The week off also gave the Rams (2-2) extra time to prepare for their future conference rival.
Colorado State heads to Corvallis, Ore., this weekend coming off the first of two bye weeks built into this year’s schedule, and the week without a game was beneficial for the Rams.
Horton left the team’s game against Northern Colorado with a groin strain. He tried to play the next week against Colorado, but he wasn’t 100% and didn’t play in the second half. He then sat out the game against UTEP. Getting those players back should not only help the morale of the team, but also the morale of the injured players who had to sit on the sidelines and watch while wishing they were on the field helping contribute to the team’s goal of winning games.
Among the team’s focus over the past week and a half has been turnovers. Through four games, the Rams have turned the ball over eight times while only coming up with three turnovers of their own. CSU is averaging 174.3 yards per game on the ground this season, but quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi has gone from averaging 288.3 passing yards per game last season to only 150.5 this year. With Horton healthy and the continued progression of the team’s new and young receivers, Norvell hopes to see a big improvement in that aspect of the game.
