Colorado State names Faton Bauta starting quarterback

Head coach Mike Bobo is naming the Georgia transfer the starter for Colorado State.

The Colorado State quarterback situation has been in flux since spring football with a battle between graduate transfer Faton Bauta from Georgia, 2015 starter Nick Stevens and freshman Collin Hill.

Stevens earned the start against rival Colorado but played poorly by completing just 6 of 20 passes for 31 yards and a pair of interceptions.

Head coach Mike Bobo said over the weekend that there would be a another look at the quarterback situation:

“We’ve got to reassess the quarterback situation,” “… We’ve got to be able to throw the ball more than we did tonight at a higher percentage.
