The outcome was an old fashioned butt kicking. Expose butt, please kick. Repeat. Repeat.
The Aztecs were ugly, uninspired and unsuccessful.
The Rams took the game from the beginning snap. The Aztec defense was reminiscent of the pre-Rocky days (those were bad defensive teams). Nick Stevens, an average qb, was 10/15/210 without a single interception. Our front three peppered with the occasional linebacker or two could not reach Mr. Stevens.
Do you want more proof regarding Aztec lack of preparation? Two CSU running backs ran for better than 100 yards each. Mr. Gallup (well named) caught 7 balls for 139 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Rams were 8/12 on third down conversions (that’s a stunning success rate of 66%). Ram receivers averaged 19.6 yards per catch. The Ram running game averaged 6.3 yards per carry. 507 total yards of offense swept by a bewildered Aztec defense.
Enough.
Consecutive MWC losses must not become three. We have one week to prepare for Wyoming. Will we make their qb look like a future first round pick or will we meet the challenge of arriving in a bad mood? Will we contain Mr. Hill or allow him to look like Donnel Pumphrey once looked?
Stay tuned.
9-3/6-2.
