Colorado State football defense ready for round two

FORT COLLINS — Try, try again.

Colorado State's defense has no other choice, because Option B — New Mexico — is set to come to Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium on Saturday (8:21 p.m.; ESPN2). The first time around — Air Force — didn't go so well, 485 rushing yards later in a 49-46 loss.

What the Lobos (7-3, 5-1 Mountain West) saw on tape they must have liked, as a young Ram defense struggled to contain on the perimeter as Tim McVey ran for 184 yards and four touchdowns, or the quarterback, with Arion Worthman rushing for 143 more and a score.
