- Colorado State's offense has scored 93 points in two games against Wyoming and Southern Utah, averaging more than 500 yards per game and 6.9 yards per rush. Hauss Hejny has nine passing touchdowns against one interception plus 124 rushing yards; Mel Brown has 228 yards on 17 carries. The preview emphasizes explosive gains, with a substantial step up in opposition against BYU. - Colorado State's defense has forced eight turnovers, including five interceptions, through two games. The article reports havoc on roughly 27% of opponents' plays, but notes the limited early schedule. Its ability to disrupt possessions faces a different test against a BYU offense that has not turned the ball over.

- Colorado State's early wins over Wyoming and Southern Utah and Hauss Hejny's quarterback play impressed the columnist, but he cautions that opponent quality may flatter the start after Wyoming nearly lost to Northern Colorado. That is a strength-of-opposition concern entering BYU, not evidence of a new injury or personnel change.

- Hauss Hejny has thrown nine touchdown passes – matching a two-game mark at Colorado State -- and a 75-yard scoring run for good measure. - It's like, all right, guys, can we not do this at midnight instead of 12 in the middle of the day?" We've all been there, but most have never been in the huddle keeping an offensive focused when a lead has been cut down...

- Colorado State coach Jim Mora wants more reliable early-down rushing gains before chasing explosives. The quarterback was hit seven times despite taking only one sack, so protection remains a concern ahead of BYU. The sack total alone understates how often the offense exposed its passer to contact. - Mora welcomed Quinton Harris back to Colorado State's offensive line and said Jaden would work back into practice that week after missing extensive time. The returning bodies could help line depth, but the interview does not confirm Jaden's game availability, a starting assignment or an unrestricted workload. - Mora said Colorado State's receivers had missed some run-blocking assignments despite generally good perimeter blocking and catching. He also attributed the interception discussed in the interview partly to an incorrect route, rather than simply an underthrown pass. Route detail and blocking responsibility are specific offensive corrections. - Colorado State was flagged twice in its latest game, but Mora noted that two penalties over the opening games had erased big gains. He wants those costly execution errors eliminated; a low overall penalty count has not prevented meaningful damage to offensive production.
