FORT COLLINS — The key pieces were in place coming into camp.

When you’re the head coach of a football team, and the offensive playcaller to boot, having options on top of options is always a bonus, and Colorado State’s is seeing a unit heading in that direction.

Yes, was the main target in quarterback ‘ 334-yard performance, catching 11 passes for 134 yards, but Bisi Johnson backed up his record-setting bowl game with five catches for 66 yards in the 58-27 win over Oregon State on Saturday.

Behind them, two other wideouts caught passes, and so did two tight ends. Four running backs were used to man the ground game.

The Rams are showing increased depth, and it can only make them better and Bobo’s playcalling easier as they prepare for Friday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado (6 p.m.; Pac-12 Network).

“You can call the offense. Obviously we’ve got things that we try to manufacture to get the ball into No. 4’s hands, because when we’ve kind of started to do that offensively, we’ve been a different offense,” Bobo said. “At the same time, you want to be efficient in your offense enough where you can run it and it can go to any skill player.”
