Colorado State running back Izzy Matthews ready to build off first season

FORT COLLINS — Izzy Matthews has no complaints. By no means does it mean he's satisfied.

Far from it, really. The Colorado State back lived up to his reputation as a physical runner a season ago, rushing for 590 yards as a true freshman. His first taste of the college game came in the opener against an out-manned Savannah State team, then it was three more games before he saw another carry.

It was four more weeks before the Redding, Calif., product became a regular part of the Rams' running back rotation as both Dalyn Dawkins and Jasen Oden were sidelined at times with injuries.
