The CSU Army ROTC cannon started Senior Night off with a bang, and the Rams’ seniors kept up the noise.
Colorado State (5-5, 3-3 Mountain West) gave its 26 seniors one last hoorah at home, sending them off with a 49-35 win over UNLV (3-7, 2-4 MW) Saturday night.
The seniors made their presence known early in this one. Senior tight end Steven Walker hauled in a pass from Nick Stevens on the first offensive play for the Rams and rumbled down the field for a 69-yard gain. Walker’s catch and run helped set up a Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins touchdown catch two plays later to give the Rams an early 7-0 lead.
