Mountain West: Back loaded
Colorado State's defense will face five of the top six returning running backs in the Mountain West, thanks to the Rams' crossover games. Here's how they fared against those backs in 2015 in the order they face them in 2016.
Brian Hill, Wyoming — He gained just 65 yards on 21 carries, as it was the CSU running game that took center stage with 228 yards on 55 totes.
Davante Mayes, Utah State — He had 60 yards on 10 carries, and he wasn't the Aggies starter at this point.
