For the record:CSU is 3-5, 0-4 in the Mountain West after a 42-28 loss to San Diego State.
Streaking: The Rams have lost four consecutive games after taking a lead.
Who’s hot: Versatile running back John Mosure filled in nicely for Leonard Mason with 130 yards on 20 carries. Mosure also completed a pass off a direct snap and caught a pass.
Who’s not: The Rams’ defense has yielded 86 points and 1,030 yards the last two weeks — to TCU and San Diego State.
Key stat: CSU hasn’t picked off a pass in the last two games, despite opposing quarterbacks putting up the ball a combined 66 times.
FYI: The Rams have three players — Mosure, quarterback Grant Stucker and wide receiver Dion Morton — who have passed, caught and run for touchdowns. . . . Air Force has won the last three meetings by an average of 16 points a game. . . . Freshman safety Andy Clements is getting more work in an injury-depleted secondary. . . . Saturday was the first time CSU has lost to a team with less than a .500 record.
