FORT COLLINS — As Mike Bobo recalled the play in his mind, it was a picture of Rashad Ajayi hanging on for dear life.

Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks isn't a small person, but Ajayi got to him on the corner blitz on Saturday. Franks didn't go immediately down — it took some work — but it still counts as the Colorado State corner's first career sack.

Such is the existence for a true freshman in college football, that feeling of holding on by a thread at times. That just hasn't been the case for Ajayi, or for classmate Devin Phillips, both of whom have started every game this season for the Rams.
