Fort Collins, CO -- Freshman DE Brandon McKnight came in fir the injured Kharyee Marshall and set a new NCAA record with 8 sacks in one game. He also added a forced fumble on one sack.

McKnight telling TCU QB Pachall to just stay down after his 8th sack of the game.

Marshall fell halfway through the 1st quarter and went for Xrays and looks to be out for 1-2 months, however McKnight came in and probably did enough in one game to earn an All-American berth and a MWC defensive player of the year. Upto this point of the season McKnight has only seen spot duty and garbage time in big wins, however after this performance, you can expect to see him on the field for every play over the next 3 or 4 years.

"Brandon was a monster out there today. Everytime he came to the sidelines he had this harsh look in his eyes. I'm glad that I wasn't the opposing QB today, after taking that much punishment." CSU QB Pete Thomas commented.

TCU QB Casey Pachall was a solid 11 of 24 passing for 324 yards and 2 touchdowns, however after the game he wasn't very optimistic,"I'm not looking forward to the next few days as that DE didn't just take me down, he really threw me into the ground, My calf is already all bruised. I'm hopeful I'll be OK in time to play next week."

Colorado State was motivated by the performance of McKnight to come out on top with a 39-17 win.

Thomas was a solid 18 of 30 passing for 317 yards and 2 TDs, while throwing 1 interception. Chris Nwoke and Tony Drake both scored rushing touchdowns, while Andrew Gill and Derrick Phodes had the receiving TDs.
TCU WR Nick Linton had 175 yards and 2 TDs to lead the Frogs.

"I hope that Marshall has a speedy recovery as he transfered to CSU to get good playing time and provide strong leadership to the younger teammates. After sitting out a year, going down for the majority of the season is a big letdown for him. However, he did give Brandon his congrats and they shared a big hug when Brandon came to the sidelines after setting the NCAA record sack."CSU Coach Drew Gill commented.
