Of those turnovers two were returned for touchdowns and Fr Brandon McKnight returned an interception, and DT Trevor Murphy picked up a fumble and ran 35 yards for a score.

CSU coach Drew Gill commented about the performance,"We played a strong game today, I think we were really underestimated coming into the season and this game on national TV has shown all those doubters out there thaat the Colorado State Rams mean business."
