RENO, Nev. — The Rams will be bowling.

The Colorado State football team beat Nevada 38-21 Saturday night to reach a sixth win in the 2024 season.

Here’s a look at what CSU football coach Jay Norvell and players Ayden Hector and Jordan Noyes said after the win.

Jay Norvell’s opening thoughts on win at Nevada

“Just proud of the collective effort of our football team. I’m really pleased with the focus and execution that we saw in all of our phases. We made big plays offensively, defensively and special teams. Our kids continue to prepare at a high level and it’s starting to show on Saturdays. I think our team has a lot in them. I think we haven’t even scratched the surface of how good we can be, so we have to continue to work and improve. We’ve got a bye week now. We’ve got some guys banged up. I’m hoping we can get some of them back, you know Jacob (Gardner) and Jack (Howell). So, we’ll see how they respond this week. It’s a good week for us to get a bye.”

We feel like there’s more out there for us for this team. If this team continues to prepare the way it has and focus the way it has, there’s special things we can accomplish.”

Jay Norvell on the postgame reaction to the win being relatively mild

“I think our guys are focused and they know we can accomplish some special things if we continue to practice. You know, when people don’t care who gets the credit, you can accomplish some amazing things. We have a very unselfish team. I think that’s unusual in college football right now.”
