Colorado State defense getting set for a rush of running teams

Michael Brian / Loveland Reporter-Herald)

FORT COLLINS — The way Mike Bobo sees it, it's time to man up.

Colorado State's defense has had moments on both sides of the scale, but when it comes to teams running the ball, most of them have been tipped in the opposition's favor. The Rams are giving up just shy of 190 yards per game on the ground, a figure that ranks eighth in the conference and 89th nationally.

In the final month of the season, the CSU defense will be asked to corral the top three rushing offenses in the conference, all of which — New Mexico, Air Force and San Diego State — rank in the top 15 in the country.
