Colorado State: 2026 Week 11 recap

Colorado State sits at 3–5 with a rating of −8.4 (ranked 103rd), holding steady week-over-week after a 31–14 loss at Utah State in Week 9. The Rams' offensive struggles are the through-line: a 21% red-zone touchdown rate and 33% third-down conversion rate reveal a team that can't capitalize when opportunities compress. Late-game execution (4.56 leverage performance) shows they're competitive in tight moments, but GIE projects only 3.7 wins remaining, leaving a playoff berth at 0%. This week they host Boise State at home—a chance to prove they can execute on a short field and build toward a more consistent second half.
