Colorado State heads to Laramie, Wyoming to face the Wyoming Cowboys in the Border War. CSU is coming off a loss to the Air Force Falcons in a blizzard.

Wyoming is led by Craig Bohl in his tenth season in charge. Andrew Peasley is the man under center. Harrison Waylee is the Cowboys leading rusher and Wyatt Wieland is the Cowboys leading receiver. The Wyoming defense is led by LB Easton Gibbs and DB Wyett Ekeler.

Now onto some keys to victory for the Rams.

Three Keys to a colorado state victory

1. Everyone Needs to Step Up

We saw Hidetora Hanada gets his first action of the year. Nuer Gatkuoth was the Rams leading tackler against Air Force. And Justus Ross-Simmons was the Rams leading receiver last week. All three stepped up when called upon. Ross got a deep shot early. Hanada was asked to use his Sumo skills. And Gatkuoth was asked to play out of position.

The Rams will be potentially be missing a few starters and others need to step up the way these three did last week. Two weren’t completely unexpected, but if the Rams are missing starters others need to be ready to take their place. They don’t have to be perfect, but they need to make the Cowboys respect them.

2. Complete 60 minute game

The weather definitely played an impact, but the Rams once again failed to play a complete game. They went into halftime tied 13-13 with the Falcons and couldn’t take advantage in the second half. This has become the story of the year for the Rams and now they have to change it.

The Rams haven’t been on the same page in all three phases of the game in any game this season. If they want the Bronze Boot to come back home, they’ll need to make sure everyone does their job until the clock hits zeroes.

3. Take Your Shots

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi played in his first snow game ever and it become clear that the weather was having an impact. He started sailing throws in the second half and looking at his hand. Some of those throws were shots that would’ve put the Rams in good position.

This week, Fowler-Nicolosi needs to put that behind him and just play the game in front of him. With Tory Horton a game-time decision, other receivers need to be ready when their number is called. The Rams can take shots because they trust their receivers and those receivers need to repay that trust.

what will happen

It’s Border War time! No one knows what’s really going to happen in these game. Last year was a one score game and this year could be similar. The Cowboys have been up and down this year and Wyoming will be up for this game. It’s going to be a knockdown, drag-out type of game, but the Rams come out on top.

Final Score: Colorado State 24, Wyoming 20
