If you’re a Colorado State fan, you had to love the way that the Rams came out and absolutely dominated from the beginning of this game. On their first possession, they marched down the field and Nick Stevens connected with tight end Nolan Peralta on a 19 yard touchdown pass.
On their next position, the junior quarterback ran for a 14 yard touchdown. Stevens would finish the game with two passing and two rushing touchdowns, effectively going from pariah and benched starter earlier in the season to star of the game. Of course, the irony in all of this is that Stevens wouldn’t have even played if not for the gruesome season-ending knee injury to freshman quarterback Collin Hill just last week.
