Colorado State Football: Jim Mora Weekly Press Conference - Week 3 (2026)
- 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.
