Seniors Marcus Walker and Willis Gardner helped the Rams end a 19-game Mountain West Conference road losing streak with victory at Air Force.

Marcus Walker's short jumper that could have upset MWC-leading Utah was blocked and the Utes went on to defeat the Rams in overtime.

Conference leading Utah plays CSU Wednesday night in Fort Collins and the Rams hope they will be able to contain 7-foot-2 Utes center Luke Nevill by attacking him with hustle plays.

Coach Tim Miles claims the Rams are a better team when guards Marcus Walker and Harvey Perry consistently.

Colorado State signed 22 players to football national letters of intent and coach Steve Fairchild says the next step is to develop these players.

CSU doesn't know for sure which team they will be playing and the Rams are still awaiting official word that it will be invited to the Dec. 20 New Mexico Bowl. However, the Rams know for sure that the team will be honored at their annual football banquet on Dec. 7 at the Hilton Fort Collins.

Everything went CSU's way Saturday and now the Rams will likely play in the Dec. 20 New Mexico Bowl.

CSU needs to win its final two games to become bowl eligible after Saturday's loss to Air Force at Falcon Stadium.

Steve Fairchild has encouraged former CSU player to come back for a visit and Miami linebacker Joey Porter, who donated money and his name adorns the Rams' locker room, was at Saturday's game against BYU.

CSU made two key plays late in the game to secure a win over San Diego State.
