Bowl
Colorado State 40 ... Fresno State 35
Colorado State tore off 619 yards of total offense highlighted by a
69-yard touchdown catch from Rashaun Greer with seven minutes left in
the game for a 33-28 lead, and Gartrell Johnson put it away with a
77-yard scoring dash. Fresno State got two, two-yard touchdown runs from
Anthony Harding and scoring dashes from one and 69 yards out from Lonyae
Miller, but the defense couldn't hold down the Ram offense in the second
half. CSU went on a 20-0 run for the late lead, but the Bulldogs were
able to come up with a 44-second scoring drive after the the final
Johnson scoring dash with Ryan Skidmore catching a seven-yard touchdown
pass with less than a minute to play. CSU backup RB Kyle Bell recovered
the onside kick to seal the Ram win.
Player of the game:
Colorado State RB Gartrell Johnson ran 27
times for 285 yards and two touchdowns, and he led the team in receiving
with five catches for 90 yards.

Nov. 22
Colorado State
31 … Wyoming 20
Colorado State became bowl eligible as Dion Morton caught a 31-yard
touchdown pass and Gartrell Johnson caught a five-yard scoring grab.
Morton also scored from 51 and 43 yards out as part of his 160-yard day.
Wyoming got a halfback option touchdown pass from Wynel Seldon to Chris
Sundberg in the first quarter and a Ward Dobbs interception return for a
touchdown in the second, but it only managed two Nick Landess field
goals the rest of the way. Each team turned the ball over three times.
Player of the game:
Colorado State WR Dion Morton made six catches
for 160 yards and three touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Wyoming - Passing: Chris Stutzriem,
21-39, 201 yds
Rushing: Wynel Seldon, 19-107. Receiving: Jesson Salyards,

yds, 3 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 23-135, 1 TD. Receiving: Dion
Morton, 6-160, 3 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado
State got the turnaround season it was looking for under Steve Fairchild
with six wins and a possible bowl game to come. The goal this season was
to become a running team, but the passing game was what worked when push
came to shove, as Dion Morton came through with a monster game with his
three touchdown catches to beat Wyoming. CSU didn’t beat anyone big, but
it didn’t lose any games it shouldn’t. This has been a great step
forward.
Nov. 15
Colorado State 20 …
New Mexico 6
Gartrell Johnson ran for a 12-yard score and Dion Morton took a pass six yards
for a third quarter touchdown as Colorado State easily got by New Mexico. The
Lobos moved the ball but stalled on drive after drive only getting two James Aho
field goals. Johnson went over the 1,000-yard mark for the Rams with his
127-yard performance.
Player of the game:
Colorado State RB Gartrell Johnson ran 30 times for
127 yards and a touchdown, and he caught three passes for 47 yards
Stat Leaders: New Mexico - Passing: Brad Gruner, 23-39, 204
yds
Rushing: Rodney Ferguson, 14-85. Receiving: Bryant Williams, 5-54
Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris, 16-27, 237 yds, 1
TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 30-127, 1 TD. Receiving: Rashaun Greer,
6-71
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The Rams are still
alive for bowl eligibility needing to get by lowly Wyoming in Laramie next week
for the sixth win. Under Steve Fairchild, CSU is getting a more physical ground
game, helped by Gartrell Johnson’s 1,000-yard season, while the defense has been
far, far tighter in key situations. It’s not a brick wall of a D, but it came
through against New Mexico and it should be able to keep the Cowboy running game
in check. The team needs to win the time of possession battle, and it did that
holding on to the ball for close to 36 minutes against UNM.
Nov. 8
Air Force 38 … Colorado
State 17
Air Force won on the big play both through the air and on the ground as Asher
Clark ran for a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter, a 45-yard touchdown in
the third, and Kyle Halderman took a pass 74 yards for a score. Colorado State
stayed alive with a four-yard Dion Morton touchdown run in the second quarter,
but that would be the last touchdown with Air Force going on a 24-3 run the rest
of the way.
Player of the game:
Air Force RB Asher Clark ran 16 times for 136 yards
and two touchdowns.
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris,
19-36, 251 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 19-81, 1 TD. Receiving: Rashaun Greer,
7-145
Air Force - Passing: Tim Jefferson, 6-8, 171 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: Asher Clark, 16-136, 2 TD. Receiving: Kyle Halderman,
2-99, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado State
didn’t get enough out of the running game to counteract all the Air Force big
plays and the 284 yards of Falcon rushing production. Billy Farris threw well,
but he didn’t keep the passing game going well enough to generate points in the
second half. Now the Rams have to beat both New Mexico and Wyoming to not only
be bowl eligible, but to turn around a rough second half of the season losing
five of the last six games.
