Despite a Nick Stevens-to-Olabisi Johnson touchdown on the final play to give the offense a 43-40 victory, it was Colorado State’s defense that came to play during Saturday afternoon’s Green and Gold Spring Game at Lagoon Field.
Mike Bobo raved about the play of his first-team defense in a scrimmage that used modified scoring.
“I’m really proud of the No. 1 defense,” Bobo said, referencing the three interceptions of Nick Stevens. “Those were their first turnovers in any live situation. They contested well and guys made some tough catches.”
Jake Schlager got the defense going with a red zone interception of Stevens early in the first quarter.
