CSU-SDSU: CSU Loses Fifth Straight To SDSU 42-28

The Colorado State Rams (3-5, 0-4 MWC) came ready to play Saturday against the San Diego State Aztecs (3-4, 1-2 MWC) on a sunny but windy day in Fort Collins. And CSU started strong, jumping out to a 21-7 lead at half, but were outscored 21-7 in the second half and ultimately lost their fifth straight game 42-28.

The Rams first score was put in by running back John Mosure as he capped off a short drive with an electrifying run to the left, and the exclamation was a leap into three Aztecs as he reached the ball over the plane of the goal line. CSU was up 7-0 with 6:34 left in the first quarter.

On the next drive, after CSU forced a three and out, Michael Kawulok was injured on a hard block to his leg. He couldn’t put any weight on the leg and it was a big blow since the linebacking corps for the Rams is hurt by injuries and missing Ricky Brewer who was suspended by the team.

The next CSU drive showcased Grant Stucker’s arm. On one play, Stucker forced a ball into Rashaun Greer , who was surrounded by three SDSU defensive backs. A few plays later, on a third and seven, Stucker tossed a beautiful ball to Tyson Liggett who had to make a one-handed reception. After making the catch, Liggett quickly turned up the field and streaked to the end zone. CSU led 14-0 with 3:48 remaining in the first quarter.
