Heading into Mountain West Conference play, the Colorado State Rams are 2-2. Not perfect, but it’ll do in Mike Bobo’s first year of head coaching.
The phase of the game which is really excelling under Bobo has been the Rams running game, backed by Dalyn Dawkins, Jasen Oden and a sprinkle of freshman Izzy Matthews. Dawkins, who’s been the starting back since Week 1, went through some hamstring tightness near the end of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. The redshirt sophomore transfer from Purdue sat out of last Saturday’s win over the University of Texas San Antonio Roadrunners, giving Jasen Oden the chance to take center stage.
