NOTING TY SAMBRAILO

Left tackle Ty Sambrailo is Colorado State’s most experienced offensive lineman after the graduation of four o-linemen in May of 2014. In the projected five starting offensive linemen, Sambrailo was the only player to have already made a career start. The native of Watsonville, Calif., has started 40 games, including 18 consecutive starts before suffering a MCL injury in the season-opener vs. Colorado. Sambrailo returned against Boston College, helping the Rams rush for 162 yards and produced the third 100-yard rusher of the year (Dee Hart - 117).

In 2013, Sambrailo registered 47 knockdowns and graded out above 89-percent in all 14 contests.

Leading into the Rams’ 2014 campaign, attention and high expectations surround the 6-foot-5, 315-pound tackle. Gil Brandt, NFL.com senior analyst, called Sambrailo a potential “1st-round surprise.”

COLORADO STATE VS. UTAH | ROYAL PURPLE LAS VEGAS BOWL 12/20/14 HOLLYWOOD HIGGINS

BILETNIKOFF WORTHY In fourth grade, Rashard Higgins’ Pee Wee football coach told him that if he kept making big plays then he would call him ‘Hollywood.’ Higgins continued making big plays, and he received the nickname Hollywood, a name he is living up to at Colorado State with his Nov. 25 announcement as a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.

In his 25-game career, Higgins has 157 receptions for 2,477 yards and 23 receiving touchdowns. In 2014, his sophomore season, the native of Mesquite, Texas, has 89 receptions for 1,640 yards (2nd FBS) and 17 touchdowns (1st FBS). He is averaging 149.1 receiving yards per game, which is also the best among all FBS pass-catchers. The 1,640 receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns are the most in a single season by a CSU player. The 15 touchdowns average 31.3 yards in length.

Against Tulsa (10/4), Higgins set the school record with four receiving touchdowns. In that same game, he also set the CSU record with his 100th career reception in the fewest amount of games (19) among all Colorado State players. Higgins became the first Colorado State player to record seven consecutive 100-yard receiving games (vs. Tulsa - 178, at Nevada - 194, vs. Utah State - 187, vs. Wyoming - 174, at SJSU - 143, vs. UNM - 167, at Air Force - 193), the longest active streak in the FBS. He had a four-game stretch with at least 170 receiving yards in each game, the first time since 2009 that any FBS player has registered at least 170 receiving yards in four consecutive games.

Not only does that figure rank among the best in the nation, it would stand as the best by a Rams team, by far, since the statistic began to be tracked in 1980.

Defensively, CSU is only allowing its opponents to pick up a first down 40.3-percent of the time (75/186).

UTAH | ROYAL PURPLE LAS VEGAS BOWL 12/20/14 TOP NOTES

POWER FIVE Colorado State’s streak of three straight seasons with a victory over a member of a power five conference is tied for the second-longest active streak by a non-Power 5 school with Louisiana Monroe (Arkansas, 2012; Wake Forest, 2013; Wake Forest, 2014) and Northern Illinois (Kansas, 2012; Iowa, 2013; Northwestern, 2014), which have also won at least one game vs. a power five team in the past three seasons. BYU holds the current record rattling off victories in nine consecutive seasons over teams from a power five conference. The Rams opened the Jim McElwain era with a victory over in-state rival Colorado in 2012. To end the 2013 season the Rams defeated Washington State 48-45 in the New Mexico Bowl. Their most recent victory over a power five team came in the 2014 season-opener vs. Colorado and now vs. Boston College (9/27).

Furthermore, the Rams have rattled off three consecutive victories against members of Power 5 conferences. CSU ended the 2013 season with a victory over Washington State in the New Mexico Bowl. They opened the 2014 campaign with a win over Colorado, and then three games later defeated Boston College. The Rams are the only team out of the non-Power 5 conferences (American Athletic Conference, Conference-USA, Mid-American Conference, Sun Belt Conference, Mountain West) to own a current three-game win streak over teams from Power 5 conferences.

HEISMAN ASPIRANT In the middle of November, Garrett Grayson, the Mountain West’s leading passer and Offensive Player of the Year, who ranks in the top seven in the nation in several significant pass- ing categories, was notified in writing by The Heisman Trophy Trust that he is considered a “legitimate contender for The Heisman Memorial Trophy.”

While The Heisman Trophy Trust does not specifically endorse any college football player for the Heisman Memorial Trophy, the correspondence received by Grayson and Colorado State Athletics allows for his inclusion among the “aspirants” pages on the Heisman.com website. The pages are maintained by each school’s athletics staff.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT Senior quarterback Garrett Grayson is getting used to late-game comebacks and game-winning drives. Former head coach Jim McElwain was very vocal about his team needing to come out fast and avoid an early deficit. It hasn’t always gone as planned for the Rams, but no need to worry because they have one of the top leaders in the country.