Nov. 1
BYU 45 …
Colorado State 42
In a fantastic shootout, BYU rallied back with a 17-yard Dennis Pitta
touchdown catch with 22 seconds to play just 1:22 after a 55-yard Dion
Morton touchdown catch that gave Colorado State a late lead. The two
teams traded big shots all game long with Pitta scoring from 23 yards
out in the fourth quarter and Austin Collie catching touchdown passes
from 58, 15 and 10 yards away. Colorado State kept up the pace
highlighted by a 32-yard Morton touchdown catch in the second and a
Gartrell Johnson seven-yard run in the fourth, but Max Hall and the BYU
offense proved to be too much. The Cougars put up 551 yards of total
offense to Colorado State’s 401.
Player of the game:
BYU QB Max Hall completed 28-of-35 passes for
389 yards and five touchdowns with an interception
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Billy
Farris, 18-35, 251 yds, 3 TD
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 18-102, 1 TD. Receiving: Dion
Morton, 6-129, 2 TD
BYU - Passing: Max Hall, 28-35, 389 yds, 5 TD, 1
INT
Rushing: Harvey Unga, 24-133, 1 TD. Receiving: Dennis
Pitta, 12-175, 2 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado
State might have lost to BYU, but it proved it could go toe-to-toe with
one of the nation’s better teams. Billy Farris was efficient and
effective, while Gartrell Johnson provided a good balance on the ground.
The defense couldn’t do anything to slow down Max Hall and the Cougar
skill players, but few teams can. A bowl game is still a possibility
needing to win two of the final three games. Beating Air Force next week
would be a big boost after a heartbreaking loss like this one.
Oct. 25
Colorado State 38 … San
Diego State 34
Billy Farris and Kory Sperry hooked up three times on touchdown passes from 20,
six and nine yards out with the last one breaking a 31-31 tie early in the
fourth quarter. San Diego State managed a 33-yard Lane Yoshida field goal with
just over seven minutes to play, but couldn’t get any closer. Colorado State
managed 507 yards of total offense, but the defense allowed Attiyah Henderson
touchdown runs from one and 72 yards out and the special teams gave up a 93-yard
kickoff return for a score to Davion Mauldin to keep pace.
Player of the game:
Colorado State QB Billy Farris completed 25-of-34
passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns
Stat Leaders: San Diego State - Passing: Ryan Lindley,
24-33, 166 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Atiyyah Henderson, 25-177, 2 TD. Receiving: Vincent
Brown, 11-40, 1 TD
Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris, 35-34, 296 yds, 3
TD
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 26-130. Receiving: Kory Sperry, 5-61, 3
TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The Colorado State
offense woke up at just the right time, but it took way too much of a battle to
get by Colorado State. Billy Farris came through when he had to, and the defense
finally stiffened late, and now a bowl is a possibility if the Rams can come
through with a big upset of BYU next week. Gartrell Johnson needs to continue to
pound away, and Farris and Kory Sperry have to stay hot to keep the chains
moving to keep the BYU offense off the field.

Oct. 18
Utah 49 …Colorado
State 16
Using a two quarterback system, Utah got Corbin Louks touchdown runs from 21 and
69 yards out and Brian Johnson touchdown passes from 32 yards out to Freddie
Brown and 33 yards out to David Reed. Matt Asiata added two three-yard touchdown
runs. Colorado State managed a 29-yard Dion Morton touchdown catch in the first
quarter to tie it at seven, but only came up with three Jason Smith field goals,
including a 52-yarder, the rest of the way. Utah outgained CSU 549 yards to 298.
Player of the game:
Utah QB Corbin Louks completed one pass for 37 yards
and ran five times for 109 yards and two touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris,
19-33, 166 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 20-95. Receiving: Dion Morton, 5-39, 1
TD
Utah - Passing: Brian Johnson, 18-26, 185 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Corbin Louks, 5-109, 2 TD. Receiving: Jereme Brooke, 6-34
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado State would like
to be a running team, and it tried to get Gartrell Johnson going against Utah,
with a little bit of success, but the defense struggled so much against the Ute
ground game that Billy Farris and the passing game had to take over. This isn’t
a good enough team to beat the better teams when they’re playing at a high
level, and Utah was playing as well as it could play. Now comes a date at San
Diego State before hosting BYU. Farris has to fine-tune the passing game in a
hurry.
