ESPN: B1G nonconference opponent: Colorado State

[BleedGopher]

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).

Their front 7 looks weak. Our secondary should lock down on their big play WR. This one should be locked up around half time if the team shows up on the road and isn't suffering a hangover post TCU

CSU's QB has left for the NFL, both OTs are gone, and a totally new offensive scheme. To make matters worse, they need to replace their top two tacklers. Although this is a road game, we should have no problem winning since we get them early in the year. It is so nice to have continuity in our coaching staff!
