FORT COLLINS — The physical gifts are there. The skills, too.
Yet for the most part, it is untested when it comes to the Colorado State secondary, so mark it down as another group of the Rams football team that has something to prove in 2016.
“I love their athleticism, I just worry about experience,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “There’s nothing that can replace experience. Do I think they have athletic ability? Yes. Do I think they’re going to make some mistakes? Yes.
“The big thing is we’ve got to forget that mistake, we’ve got to line up and play the next play and don’t let it set us back the whole game.”
In the past four seasons, Colorado State depended a lot on the safety duo of Trent Matthews and Kevin Pierre-Louis. They could communicate with out words, with the nod of a head or a certain look. It’s a commodity that can’t be overlooked, and the defensive backs in the rotation are keenly aware.
