FORT COLLINS — Guess it doesn't matter where it plays, Colorado State's offense is explosive.
As the university celebrated the return of football back on campus for the first time since 1967 — and 37,583 showed up for the party — the Rams were still stuck in yesteryear when it came to moving the ball.
That's a good thing, and a 51-27 victory over Oregon State is proof positive the Rams still have plenty of tools on offense. After a rough first half, the defense is showing it may be developing some too.
A 24-20 score at halftime left no reason to believe the afternoon would be filled with nothing but fireworks, but the Rams slowed down the Beavers' running game, picked off quarterback Jake Luton twice in the third stanza and allowed no points in the quarter.
