QUICKLY
- Devon Dampier is the reigning Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for 272 yards and rushing for 105 yards and accounting for four total touchdowns in a wild 50-45 comeback win over Utah State. The Lobos trailed 17-0 in the first half and 31-15 in the second half, making it the largest second half comeback in school history (since 1946).
- Colorado State has Mountain West wins over San José State (31-24) and Air Force (21-13) and the Rams are in a four-way tie for first place with No. 17 Boise State, UNLV and San Diego State. CSU is over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2017 season when Colorado State finished 7-6.
- New Mexico’s last win in the series came on a walk-off field goal in 2009, 29-27, and the last win in Fort Collins was also on a walk-off field goal, this one in 2006, 20-19.
SERIES vs. NEW MEXICO
- Colorado State has won 12 straight in the series since winning what was not just the conference opener, but season opener in 2010, losing that game 14-10. The two teams didn’t play in 2020 due to COVID, and then UNM and CSU missed each other on the schedule in 2023. The closest UNM has come to a win in the series was in 2018 when the Lobos led 18-17 and CSU missed an 18-yard field goal with just over two-minutes left. However, UNM couldn’t get a first down to run the clock out and CSU hit a walk-off 19-yard field goal for a 20-18 win.
