First-year head football coach Steve Fairchild and the CSU Rams made a huge statement on the national stage today as they defeated Fresno State Bulldogs in the New Mexico Bowl, 40-35. The bowl game, which was played in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was televised nationally on ESPN. This was a fantastic way to end the college careers of Rams seniors like Kyle Bell, Gartrell Johnson, Kory Sperry, and Billy Farris. The Rams got a huge performance in the game from Johnson, who had a career-high 285 yards rushing and 375 yards overall. With today’s win, the Rams finished the season with an overall record of 7-6, giving Steve Fairchild a winning season in his first year at the helm. Here’s to the Rams for capping off a great season with such a memorable win in a year when they weren’t expected to contend!!
