Colorado State running back Avery Morrow reacts after scoring a touchdown during the first half of the Colorado State Rams football game against the University of Texas at El Paso Miners at Canvas Stadium at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024. The Rams lead the Miners 14-3 at halftime.
The Rams took control quickly on the opening possession with a 12-play, 75-yard drive finished off by Morrow’s 2-yard touchdown run to put the home team ahead 7-0 midway through the first quarter. That set the Miners up at the CSU 27-yard line and led to a 45-yard field goal to cut the score to 7-3 with 6:12 left in the half.
Jordan Noyes’ 37-yard field goal on the Rams’ next drive pushed the score to 24-3, a three-touchdown advantage that appeared to put the game well out of reach for the sputtering Miners offense.Keeler: CSU Rams are gone, Air Force may be next. But Wyoming Cowboys should stand with Mountain West, ex commissioner saysBut UTEP finally found the end zone on the next possession, when the Miners went on a seven-play, 75-yard march capped by Cade McConnell’s 28-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Odom.
At the two-minute mark, Fowler-Nicolosi threw a pick-six on a tipped bubble screen, but the Rams averted disaster, as the score was nullified by an offsides call on the Miners. That was the closest UTEP would come to an improbable comeback as two plays later, Noyes hit a 39-yard field goal to give the Rams a two-score cushion with 1:32 left.