Grayson has orchestrated six fourth-quarter game-winning drives in his career, his most recent coming last week in CSU’s road victory over San Jose State. The six game-winning drives tie for the third-most among active FBS quarterbacks.

GRAYSON IN THE RECORD BOOKS In Colorado State’s 16-13 victory over defending MW Mountain Champion Utah State, senior quarterback Garrett Grayson became the school’s all-time leading passer when he hit Rashard Higgins on a 13-yard out-route early in the fourth quarter. Grayson, who now has 8,963 passing yards, surpassed Kelly Stouffer, who threw for 7,142 yards from 1984-86. It took Grayson 122 fewer attempts (893) to break the record that Stouffer set in 1,015 pass attempts.

On Oct. 25 vs. Wyoming, Grayson became Colorado State’s all-time leader for passing touchdowns and pass completions. Grayson passed Moses Moreno (1994-97), who threw 51 touchdowns and Kelly Stouffer (1984-86) who completed 577 passes. Heading into the Las Vegas Bowl, Grayson has thrown 64 touchdown passes and completed 668 passes.

In CSU’s 2014 Hughes Stadium regular season finale, Grayson became Colorado State’s all-time leader in total offense (9,267 yards), surpassing , who racked up 8,579 yards from 2001-03.

With just one game remaining in Grayson’s collegiate career, he can surpass his own single-season total offense record, which he set in 2013 (3,815). Grayson is just 62 yards short of establishing a new single-season mark.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Colorado State senior quarterback Garrett Grayson was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year. He is the fourth CSU player to earn the MW Offensive Player of the Year Award, and one of just six CSU players to win either of the conference’s top player awards.

“I’m very thankful to be surrounded by great players and coaches who make my job easier, and make me look better than I am,” Grayson said. “These coaches and players have put me in position to succeed and this is a team honor. I think Bradlee Van Pelt was our last player to win this award, so to be in same category as him, as I’ve said before, is a huge honor. BVP is still the man around Fort Collins.”

Grayson has captured every career record in Colorado State history this season, and has already broken his own single-season records for passing yards (3,779) and passing touch- downs (32) with a bowl game remaining to be played. He ranks in the top seven among all FBS quarterbacks in 2014 in nearly every significant statistical category entering today’s games.

Grayson, who just accepted invitations to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl and the East-West Shrine Game, had arguably his best single-game performance against rival Wyoming on Oct. 25. The native of Vancouver, 2014 COIN TOSS Wash., completed 18-of-21 passes for 390 yards and 5 touchdowns. He finished the game with a passing efficiency rating of 320.3, the highest by an FBS quarterback since 2006. Opponent Coin Toss Game Result vs. Colorado......

COLORADO STATE VS. UTAH | ROYAL PURPLE LAS VEGAS BOWL 12/20/14 RECORD WATCH

CAREER RECORD WATCH Several Rams are on the verge of etching their name in the Colorado State football record book. Below is a look at records on the verge of being broken:

Linebacker Aaron Davis has registered 338 total tackles in his career, eighth-most in CSU history. He needs one more tackle to pass Kevin McLain for seventh.

Quarterback Garrett Grayson has set five career records in 2014... • Career Passing Yards - Against Utah State became Colorado State’s all-time leading passer. • Career Completions - Against Wyoming became Colorado State’s career completions leader. • Career Passing Touchdowns - Against Wyoming became Colorado State’s leading touchdown passer. • Career Passing Attempts - At Air Force became Colorado State’s career pass attempts leader • Total Offensive Yards - Against New Mexico became Colorado State’s all-time total offense record holder.

Linebacker Cory James has registered 22 sacks in 37 games with Colorado State. This total is the 5th-most in school history. One more sacks would put him in fourth-place. Clark Haggans (1996-99) holds the Colorado State record with 33 career sacks.

Linebacker Max Morgan has registered 339 total tackles in his career, seventh-most in CSU history.

Kicker Jared Roberts has a chance to own two kicking records at Colorado State. If Roberts successfully connects on 11 more field goals, which would be a single-season career-best, he would own the school record for field goals in a career. Additionally, 17 more points in the bowl game will place him atop the CSU scoring list among all kickers.

Sophomore wide receiver Rashard Higgins has a chance to set CSU single-season records and jump into the CSU career top-10 lists: • Single-Season Receiving Yards - No. 1 on the list with 1,640 receiving yards. • Single-Season Receiving TDs - Became Colorado State’s single-season leader against Wyoming (17). • Single-Season Receptions - Became Colorado State’s single-season reception leader (89) at Air Force. • Career Receiving Yards - Has 2,477 receiving yards in 25 games, which ranks fifth all-time at Colorado State. • Career Receiving TDs - Has 23 career receiving TDs, which is the most all-time by CSU receiver • Career Receptions - Has 157 receptions, which is the fithth-most by a CSU pass-catcher all-time. David Anderson hauled in 223 passes from 2002-05.
