per ESPN:
The Rams are coming off their best season in a decade, but Garrett Grayson, one of Colorado State’s most prolific QBs ever (4,006 pass yards in 2014), is off to the NFL, and they face sneaky tough noncon squads in Minnesota and Colorado.
Offense
How the Rams beat you: New coach, new philosophy for Colorado State, which will trade former head man Jim McElwain’s spread for Mike Bobo’s power run game. “We’ll be pro-style with two tight ends and two-back sets,” Bobo says. Still, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it—and junior All-
America WR Rashard Higgins sure ain’t broke. The Rams win when the ball finds Higgins, and the 2014 Biletnikoff finalist’s big-play ability (145.8 ypg, 17 TDs, both tops in the country) is prolific enough to overcome any growing pains Grayson’s yet-to-be-named successor might face.
How you beat the Rams: With starting OL Mason Myers and Ty Sambrailo gone, defenses will look to capitalize on a line already prone to giving up sacks (27, No. 64 in the FBS).
