The Colorado State Rams have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Utah State Aggies and are hoping to record their first win since Oct. 7 of 2017. The Rams and Utah State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Canvas Stadium. Allowing an average of 35.6 points per game, Colorado State has been asleep on the defensive side of the ball and will need to wake up before the game.
Colorado State came out on top in a nail-biter against the Nevada Wolf Pack last week, sneaking past 17-14. Among those leading the charge for Colorado State was RB Avery Morrow, who picked up 169 yards on the ground on 24 carries.
Meanwhile, Utah State beat the Air Force Falcons 34-27 last week. Utah State QB Cooper Legas was slinging it as he passed for two TDs and 215 yards on 23 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 66 yards.
The Rams are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last Friday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Colorado State was close but no cigar when the two teams previously met in October of last year as they fell 26-24 to the Aggies. Maybe Colorado State will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
