FORT COLLINS — There were eight Wyoming defenders in the box, but Colorado State football coach Mike Bobo liked the look.
Down 3-0 in the second quarter and facing third-and-3 with the team already in field goal range, he called for a sweep to the right with Izzy Matthews, a back who was coming off a pair of 100-yard efforts in the past three weeks, but also a runner who is not the swiftest on the team, one who Bobo admitted was dinged up heading into the contest.
The play went for a 7-yard loss, and at the point, the Rams had negative-12 yards rushing.
