CSU football has to pump breaks on Utah State offense

Mike Brohard / Loveland Reporter-Herald)

FORT COLLINS — Utah State's offense has gone big and fast this season.

Big, as in the number of explosive plays they've hit, ranking among the nation's leaders in plays of 10-, 20- and 30-yards or longer. Big as in point totals, leading the nation at 51.3 points per game. It's allowed the Aggies to produce fast, with 22 scoring drives taking less than a minute.

Exhibit A is Utah State is sixth in the nation with 35 plays of 35 yards or longer.

That plays right into a Colorado State defense that ranks 100th or lower in the nation in allowing chunk plays to offenses.
