2011 NOTESTOP PLAYERS IN 2011:

RB Chris Nwoke in 2011:A product of Highlands Ranch, Colo., Chris Nwoke • rushed for 1,130 yards and became CSU’s fi rst 1,000-yard rusher since Gartrell Johnson III in 2008 (1,476).Ran for 232 yards against San Diego State and 269 vs. • Air Force, becoming the fi rst player in Rams’ history with multiple 200-yard rushing efforts in the same season. Was one of two running backs to record multiple games • of at least 232 rushing yards, joining Oregon’s LaMi-chael James.Was the only Ram to record a catch in all 12 games last • season. Nwoke’s longest reception streak on the team is at 13, starting Nov. 20, 2010, at Wyoming.He became the fi rst Ram to earn multiple MW Player of • the Week honors in the same season since QB Bradlee Van Pelt in 2003. Earned the Fum McGraw team MVP and second-team all-• MW honors (MW coaches and media, and Phil Steele).

Nwoke rushes into Mountain West record book:Nwoke’s 269 yards set a MW record for most rushing • yards by a non-senior, previously held by New Mexico’s DonTrelle Moore.It was also the most rushing yards by any player in a • conference game, eclipsing the record help by Air Force’s Chad Hall.

Nwoke’s 269-yard rushing performance against Air Force:His 269-yard effort represented the third-best rushing • total ever by a CSU player, topped only by Tony Alford’s 310 yards at Utah (Oct. 28,1989) and Johnson’s 285 in the New Mexico Bowl vs. Fresno State (Dec. 20, 2008).His 269 yards were the most ever by any player in 227 • all-time games at Hughes Stadium, which opened in 1968.

TE Crockett Gillmore in 2011:Crockett Gillmore was moved from defensive end to tight • end nine days before the 2011 spring game.Recorded at least three catches in 11 of 12 games. • Finished the season as CSU’s leading receiver (45), re-• ceiving yards (468) and TDs (4). He’s the fi rst CSU tight end to lead the Rams in receiving since All-American Keli McGregor in 1984. Was named to the John Mackey Award mid-season • watch list. Earned second-team all-MW honors (MW coaches & • media and Phil Steele).

OL Weston Richburg in 2011:At the start of the season center Weston Richburg made • it his goal to help a CSU running back rush for at least 1,000 yards. He accomplished that goal and many oth-ers. Richburg helped Nwoke rush for 1,130 yards and nine • touchdowns while earning second-team all-MW honors himself. Started all 12 games in 2011 and 24 in-a-row, which • leads CSU. He also found his name on the Rimington Award watch • list, one of four sophomores on the list. Broke his right snapping hand against San Diego State • but played the next two weeks at tackle before returning to center and snapping with his left hand.

LB Shaquil Barrett in 2011: Shaquil Barrett joined the Rams just before the 2011 • season and was immediately eligible because Nebraska-Omaha disbanded its football program.Played in all 12 games with 11 starts at middle lineback-• er. Led the team with 99 tackles and was the fi rst Ram to • score two defensive touchdowns in one season since Luke Adkins in 2004.

P Pete Kontodiakos in 2011:Averaged a career best 38.7 net yards per punt and also • recorded a 43.6 gross average which was in the top 20 in the nation.He also blasted 20 of his 57 punts for 50 or more yards, • while pinning opponents inside their own 20 on 13 oc-casions.He became only the fourth punter in CSU history to earn • back-to-back all-MW honors.

OFFSEASON HONORS

During the offseason Weston Richburg, Crockett Gill-• more and Pete Kontodiakos were named to preseason watch lists for various awards. Richburg leads the Rams with three nominations: Rimington Trophy, Outland Tro-phy, and Rotary Lombardi Award. Gillmore was named to the John Mackey Award watch list and Kontodiakos to the Ray Guy Award list. Chris Nwoke, Kontodiakos and Gillmore also earned • spots on 2012 College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) offensive awards watch lists.


2011 NOTESNwoke is the only MW running back named to the 2012 • CFPA Running Back Trophy watch list. Gillmore is among the top-42 tight ends on the CFPA • Tight End Trophy watch list.Kontodiakos was named to the 2012 CFPA Punter Award • watch list.Nwoke, Richburg, Barrett, and Kontodiakos were named • to the Blue Ribbon Yearbook preseason all-Mountain West team.In late May, 11 Rams received Phil Steele preseason • honors. Nwoke, Richburg, Barrett, Kontodiakos and defensive lineman John Froland earned fi rst-team pre-season all-MW accolades, the national college football analyst announced. Linebacker James Skelton and of-fensive lineman Jordan Gragert received second-team honors and Momo Thomas was the lone Ram on the third-team all-conference squad. Also garnering atten-tion from Phil Steele was offensive lineman Joe Caprio-glio and kick returner Lee Clubb.

