FORT COLLINS — The checklist was almost complete.
Colorado State was physical on both fronts, able to run the ball and stop it, as well. Offensively, the Rams were able to play with tempo, at least in the first half of Saturday's 26-7 win over Wyoming, until coach Mike Bobo applied the breaks himself.
By design, it was nearly the way Bobo envisioned his teams would play. There's still more to it, but it was a sign of progress.
"Stop the run, be physical, impose our will, let them know we're at the ball park," Bobo said of the way it looked.
