Three questions for CSUCan Rashaun Greer recover from a season-long lack of concentration and inability to hang on to the deep ball, or will walk-on Tyson Liggett strike again with an 11-catch effort? The Rams will want to go deep against Idaho, which is giving up an average of 228 yards passing. Dion Morton remains the playmaker, and offensive coordinator Greg Peterson wants Jyrone Hickman to make his overdue debut.
The Rams are second in the Mountain West and 22nd nationally against the run, but vulnerabilities were revealed last week against BYU’s Harvey Unga. Can CSU at least hinder Idaho’s DeMaundray Woolridge? Idaho, like BYU, has a balanced run-pass game and a superb quarterback in Nathan Enderle. The Vandals are averaging 404 total yards a game.
Can the Rams avoid the distractions of the Kibbie Dome and knock out the Vandals early? If the Rams don’t put last week’s loss at BYU to rest and take Idaho seriously, there will be no momentum for back-to-back MWC powers Utah and TCU.
