Colorado State Has Great Shot to Make Bowl Game

In the last game against San Diego State, Colorado State scored 22 points and that was enough for the three point victory. At halftime, they were up 15-0, but they almost blew the game late. The Rams were led by Justin Marshall and he finished with 18 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown.
