WHO GETS THE EDGE?
When the Broncos run the ball ...
Even as teams have focused on slowing down the rushing attack, the Broncos have gained at least 140 yards on the ground during each of their five consecutive wins. They’ve had at least 34 rushing attempts in each of those games, showing a commitment to starting with the run.
The Rams have been decent against the run when facing traditional offenses, allowing 127.6 yards per game against them but 365.5 against option-based New Mexico and Air Force. Colorado State’s 4.75 yards per carry allowed is 99th in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
