Close but no cigar.
The Colorado State Rams football team gave it all they had Saturday when the Minnesota Golden Gophers came to Fort Collins, but still came up short in the end.
Backup quarterback Coleman Key led the Rams on a 55-second game-tying drive to send the game into overtime but Dalyn Dawkins drop turned into an interception and Minnesota won the game 23-20 on an 18-yard field goal.
