CSU’s season opener Saturday at Hughes Stadium against the Savannah State Tigers officially marks the beginning of the Mike Bobo era for Colorado State.
Not only is the game a chance for the new head coach to start off on the right foot, it could also be the 500th win in program history, dating all the way back to CSU’s first ever win on Jan. 28, 1893.
A victory over the Tigers would also mark the fourth time in the past five seasons that the Rams have started off with a win. The Tigers, on the other hand, went 0-12 last season and enter Saturday’s matchup on a 23-game losing streak.