UPCOMING SEASON:

Jim McElwain:Newly appointed Athletic Director Jack Graham hired • Jim McElwain on Dec. 13, 2011.McElwain, who opens up the Bold New Era against in-• state rival Colorado, hasn’t dropped a season-opener at the college level since 2004 as an assistant head coach at Michigan State. McElwain knows a thing or two about being bowl eli-• gible. Since 2000 he has been to bowl games in nine of the past 11 years, including two national champion-ships.Compiled a 47-6 record at Alabama.•

FBS champ vs. FCS champ:McElwain, who helped lead Alabama to a 2011 BCS Na-• tional Championships, will coach his fi rst game at Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium against the defending FCS champion North Dakota State. This is the fi rst time the Rams and Bison have met. •

Notable game on the schedule:McElwain will say that each game is important but an-• other notable game on the 2012 schedule will come on Oct. 6 as the Rams play host to Fresno State. McElwain was the Bulldogs offensive coordinator in 2007.

Returning success:Colorado State returns 16 starters and 39 lettermen • from its 2011 squad. Also returning are two players who earned Scholar-Ath-• lete awards from the Mountain West for their work in the classroom during the 2011-12 academic year. De-fensive lineman John Froland and tight end Blake Jones received the award that is the highest academic honor bestowed by the conference. To be eligible for selection, student-athletes must have • completed at least two academic terms at the member institution, while maintaining a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or better, and have participated in varsity competition in an NCAA-sponsored sport.

Sophomore Gunslinger:The Rams will most likely have a true sophomore at • quarterback to begin the 2012 season in Garrett Gray-son. In 2011, Pete Thomas was CSU’s fi rst returning starter at quarterback since 2007 but Thomas went down with a knee injury and eventually transferred out of Fort Collins. Grayson, who stepped in against San Diego State when • Thomas hurt his knee, went on to start the fi nal three games for CSU. In this short time he accumulated 542 passing yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for another 193 yards and one score. Grayson, who was ranked the No. 22 all-purpose quar-• terback in the nation coming out of high school, will of-fer mobility under center. Rams haven’t had a mobile quarterback since Grant Stucker in 2009.

Greg Myers into the Hall:Former Jim Thorpe Award winner Greg Myers, a two-• time All-American at Colorado State, was selected for enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame in late May. He became the third individual in the history of Colorado State’s football program to earn enshrinement in the Hall of Fame, joining consensus All-American Thurman “Fum” McGraw and former head coach Earle Bruce.In Fort Collins, he led the Rams to a pair of league cham-• pionships (1994-95) and consecutive Holiday Bowl berths. During Myers’ junior season, CSU appeared in the national rankings for 13 weeks, including the high-est ranking in program history, No. 10 over the last fi ve polls of the regular season prior to a loss to Michigan. The Rams fi nished No. 14 in the fi nal 1994 rankings.


2012 SEASON PREVIEW On Dec. 12, 2011 newly-appointed Athletic Director Jack Graham made his fi rst big hire, Jim McElwain the offensive coordinator from Alabama, putting in motion a “Bold New Era” for Rams Football. Right from the outset McElwain made it clear he was here for the long haul. “This is a long-term commitment,” McElwain said. “I am not looking here to bounce; I’m not looking for that. We were looking for a place that we really thought we could build that is fortunate to be in some other situations. This is one, because of the vision, because of the drive, be-cause of the commitment and because of the bold new era, we are really excited to be a part of it.” The offseason has been a rollercoaster ride fi lled with ups and downs. The depth chart has been wiped clean and all jobs are up for grabs. This will give all the student-athletes a chance to prove themselves to the new coaching staff. McElwain made it clear before spring practices what he was looking for out of his guys. He wanted energy and accountability, both prominent traits found in Coach McElwain; traits that the coaching staff and players demonstrated throughout spring practices. Now the Rams head into the 2012 season under all new leadership but returning players that were difference makers on the fi eld last sea-son.

POSITION CHANGES During the offseason the Rams shifted a few players around in order to get the best athletes on the fi eld. Senior Dominique Vinson will move from cornerback to the offensive side of the ball and line up as a wide receiver, his natural position. With the Rams set to run a multiple front defense Broderick Sargent and Davis Burl will move from the defensive line to linebacker. This will provide the defense with even more experi-ence at linebacker.

