard score was the Rams’ longest from scrimmage this season. It cut the Rams’ deficit to just one score, 24-17, just 2:38 into the second half. • Providing a nice 1-2 punch, RBs Dalyn Dawkins and Izzy Matthews combined for 198 rushing yards. • Dawkins carried 14 times for 125 yards (8.9 average), the second-highest total of his career. • Matthews rushed 23 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns. • The Rams’ defense posted four sacks, accounting for 38 lost yards.

• Trailing 28-3 midway through the fourth quarter, Colorado State scored 20 unanswered points to cut the deficit to 28-23. The Rams would score three touchdowns in a span of 1:25, recovering two on-side kicks in the process. • After a fourth-down stop, CSU got the ball back with 15 seconds, trailing by 5. The Rams intended to run two plays, but were only able to get one off before the clock struck triple zeroes. On the play, QB Nick Stevens completed a five-yard pass to WR Michael Gallup, who tossed the ball back to WR Robert Ruiz. He advanced eight yards before attempting to pitch to Stevens. The ball went out of bounds with 4 seconds on the clock, setting up time for one final play, from the CSU 45-yard line. However, after two reviews, the officials called an illegal forward pass and a 10-second runoff, ending the game. • CSU scored on its opening drive of the game, becoming the first team to lead on Boise State this season. The Broncos began the season with an FBS-record (since 1996) 307:36 without trailing. The 10-play, 42-yard drive was capped with a 39-yard field goal by K Wyatt Bryan, his ninth make of the season. • The Broncos entered the game out-scoring opponents 63-14 in the first quarter, but trailed CSU, 3-0. They were averaging 26.4 first-half points and 36.8 points overall, before scoring just 7 and 28, respectively, vs. CSU. • Prior to Boise State’s touchdown with 27 seconds remaining in the first half, CSU’s defense had held opponents without a score on 14 consecutive drives (63:27). The streak dated back to the final 3:54 of the first half vs. Utah State (10/8). • On CSU’s second scoring drive, the Rams successfully converted three fourth-down conversions, including a 19-yard gain by QB Nick Stevens. The 17 plays were a season most, and used up 5:53 off the clock (second-longest). • It marked RB Izzy Matthews’ fourth touchdown of the season, and third in his last two games. • WR Michael Gallup’s 53-yard touchdown reception was the fourth-longest play of the season. Overall, Gallup has three of the Rams’ six longest plays. • The one-play, 12-second drive marked the shortest and quickest scoring drive of the season. • RB Dalyn Dawkins finished with 90 all-purpose yards, carrying the ball 14 times for 66 yards and catching five passes for 24 yards, including a touchdown. • Freshmen DL Richard King and Toby McBride each recorded a sack.

Colorado State posted its first shutout since Oct. 4, 1997 (63-0 win over Hawai`i), spanning 225 games. CSU out-gained Fresno State, 494-232 (season best by CSU defense), including 337-68 in the first half. CSU has won six home games in a row in the month of November. Fresno State didn’t record its initial first down until more than 18 minutes into the game. At that point, the Rams had already recorded 12 first downs. The Bulldogs didn’t cross midfield for the first time until midway through the third quarter. Junior WR Michael Gallup continues to emerge as the Rams’ top pass-catcher, catching a personal-best nine passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. The 126 receiving yards are the second-most of his career, and the second-highest of the season by a Ram. He is the only CSU player to reach 100 receiving yards in a game this season. QB Nick Stevens completed 19-of-24 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns. Stevens has completed 60 passes and attempted 90 since his last interception (both personal bests). The Rams did not turn the ball over for the third time in their past four games. They’ve won the turnover battle each of the past four contests. Senior CB Jordon Vaden, a converted wide receiver, recorded his first career interception, picking off Fresno State’s Zach Kline early in the fourth quarter. The Rams rushed for a season-most 254 yards. RBs Marvin Kinsey, Jr. (83 yards), Izzy Matthews (55) and Dalyn Dawkins (35) each carried the ball 10 times. Kinsey, Jr. gave CSU a 10-0 first-quarter lead with a five-yard touchdown to cap a four-play, 66-yard drive in just 1:17. Matthews has had multi-touchdown games in back-to-back contests, scoring on a pair of 1-yard rushes vs. Fresno State. He has a team-most eight touchdowns on the season, including seven in his last four games.

COACHES & STAFF
• The game marked the first time that CSU has ever had a 300-yard passer, 200-yard receiver and a 100-yard rusher in a game. • CSU’s 559 yards of total offense were a season most against an FBS opponent. The Rams out-gained Air Force, despite the Falcons’ 485 rushing yards. • CSU has scored at least 37 points in each of its last three games, averaging 41.67 points and 506.67 yards. • The 94 combined points were the most scored in the series, surpassing the 84 points scored in the 2000 meeting. • CSU and Air Force have split the past four meetings in the series, but CSU has yet to win at Falcon Stadium since 2002. • Junior WR Michael Gallup caught 13 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown. The 13 catches were the second-most in CSU history (Jeff Champine holds the record with 14 vs. New Mexico on Oct. 29, 1983), while the 213 receiving yards were the fifth-most, and highest total since David Anderson vs. BYU on Oct. 2, 2004. • Junior QB Nick Stevens had a career-high 374 passing yards – surpassing his previous high of 310 vs. Nevada in the 2015 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl. • RB Dalyn Dawkins reached the century mark with 102 rushing yards (7.3 average) and two touchdowns. It was the first multi-touchdown game of his career. • Dawkins’ first touchdown came just 1:01 into the contest, rushing to the right side for 61 yards – it was the longest play from scrimmage this season for the Rams. • Senior LB Kevin Davis, a nearby Fountain-Fort Carson High School graduate, had 15 tackles and two forced fumbles. • Junior DB Justin Sweet intercepted his first career pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown to give CSU a 24-14 lead. He also had six tackles and a breakup. The pick-six was CSU’s first since Shaquil Barrett did it vs. UNLV on Nov. 10, 2012. • Sophomore RB Izzy Matthews scored a first-quarter touchdown to give CSU a 14-7 advantage. • LB Tre Thomas had a career-most 13 tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss. Josh Watson was also in double figures (11), while Evan Colorito finished with a personal-best nine (including 2.0 tackles for loss), plus his first career fumble recovery. • CSU scored on its first three drives. Over the past three games, CSU has had early success, scoring on five of its first six drives at UNLV (10/22) and six of its first seven vs. Fresno State (11/5).
