Colorado State hosted Middle Tennessee State yesterday in football. It was supposed to be an easy win for CSU in coach Jay Norvell’s home debut but ended up turning into a loss. MTSU jumped out to a 34-0 lead in the third. The Rams stormed back and pushed the ball all the way down to the Blue Raider’s 10 down 34-19. But a block below the waist derailed their momentum and CSU then missed a field goal. All in all it was an entertaining game.