OFFENSEQuarterback: The Rams starting quarterback for the past two sea-

sons, Pete Thomas, transferred after the 2011 campaign. Garrett Gray-son, who was rated the No. 22 all-purpose quarterback in the nation out of high school, started the fi nal three games for the Rams after Thomas went down with a knee injury late in the 2011 campaign. Grayson of-fers CSU more mobility than the other quarterbacks on the depth chart. Two other returning quarterbacks are M.J. McPeek and Conner Smith. McPeek, a 6-foot-4 pocket passer, has been a varsity reserve since transfer to CSU from Kansas State. Smith, another pocket passer, red-shirted in 2011. In the fall, the Rams’ depth will improve with the newest signal-caller Craig Leonard, a Fort Collins native.

Running back: CSU only lost 30 percent of its rushing total from 2011. Due to graduation the Rams lost their second leading rusher from 2011 in Raymond Carter. Chris Nwoke, a versatile junior from Highlands Ranch, Colo., made a huge splash into the Mountain West scene in 2011 after running for 1,030 yards and nine touchdowns. His rushing total was the most by a Ram since Gartrell Johnson in 2008. It was also the 16th best single-season rushing mark in CSU history. Nwoke, who played in all 12 games, is a power back capable of leaping over defenders. Behind Nwoke on the depth chart are four freshmen and a senior, none of which have registered a collegiate carry. Dorian Brown, a prod-uct of Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, Colo., was one of the nation’s highest recruited tailbacks following his junior season, before a knee injury derailed his senior year of high school. Brown redshirted

last season, giving his knee more time to recover, and will be looking to make an impact on the fi eld in 2012. Donnell Alexander, the son of the late Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas, redshirted in 2011 but found himself second on the spring depth chart. Although he is listed at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds he packs a big punch, capable of running over the biggest defenders, which was evident in spring ball. Alexander cumulated over 7,000 yards rushing in four seasons in high school. Davon Riddick, another redshirt freshman who will be looking to get some touches in 2012, brings speed to the Rams’ backfi eld. A football and track athlete from Abilene, Texas, Riddick brings his 4.4 second speed in the 40-yard dash to CSU. True Freshman Tommey Morris, from Odessa, Texas, and senior Mark Woodbury round out the depth chart. Fullback: The Rams return all three fullbacks from last season, in-cluding a now healthy Austin Gillmore. Gillmore is back at full strength after tearing his ACL last season against Northern Colorado. Before the knee injury Gillmore was moved from linebacker to fullback and was named the starter. Jake Levin played in all 12 games for the Rams including seven starts in 2011. Levin stepped up in the absence of Gillmore and hauled in nine passes for 100 yards. He was key in assisting Chris Nwoke to a Hughes Stadium record 269 rushing yards, third most in CSU history and third most by an individual at the FBS level in 2011, against Air Force. Joe Brown was one of CSU’s most complete players in 2011. Listed as a fullback he was able to open up big holes for the running back and also line up in the slot and make plays with his hands. A sure-handed, athletic target, Brown fi nished with catches in 11 of 12 contests and 25 in total, the third highest total for the Rams. Wide receiver: Speed will be a word best used to describe this years receivers. The wide receiver core lost Matt Yemm and T.J. Borcky to graduation but return their big play threats in Lou Greenwood and Thomas Coffman. Greenwood, a 6-foot, 181-pound senior, led all wideouts with 26 catches for 396 yards and two touchdowns. Since being moved from running back he has been CSU’s most dangerous weapon with the ability to line up in the slot or split wide. The Rams have another speed threat in Coffman. Although only pull-ing in eight receptions, he had the teams highest average per recep-tion (26.2). He best demonstrated his speed and athletic ability when he made a highlight-reel, diving catch against Boise State. This 46-yard gain was nominated for GEICO Play of the Year and made No. 3 of ES-PN’s Top Plays of the Weekend. Marquise Law and Dominique Vinson are two more receivers to watch in 2012. Law is looking for his breakout season and the Rams hope it will come in his fi nal year at CSU. The 6-foot-4, 212-pound se-nior capitalized on an opportunity to start in 2011. Vinson is the best off-the-radar candidate for 2012. After playing cornerback for the Rams since his transfer from Saddleback College he will be moved to the offensive side of the ball this fall. Wide receiver is his high school position where he excelled. As a senior in high school Vinson caught 78 passes for 1,126 yards and 12 touchdowns. At the collegiate level he has been able to show off his speed and versatility when he returned an interception 25 yards while breaking tackles and side-stepping the opposing team. Tight end: Going into the 2011 season tight end was leaving the coaching staff with an uneasy feeling. Graduation and injuries forced a lot of movement, including Crockett GIllmore. Gillmore was moved from


