After 15 years as an assistant, Mike Bobo finally made his head coaching debut, and did so at the age of 41. That makes him the 13th-youngest head coach in the NCAA FBS. Among the 18-youngest coaches, five come from the Mountain West (Boise State’s , 38; Nevada’s Brian Polian, 40; UNLV’s Tony Sanchez, 41; and Utah State’s Matt Wells, 41). PJ Fleck of Western Michigan is the FBS’s youngest coach, at 34.

BEGINNING THE SEASON AT HOME Over the past 11 years, CSU has won its home opener nine times, but this year was just the second time during that span that the team’s home opener came during the same week as the team’s season opener. In 2006, CSU beat Weber State 30-6 on Sept. 2, setting up a 4-1 start to the year.

DEBUTS Mike Bobo and much of his staff weren’t the only Rams making their debuts during the season opener. Six Rams made their first career starts against Savannah State, while 18 players made their collegiate debuts: Wyatt Bryan, Braxton Davis, Dalyn Dawkins, Patrick Elsen- bast, John Freismuth, Colton Foster. Kyle Jacobs, Olabisi Johnson, Coleman Key, Izzy Matthews, George Maumau, Saladin McCullough II, Colby Meeks, Braylin Scott, Trey Smith, Demontrie Taylor, Tre Thomas and Darnell Thompson.

SPREADING THE LOVE The Rams spread the ball around Sept. 5 against Savannah State, with 11 different players catching at least one pass. CSU began the game with three receivers lined up, and the first pass went to All-America wide receiver Rashard Higgins. The junior led all players with seven catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, but he was hardly the only target. Senior Joe Hansley had five catches for 67 yards and a score, while senior tight end Kivon Cartwright caught three passes for 56 yards and the team’s first offensive touchdown.

Of the Rams’ six receiving touchdowns (second-most in school history), all six went to different receivers. The 11 pass catchers included six receivers, two tight ends, two running backs and one fullback. The list does not include Preseason All-Mountain West tight end Steven Walker.

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION CSU lost its starting quarterback to the NFL, its leading rusher and is under a new, no-huddle system under a new head coach, but there were few hiccups during the season opener, as CSU poured on 598 yards of offense for 65 points in its season-opening victory. quick hits 11 COLORADO STATE football
