It wasn’t even one of the worst-kept secrets in recent Colorado State football history.
That’s only because it never really was a secret at all.
As expected, junior Nick Stevens was the Rams’ starting quarterback in the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado on Friday.
The gamesmanship involved in CSU not disclosing the choice — Rams coach Mike Bobo justified it as giving CU defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt a little extra video work in researching senior Faton Bauta and freshman Collin Hill — turned out to be irrelevant.
Falling behind 14-0 in the first 7:22 and 21-0 after one quarter, CSU never was in this one.
