Unfortunately for the CSU Rams, their hopes of winning the conference championship are no longer within their control. Despite having the opportunity to determine their own destiny in the Mountain West Conference title race, the Rams faced a tough defeat during their trip to California's Central Valley. In a late Saturday night game, they fell 28-22 to Fresno State.
The Rams started off strong, scoring a touchdown on their first drive and taking an early 7-0 lead. However, they were unable to find the end zone again until after Fresno State had built a 28-7 lead by halftime. This proved to be a difficult hill to climb for the Rams, resulting in their overall record dropping to 7-4 and 5-1 in the Mountain West.
As a result of this loss, the Rams will now need some help in order to secure a spot in the conference title game. If they finish tied for second place with UNLV, the Rebels will hold the tie-breaker advantage. The title game will be hosted by Boise State on December 6th, as they have already clinched the top spot in the regular-season standings with a narrow win over Wyoming.
Next Friday, the Rams will have their final regular-season game at home against Utah State. Meanwhile, UNLV will be hosting last-place Nevada on Saturday. These remaining games will be crucial for the Rams as they hope to keep their championship dreams alive.

Additionally, the Rams have continued their push for the Mountain West championship with a dominant win over Wyoming, reclaiming the Bronze Boot for the first time since 2020.
Looking ahead, the CSU Rams will face off against Wyoming in their annual rivalry game and the excitement is already building with the announcement of an extension of the series through 2035. Despite facing challenges off the field, the Rams have shown resilience and determination on the field, with players like Avery Morrow making the most of their second chance with the team.
