FORT COLLINS – It didn’t take long for Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo to try getting a much-needed spark ahead of their week 2 home opener against UTSA.
Bobo announced at his Monday press conference that he would start Faton Bauta, who completed six of nine passes for 32 yards against the University of Colorado. Bauta also scrambled for 39 yards, giving the Rams offense more of a dual-threat quarterback than last year’s starter Nick Stevens.
“He gave us a little bit more energy, with the ability to make plays with his legs,” said Bobo, admitting that much of Bauta’s success came when the game was well out of hand.
