Nice to see the defense step up and say enough is enough.
We have some grown men on that DL. They are going to keep us in some games and maybe even help us win some games that we would normally lose.
This team has some real potential to push for 7-8 games if the offense continues to improve.
I said before the season started that going 1-1 in these opening 2 games is key.
It wasn't pretty, but we are 1-1. Gotta take care of business against an underrated Tn St. team at home then go roll the dice down in Miami.

Both my parents went to CSU, so this was a fun family game (PUMPED for the rams in Murf). I fully expected to lose this game but I love it. This one was special for me, if nothing else.
There are no bad wins. The staff either did a heckuva job getting their point across this week or CSU is even worse than we thought.
TSU won’t lay down.
I agree. We better be ready to play or they will leave Floyd stadium with a W.
FCS programs have closed the gap significantly with the lower FBS schools IMO. Look no further than the current scores across the country if you need evidence.
I think this team and program feeds off the doubt and hate.
I don't think I've ever seen a Stockstill team play well when they are expected to play well.
So with that being said, I still think we suck and we will probably lose to TSU @ home next week.

We are back baby! Tell your friends, coworkers, neighbors, pack the iron skillet and support these athletes!
was kinda cool to see the other teams qb puking on the stream after getting lit up. Fun game that’s what’s gets butts in the seats.

I actually was there and it was pretty dumb on their part imo. They had the Tennessee vs Pitt on all the other tvs but there were more MT fans there watching the one tv (good size one though).

I'd love to be in the Funbelt but man, we would get our tails wiped across the floor.
That front 7 is nasty. I watched most of the game and I think they ran out of gas a little bit, but for the most part were dominant.
That's kind of the m.o. of Stocks teams though. There's always one bright spot unit on the field. I saw nothing out of the offense that leads me to believe that it's a competent G5 level offensive line and that's going to cost us.

I saw a really bad Co State team that was getting manhandled. Would like to see the D keep improving. Offense is tough to watch.
I remember back to UNT when their D superseded their O in sunbelt 1.0. -- If our D continues to improve, a mediocre O can get us where we need to be….for at least this year. Beggars can’t be choosy.

Rams comeback efforts ‘too little, too late’ in loss to Middle Tennessee
The Colorado State University Rams football team held their home opener against the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders Saturday afternoon. The Rams, down 34-0 at one point, mounted a comeback effort, but still lost 34-19. The game got off to a slow start following a cool, rainy...

Honestly I’m kinda happy with CUSA (with the exception of geography and I would bolt to the SBC if offered). We really need to focus on winning and improving facilities. How weak the bottom of CUSA 4.0 is should help us win a lot of games. Those teams that won yesterday won because of deep history of winning. It makes it way easier to recruit when you’re winning a lot of games. Regardless of who you beat recruits want to go where they can win. App made massive strides by beating up on a weak SBC for a while.
Going to be blunt with you. You’re wrong in your assessment about App and the parallels here. That’s not where, when, or how they made strides.
For me a successful program, especially G-5 programs must have a strong administration. This means from president down. President must have guts to hold athletic director accountable, who holds coaches, who hold players. I will tip my cap to sunbelt on this for football, not so much basketball. They know football is the true moneymaker & they want college presidents who push this belief.
Maybe I should have clarified. App was built in the SoCon and had probably the biggest upset in college football history that vaulted them to bigger things. I grew up with plenty of App fans in my family and a lot of friends attending the school. Playing in a watered down SBC and beating up on that competition has helped their transition. I fully expect Liberty to do exactly the same thing in CUSA. Kudos to them but winning is what recruits want. There’s a reason App out recruits numerous P5 schools. A lot of fringe P5 players will end up at G5 schools that win. Our problem is we aren’t a G5 school that wins.

Regardless of the weak opponent and how I feel about the body of work for this HC and his staff, I won’t poo-poo a win out of respect for the Blue Raider players who got it done. That said, I still think it’s gonna be a long rough season for them.
We were in the fun belt upsetting Jay Cutler, Maryland and GT before any of those teams were in and we all wanted out of there. I regret ever leaving.
