Collins, Colorado Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024. Colorado won the Rocky Mountain Showdown 28-9. FORT COLLINS — Colorado State entered the Rocky Mountain Showdown looking to make a statement. The Rams ended up making the wrong one.
“We just weren’t good enough tonight,” Norvell said. “I’m disappointed in the turnovers we had, and disappointed in the penalties. We needed to play clean, and we didn’t. And we didn’t make enough plays in the first half to really respond to some of the opportunities we had. CSU’s most explosive player, wideout Tory Horton, played hurt and it showed. He made little impact, with two catches for 24 yards in the first half before exiting the game.
CSU’s defense, near the end of a decent first-half effort, committed a pair of personal foul penalties that extended CU drives and led to two TDs. “We weren’t good enough in the passing game today,” Norvell said. “We didn’t get open enough, and we didn’t make enough plays. And I’ve got to look at our protection, because was running around a lot.”
