Defeated by penalties, Colorado State quarterback Nick Stevens played better against CU than stats show

Colorado State quarterback Nick Stevens entered Friday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown having thrown multiple touchdowns in his last eight career games. The streak ended against the University of Colorado, but that doesn’t mean Stevens wasn’t sharp.

Penalties doomed the senior, who had two touchdown passes called back on the same drive in the third quarter at Sports Authority Field. The first one was negated by offensive pass interference (wide receiver Detrich Clark), and the second one by illegal hands to the face (offensive lineman Jeff Taylor).

Rams coach Mike Bobo didn’t agree with either call — and others.
