Dawkins leads Colorado State over Wyoming 26-7

LARAMIE, Wyo. -- The first quarter has been good to Colorado State this season. On Saturday, the Rams scored 17 unanswered points in the first quarter en route to a 26-7 win over Wyoming. I thought they came out with an edge in the first half and played like it, played like a team that was hungry to play for each other and to get a win," Rams coach Mike Bobo said. Dalyn Dawkins rushed for 140 yards on 25 carries, Izzy Matthews scored two rushing touchdowns and the Colorado State defense held Wyoming scoreless until late in the fourth quarter. The Rams have outscored their opponents 95-40 in the first quarter this season. Colorado State (4-5, 2/3 Mountain West) gained 228 of its 348 yards of total offense on the ground. "I was determined to come into this game and run the football and try to establish the ground game," Bobo said.
