The Mike Bobo era at Colorado State got off to a good start Saturday. The Rams defeated Savannah State 65-13. Despite 5 turnovers, Colorado State looked dominant. Of course, Savannah State was 0-12 last year so we’ll see how good the Rams actually are when they play Minnesota. The game featured some big plays particularly by Rams quarterback Nick Stevens who tossed 5 touchdowns. Colorado State football looks to be competitive again this year and should be one of the best teams in the Mountain West.