Oct. 11
TCU 13 … Colorado
State 7
TCU wasn’t sharp, and it got down early as Gartrell Johnson capped off a Ram
drive with a four-yard touchdown, but the defense would eventually show up. The
Horned Frog offense got a six-yard touchdown run from Aaron Brown in the first
quarter and Joseph Turner ran for a three-yard score in the second. Colorado
State was held to 11 rushing yards for the game, with -49 yards on the ground in
the second half.
Player of the game:
TCU DB Tejay Johnson made six tackles, made a sack,
two tackles for loss, broke up two passes, and forced a fumble
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Klay Kubiak, 12-24,
121 yds
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 16-30, 1 TD. Receiving: Kory Sperry,
6-104
TCU - Passing: Marcus Jackson, 16-26, 166 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Marcus Jackson, 19-54. Receiving: Jimmy Young, 5-35
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The Colorado State
offensive line got destroyed by the TCU defensive front, especially in the
second half. The running game went nowhere and the pass protection was
non-existent, but the defense did its job in keeping the Horned Frogs off the
board in the second half. Klay Kubiak stepped in for Billy Farris at
quarterback, and he didn’t make too many mistakes, but he didn’t do anything
special, either. Unless the O line is better, the trip to Utah isn’t going to be
much better.
Oct. 4
Colorado State 41 … UNLV 28
UNLV held a 28-27 lead late in the game, but Gartrell Johnson ran for a 10-yard
score with just nine seconds to play for a 35-28 lead. John Mosure returned a
fumble on the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown, and Colorado State came up with
the thrilling win. Johnson ran for three touchdowns, including two, three-yard
scores in the second quarter, and Rashaun Greer caught a 46-yard touchdown for a
27-13 CSU lead going into the fourth, but UNLV came back with Omar Clayton’s
second touchdown pass of the day, a 21-yarder to Jerriman Robinson, and a
one-yard Frank Summer runs for the lead that defense couldn’t hold. Colorado
State outgained UNLV 510 yards to 347.
Player of the game: Colorado State RB Gartrell Johnson ran 33 times for
191 yards and three touchdowns
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris,
15-21, 294 yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 33-101, 3 TD. Receiving: Rashaun Greer,
8-211, 1 TD
UNLV - Passing: Omar Clayton, 14-26, 173 yds, 2 TD 1 INT
Rushing: Frank Summers, 20-109, 1 TD. Receiving: Casey Flair, 5-47, 1
TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Colorado State might have officially kicked off the Steve Fairchild
era with one clutch drive. The offense pointed away for an 80-yard touchdown
drive in the final six minutes to beat UNLV, and if that’s the way the team can
continue to play, that’s the attitude it has wanted to show for the last few
years. The offense was tough and physical, and QB Billy Farris did a nice job of
coming up with the big play. With nasty games against TCU and Utah up next, the
offense has to keep finding ways to go on long, drawn out drives to control the
clock.
Sept. 27
California 42 … Colorado State 7
In the span of less than a minute in the first quarter, Cal got a blocked punt
for a touchdown from Bryant Nnabuife and a 43-yard Brett Johnson interception
return for a score, and the rout was on. Nyan Boateng caught an 11-yard
touchdown pass and Syd’Quan Thompson returned a punt 73 yards for a score. Nate
Longshore came in to throw two fourth quarter touchdown passes. Colorado State
got on the board with a one-yard John Mosure run late in the game.
Player of the game: California DB Syd’Quan Thompson made nine tackles, a
sack, and returned five punts for 131 yards and a touchdown.
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Klay Kubiak,
6-9, 130 yds
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 15-63. Receiving: John Mosure, 4-30
California - Passing: Nate Longshore, 9-13, 100 yds, 2 TD
Rushing: Jahvid Best, 11-85. Receiving: Jahvid Best, 3-27
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado State was awful
against Cal, but the special teams breakdowns and the three turnovers proved to
be a killer. It was garbage time, but Klay Kubiak played just sharp enough to
make it a question mark whether or not Billy Farris deserves the starting spot.
The running game struggled to get going and there were too many sacks allowed.
The offensive line didn’t have a good game, but the big problem was the special
teams. CSU can’t win games when it’s not playing well in all three phases.
