The Colorado State Rams have been to three straight bowl games despite winning only 21 games total in that span. The Rams have achieved a steady state of mediocrity which has been just enough to reach the postseason. This season figures to be no different as the Rams have holes to patch on the defensive side of the ball. The Rams began MWC play last season on a roll before crashing to earth late in the season.

This season, the Rams are forced to go with their backup plan at quarterback. After losing Nick Stevens to graduation, the Rams also lost Collin Hill to a knee injury in spring practice. Now, the Rams will be relying on K.J. Carta-Samuels, who has joined the program as a graduate transfer from Washington. The Rams have also lost their top players from last season at running back and wide receiver.

Practically the entire Colorado State defense from last year is gone and that may not be a bad thing as the defense was putrid at best last season. Bobo has recruited well on the defensive side of the ball and the young Rams squad can only improve. The Rams are strong on the defensive line and will be transitioning to a 4-3 alignment. Defensive coordinator John Jancek formerly called the signals for Tennessee and looks to bring a more wide-open scheme to Fort Collins. In order to break the spell of middling results, the Rams will need the defense to take a step forward.
