CSU football embarrassed in 1st half, comeback bid falls short

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — For a brief bit of time it looked like the Colorado State University football team might pull off the near impossible.

The Rams were down 34 points early in the third quarter Saturday before mounting a furious bid to rally at Canvas Stadium.

CSU cut it to two scores and multiple times had the ball to cut it to one score (including once reaching the Middle Tennessee 21) but could never get closer.

Middle Tennessee held on and won 34-19.
