A popular topic during Colorado State’s interviews at the recent Mountain West football media days was asking the Rams if there is any carryover from their come-from-behind victory over Washington State last December at the New Mexico Bowl.
“Our team got a taste of (bowl season) last year and we’re all hungry and have momentum to do it again,” CSU senior linebacker Aaron Davis said.
“It’s good to be able to show the young guys coming in that the end result is wins if we prepare,” Davis added. “When they get homesick and tired, we can tell them that it will all be worth it at the end. We want to have that feeling again that we had at the end of last season.”
Said CSU coach Jim McElwain: “You hope after (the bowl victory), guys ill want to feast at the buffet table again. I’m not sure we’ll be able to measure (the effects of that postseason win) in the short term. I’ll be curious 5,6,7,8 years down the road to see because that could be a turning point in a program’s development. I don’t know if it will be or not.”
