FORT COLLINS — A week later, a different story.
Colorado State’s defense, with coordinator John Jancek given a bit more latitude with his calls in Saturday’s scrimmage at Canvas Stadium, stymied the first offense all day long, which head coach loved.

“The one defense didn’t give up a point, which was awesome to see,” he said after the scrimmage fell short of 90 plays, roughly what he considered half of a game. “I thought they made plays even when they were in the red zone and situations where they had to make plays.”
The group opened with a three-and-out, forced a missed field goal on the next drive, forced a punt on a four-play drive then made two game-saving plays by keeping receivers Preston Williams and Warren Jackson from making plays to win the game.
Bobo said he saw energy, and as the session moved on, the defense picked up confidence and momentum. At the end, he said the offense was walking away with their heads down, but he cautioned it wasn’t as bad as they probably thought.
