Red-zone failures loom large in CSU’s 28-23 loss to Nevada

By all accounts, Colorado State should have won Tuesday night.

The Rams outgained Nevada 532-345, totaled 30 first downs compared to Nevada’s 18 and Nick Stevens threw for 310 yards, without throwing a single interception. After the Rams’ initial offensive struggles, they moved the ball with ease against a Nevada defense that seemed to wear down as the game went on.
