"That's something we're going to have to do if we want to win ball games is run the ball and play defense," Colorado State football coach Mike Bobo late Saturday night. "That's what teams have to do. That's been since day one of when football was invented."
Both aspects played a crucial role as the Rams avoided what would have been the most disrupting loss of the season on the road at San Jose State. CSU (2-4 overall, 1-1 Mountain West) flew out to a 28-0 lead as a pass rush and a run game developed in the first half.
