Football is won in the trenches, on the line of scrimmage, in the muck, where the warriors go to battle on every snap.
It’s a brutal game not for the faint of heart, won by beating the opponent into submission and once his will is broken, outscoring him on the big board.
For Colorado State today, a true test presents itself with the Minnesota Golden Gophers coming to town. Minnesota, of the Big 10, represents their conference well as a physically dominating team.
A victory over the Golden Gophers would be massive for first-year head coach Mike Bobo and his Rams, many of whom understand the importance of winning early and often if they want to be champions.
