Rams storm back to earn their first win of the season over Arkansas By Eddie Herz @Eddie_Herz

The Colorado State Rams overcame a late deficit to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks 34-27 and earn their first victory of the 2018 season. The win was CSU’s second ever over an SEC opponent. CSU sent Arkansas home in disbelief. The Razorbacks built a 27-9 third-quarter lead

before the Rams scored 25 unanswered points to win the game. CSU seemed to finally put everything together on defense along with a second-half offensive resurgence led by Preston Williams, highlighting the Rams’ success. “I’m so proud of this football team for the fight that they showed tonight,” coach Mike Bobo said. “I told them after the game that I wouldn’t want

to win it any other way. Your backs are against the wall, things aren’t going great. But they continued to fight and they continued to believe.” Senior running back Izzy Matthews scored from one yard out to win the game for CSU with only eight seconds remaining. The lead was the first for the Rams since being up 3-0 in the first quarter. Arkansas controlled most

of the first half. But the Rams’ defense kept them within striking distance during the opening 30 minutes. CSU displayed more defensive efficiency against Arkansas than it has all season. The Rams’ defense looked on their way to redemption from the very first snap of the game. In fact, on the third play from scrimmage, safety Jordan Fogal took full advantage of

Arkansas receiver La’Michael Pettway slipping before an intended pass reached him. Fogal made a falling interception and set CSU up at Arkansas’ 43-yard line. Senior kicker Wyatt Bryan, who provided all of CSU’s offense in the first half, went on to save what would have been a missed opportunity by splitsee FOOTBALL on page 8 >>
