NEW MEXICO BOWL - Watch this one

[BroncoBuff]

It's noon Mountain time, 1 pm Pacific, CSU-Fresno State in the New Mexico Bowl on ESPN.

This is one teriffic game ... nothing but big BIG plays .... Gartrell Johnson has almost 200 yards from scrimmage - halftime now.



21-20 Fresno State at Half ...

[Northman]

Yea, i actually called for CSU to win this one.

[Bronco LB 59]

Gutsy play call by Rams head coach Steve Fairchild at the end of the half throwing one up for grabs in the endzone with :09 remaining. Kory Sperry, the 6-foot-6 tight end that came down with the ball, is an interesting NFL prospect.

[BroncoBuff]

That was a great finishing play for CSU ... this'll be a great 2nd half.

Colorado is already an NFL TE factory ... Dan Graham, Matt Lepsis, Joe Klopfenstein, Tom Ashworth, Quinn Sypniewski, Christian Fauria, Solomon Wilcots (started at TE, moved to S/LB), Jon Embree, Don Hasselbeck, and on and on ... why not CSU to join in?

[zms325i]

dont forget Joel Dressen who gets lots of of for Huston. Go rams!!! I wish gartrell didnt suck for his first four years. He's been a hoss this year.

[BroncoBuff]

Shoot ... Rams throw INT inside the Fresno 10 as the 3rd quarter ends.

28-20 Fresno State, start of 4th quarter.



Gartrell Johnson is a real tank ... 550+ touches without a fumble, too.

Oh well ... after 556 carries, Gartrell just fumbled. But CSU recovered.

Gartrell for 15 yards, a Wildcat option for 12, and Gartrell busts in for the TD from the one. Potential tying 2-point conversion pending ...

[HooptyHoops]

I was at CSU in 1994...man, Sunny had that team playing unbelievable...there was even talk of Sunny going to take the HC job of the Hurricanes...let's go CSU!! Big down here!!

Johnson may have just secured a UDFA position with the Broncos after that run.

[24champ]

The WAC sucks.

Can't wait for TCU to blow out BSU.

[broncosteven]

I wonder if BB dozed off and missed the 2nd half.

It is hard to watch a full game when you are that old.

[HooptyHoops]

Good win by CSU!!

[Paladin]

That was a good game to watch. Even the mullets could have learned something from that game about how to cover an onside kick.....

Fairchild has that program going oin the right direction. If he can recruit Colorado and Southern California, he can build off this season. Not only turned th eporogram aroud this year, but also got a Bowl win. Not bad. I hope he is able to get a QB and a RB for next year along with sa couple of 250 lb LBs.

Nice job. Fun game. Colorado proud.....

Johnson may have just secured a UDFA position with the Broncos after that run. Johnson would make a good 7 round pick for the Bronco. He could be a backup Fb to Hillis .

[broncosteven]

Johnson would make a good 7 round pick for the Bronco. He could be a backup Fb to Hillis .

He would but chances are if he is available at 7 he is there the next day as UDFA.

[Inkana7]

Yeah. Round 7 is for getting utility players. FBs, Kickers, Punters, Athletes.

BSU will not get blown out and will probably win. If Fresno State had Ryan Matthews available the outcome of this game would probably have been different. Also, I do not believe that the Fresno State QB can play in the NFL as was mentioned on the telecast. I have seen him play for 3 years now and he is not very good.

[Requiem]

That Johnson kid looks impressive; I'd look at him late -- UDFA for sure. Why not?

[Paladin]

Who be Ryan Mathews, and why wasn't he available?

[Northman]

The WAC sucks.

Can't wait for TCU to blow out BSU.

I dont see that happening. TCU isnt all that.

[BroncoBuff]

I wonder if BB dozed off and missed the 2nd half.

Whhh ... what?

Did I miss something?

[broncosteven]

Whhh ... what?

Did I miss something?

Where did you go, you stopped posting late in the game.

[wandlc]

Who be Ryan Mathews, and why wasn't he available?

He is their best RB. He has good size and speed and pretty good vision. Doesn't seem to dance that much and gets upfield. He was injured earlier in the season and couldn't play. I think he is a sophomore, so he should have 2 more years to get better as a runner.

[Rohirrim]

Cecil Sapp - Part Deux.

[zms325i]

Cecil Sapp - Part Deux.
A productive Bronco for five seasons? I'll take that!!!
