Steps continue to be taken in Fort Collins as Colorado State ramps up its football program. It was announced Thursday that CSU and Arizona agreed to a home-and-home series that begins in 2027.
The Rams host the Wildcats on Sep. 4 of that season and travel to Tuscon on Sep. 2, 2028. The teams have yet to meet since a 23rd-ranked CSU knocked off 6th-ranked Arizona in 1994. That game proved to be a difference-maker in what remains the best season in school history as the Rams finished 10-2 and with a final AP ranking of 16th.
Head coach Mike Bobo and athletic director Joe Parker are looking to build traction as a football program and university when the team moves into a new on-campus football stadium later this summer.
