Rams survive strange start, beat Utah Tech 41-20 on Ag Day

It wasn’t as smooth as the Rams planned it to be, with two lightning delays and turnovers halting their early momentum, but they got the job done. The passing game is reaching new heights every week, and the defense flipped the switch in the second half to snuff out any chance of an improbable upset. Jay Norvell and Colorado State are .500 going into conference play, and there’s no reason that win percentage can’t keep rising.
