Halftime (Colorado State 24, Wyoming 14): Rams defense flies, especially early Patrick O’Brien is the QB that fits this listTrey McBride, Dante Wright = nightmares for defendersGood first half for the Rams , but it also looks like there should be more than 10 points ahead

Colorado State’s 17-point first-half lead might be staggering to some (uh, most), but at least one saw it coming!
A forward 1-yard touchdown by Patrick O’Brien gave the Rams a shocking 24-7 with 5:38 left in the first half
The big play on the disc was a 28-yard pass to Dante Wright, and the second-year speedster already has 98 receiving yards
It was a 9-game, 75-yard drive in 3:19 Perfect response from CSU after Wyoming’s March of Scores
In a week that many Americans spent a lot of time looking at a map of the United States, at least one learned something new
It was a series of big plays, with a 33-yard pass from Levi Williams to Isaiah Neyor and a 21-yard run from Xazavian Valladay before the score
The CSU lead is 17-7 with 8:57 left in the halftime It was a 6 game, 81 yard practice that took just 2:56
Freshman Robert Liss hits a 29-yard basket for Colorado State to take Wyoming’s lead to 17-0 with 11:58 left in the first half
CSU drives inside Wyoming 10 with a third and a 7 goal but a Patrick O’Brien sack ends the drive
A 15-yard pass to Wright on 3rd and 13th helped push Rams into the red zone
It was a near perfect first quarter for the CSU football team, who forced a few turnovers and conceded both for touchdowns
The Rams continue to move it down on offense too, and it will be the CSU ball in Wyoming 22 after a 30-yard run by A’Jon Vivens to finish the quarter
It’s about as close to Q1 perfection as even Colorado state’s most upbeat fan could have hoped
What a great first quarter for the CSU defense Wyoming makes three and three after CSU’s missed field goal, then punishes him
A 42-yard pass from Patrick O’Brien to Dante Wright put CSU in scoring position, but backpacks pushed the Rams back
Wyoming led in CSU 33 but got stuck on a 4th and a 3 when Dequan Jackson stopped a rushing play in the backfield for a loss of 3 yards
What a start for the CSU Rams to ball at their own 36 with 5:56 to play in the first quarter and Rams 14-0 over Wyoming
First play after the fumble and Patrick O’Brien hits a wide open Trey McBride for a 29 yard touchdown Where was that Rams team?
Where does this CSU defense come from? Marshaun Cameron has one hell of a game On a 3rd and 12th on Wyoming’s second leg, the DB blitzes, gets a sack and forces a fumble which Manny Jones has recovered
On a third and long on Wyoming’s first drive, it was the Rams who mark Cornerback Marshaun Cameron left his man after reading QB Livei Williams, jumping the road to make an interception
He returned the ball 30 yards for a touchdown to give CSU a 7-0 lead with 12:03 left in the first quarter

The CSU football team won a first down on the game’s opening try, but stalled close to midfield and had to clear
CSU football has always entered the pitch with awesome hyped video, booming music, and flashing strobe lights, it’s just a weird feeling with no fan noise
There are about three dozen people standing outside the gates north of Canvas Stadium
A few also brought chairs and tents to watch the game through the gates or on the big screen at Canvas Stadium
The Bronze Boot has been the traveling trophy of the Wyoming-CSU rivalry since 1968 Wyoming has won it four consecutive seasons
The Boot sits in the northeast corner of Canvas Stadium, near where the group would normally be
It’s safe to say Patrick O’Brien will start as a quarterback for Colorado State The senior QB who benched in favor of Temple transfer Todd Centeio last week is taking all the pre-game snaps with the No 1 offense
Receivers Dante Wright and Ty McCullouch both missed last week’s game due to coronavirus contact tracing protocols Both are dressed and will play tonight
Patrick O’Brien definitely runs with the 1 attack in warm-ups I think it’s safe to say that O’Brien will start for Colorado State against Wyoming
It’s not in the stands, but some fans set up camp almost two hours before the game just outside Canvas Stadium to try and take a peek and watch on the jumbotron

Twelve times in the past four seasons, the CSU football team have faced one of their three Front Range rivals, and the Rams have lost twelve times
It’s been four full seasons in a row without a win against the three teams CSU has waged a traveling trophy battle – Air Force, Colorado and Wyoming
The last rivalry victory for the Rams dates back almost exactly five years when CSU beat Wyoming 26-7 in November 7, 2015
