FORT COLLINS — The schedule maker may very well have given Colorado State's football team a break. Possibly two.

In putting Air Force and New Mexico on the Rams' schedule in consecutive weeks, the defense gets a chance to stay in the same frame of mind against a difficult task for a longer period of time. Add to it CSU had a bye week two weeks ago — giving them 45 minutes (15 minutes in each of the three practices that week) to use as pre-preparation — the novelty of the offense might be less novel.