Sept. 20
Colorado
State 28 … Houston 25
On the CSU 15-yard line, Houston had a chance to kick the game-tying field goal
with eight seconds to play but chose to try one more shot in the end zone. Case
Keenum’s pass was picked off by Klint Kubiak, and Colorado State held on for the
win. The Rams got up 21-0 on short touchdown runs from Kyle Bell and Gartrell
Johnson, and they started out hot with a 79-yard Dion Morton touchdown catch in
the opening minute, but Houston came roaring back with three Keenum touchdown
passes including a three-yarder to L.J. Castile, along with a two-point
conversion, to pull within three with 2:31 to play. The Cougar defense was able
to force a three-and-out, before going on the final drive.
Player of the game: Colorado State QB Billy Farris finished 24-of-33 for 276
yards and touchdown passes.
Stat Leaders: Houston
- Passing:
Case Keenum, 37-54, 380 yds, 3 TDs, 3 INTs
Rushing: Bryce Beall, 14-96. Receiving: Mark Hafner, 8-73, 1 TD
Colorado State
- Passing: Billy Farris, 24-33, 276 yds, 2 TDs
Rushing:
Gartrell
Johnson, 19-69, 1 TD. Receiving: Dion Morton, 5-126, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Colorado State got a
confidence-boosting win over a good Houston team, but there’s cause for concern.
The running game that was supposed to dominate when the Rams got a big lead
didn’t close the deal as Houston was able to roar back into the game. Billy
Farris threw the ball well and came up with the big fourth quarter scoring drive
when needed, and the Ram defense, thanks to Klint Kubiak, stiffened when it had
to. Now the team is on a two-game winning streak with a trip to Cal up next.
Sept. 6
Colorado State 23 …
Sacramento State 20
Colorado State got two Den DeLine field goals in the final 1:29 to avoid the
upset. DeLine nailed a 36-yarder with 1:29 to play, Colorado State’s James
Morehead forced a fumble on RB Evander Wilkins, and DeLine nailed a 20-yard
field goal as time ran out for the win. In the see-saw battle, the Hornets took
the lead in the fourth quarter on a 40-yard Tony Washington touchdown catch, but
couldn’t put the game away. The Rams outgained Sacramento State 416 yards to
310.
Player of the game:
Colorado
State WR Rashaun Green caught nine passes for 152 yards
Stat Leaders: Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris,
21-33, 321 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 20-73, 1 TD Receiving: Rashaun Greer,
9-152
Sacramento State - Passing: Jason Smith, 15-25, 205 yds, 2
TD
Rushing: Evander Wilkins, 14-53. Receiving: Tony Washington,
7-117, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What
does it all mean, Basil? ...
On the plus side, Colorado
State got its first win in the Steve Fairchild era. However, it took everything
in the bag to beat a bad Sacramento State team. The offense was decent and the
passing game sharp, but too many drives stalled and the points were hard to come
by. For supposedly being a power team, Colorado State has to start doing it
after rushing for just 95 yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry.
Aug. 31
Colorado 38 ... Colorado
State 17
Colorado got a 35-yard touchdown catch from Scotty McKnight and one yard scoring
runs from Cody Hawkins and Darrell Scott, while the defense held Colorado State
to 258 yards and just one offensive touchdown. The Buffs pulled away in the
second half outscoring the Rams 17-3 in a bit of a letdown after a wild second
quarter. CSU got a 21-yard Dion Morton touchdown catch to pull within seven, and
then CU's Josh Smith electrified the stadium with a 93-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown. Colorado State answered right back with a 90-yard John Mosure return
for a score on the ensuing kickoff. The Rams wouldn't find the end zone again.
Player of the game: Colorado FS Ryan Walters made 11 tackles, an
interception, and broke up two passes
Stat Leaders: Colorado - Passing: Cody Hawkins, 20-29, 214
yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Darrell Scott, 11-54, 1 TD. Receiving: Scotty McKnight,
5-67, 1 TD
Colorado State - Passing: Billy Farris, 27-37, 187 yds, 1
TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Gartrell Johnson, 12-95. Receiving: Rashaun Greer, 8-70
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... While the stats
against Colorado weren't all that great, the effort was there. The offense
seemed just one big play away in the second half from turning the corner, but it
never came. However, the defense, for the most part, did a nice job of keeping
the Buffs from pulling away. The pass protection struggled and the ground game
wasn't used enough. Gartrell Johnson averaged 7.9 yards per carry, but he only
ran 12 times. Kyle Bell only got six carries for 20 yards.