2011 SEASON PREVIEWdefensive end to tight end just days before the 2011 spring game. Going into the 2012 season tight end might be one of the most settled posi-tions. Gillmore will start for the Rams, just like he did all 12 games last season. He led the team in all major receiving categories last season and this helped him receive a lot of national attention. He has been named to numerous preseason all-MW teams and was named to the John Mackey Award watch list. Backing up Gillmore will be Blake Jones, who is coming off a knee injury, and Kivon Cartwright. When Jones went down, Cartwright saw an increase in playing time and he was able to make an impact. Playing behind Gillmore he caught all passes thrown his way and had an average of 21 yards per reception. Cartwright is a fast and athletic hybrid, similar to former CSU standout tight end Kory Sperry. Offensive line: Colorado State returns three starters on the offen-sive line in 2012, having lost Jake Gdowski and Paul Madsen to gradu-ation. This group of returners will be one of the most experienced lines in the Mountain West. Not only with the Rams O-line bring back Weston Richburg, Jordan Gragert and Ty Sambrailo (a trio with over 43 combined starts) but it will also add Joe Caprioglio. Caprioglio, a 6-foot-6, 315-pound senior, was moved to tackle, his natural postion, last season but a knee injury sidelined him after three games at weakside tackle. He has knotched 12 career starts. Offensive linemen will tell you that it is a bad thing if the media or fans know their name but that isn’t the case for Richburg. He is a household name for Ram fans. Richburg, who hasn’t missed a game in his career, has earned fi rst-team Freshman All-America honors (2010), second-team all-MW nod (2011), and back-to-back years on the Riming-ton Trophy watch list. He became a fan favorite late in the 2011 season after demonstrating his toughness. Richburg broke a bone in his snap-ping hand but played the next two weeks at tackle before he returned to center and snapped with his left hand in the season fi nale against Wyoming. Rams fans should expect consistent blocking for the quarterback and wide holes for Nwoke and the rest of the Rams’ runners.

DEFENSE Defensive line: This will be a new look for CSU fans. Co-defensive coordinators Al Simmons and Marty English will run a multiple front defense. The coaching staff hopes to use a couple scholarships to add to the defensive line before the 2012 season begins. Fans will recognize a couple names on the D-line. Curtis Wilson, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound junior, played in 12 games last season and record-ed 12 tackles. He will should see signifi cant time on the line. Also getting a chance to play will be Te’Jay Brown. Brown, also a junior who played in 12 games in 2011, showed a lot of potential and has been getting a lot of reps in camp. John Froland, who received 2012 preseason all-MW honors by Phil Steele, is the most promising of the returning defensive linemen. He has a nice balance of speed and strength that can make him tough to block. As a freshman he was able to accumulate 34 tackles, the second most by a D-lineman in 2011. At 6-foot-5 he also has length to get his hands on the ball and defl ect it at the line. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to CSU fans if a freshman makes an impact like Froland did last year.

Linebacker: This appears to be the most important position in the mind of the coaching staff. With the addition of Davis Burl and Broderick

Sargent to the core, it is a position fi lled with athletes. If the defense is going to enjoy any success this season it’ll depend on the leadership ability of Shaquil Barrett. Barrett, who led the Rams with 99 tackles in his fi rst year with CSU, will be the defenses anchor. It is a role he got a taste of last year when Mychal Sisson broke his ankle against early in the season against Northern Colorado. Now the leader-ship role is completely on the shoulders of Barrett. Barrett had one of the best seasons a CSU defensive player has seen in many years; two defensive touchdowns to go along with 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The 2012 defensive formation will feature more linebackers than seen previously so the roles of James Skelton, Max Morgan and Aaron Davis will be greater this year. Skelton was very consistent last season, fi nishing second on the team with 91 tackles, and will be a big factor this year. He will act as Barrett’s “right hand man.” Morgan, who registered a safety in his fi rst collegiate game, and Davis have played in a combined 21 games. The linebacker corp won’t be able to say they are “inexperienced.” Secondary: The secondary took the biggest hit after the 2011 sea-son. The Rams most experienced players, Ivory Herd and Elijah-Blu Smith, graduated. They will have some veterans in the secondary in Momo Thomas and Austin Gray. Another familiar name will be Shaq Bell. He will play everything from safety to nickel corner. Any experience in the secondary will be benefi cial as this will be a young group. The Rams only return four players with signifi cant experi-ence at the D-I level.

SPECIAL TEAMS Special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt has to be pleased with what he has inherited in his fi rst year in Fort Collins. He will be working with a four-year punter in Pete Kontodiakos, a long snapper that he can trust and experienced kick and punt returners. Kontodiakos, averaged a career best 38.7 net yards per punt and also recorded a 43.6 gross average which was in the top 20 in the na-tion. He also blasted 20 of his 57 punts for 50 or more yards, while pin-ning opponents inside their own 20 on 13 occasions. Tanner Hedstrom has two of the most important traits for a long snapper: confi dence and a short memory. Hedstrom has the confi dence that makes him one of the best long snappers in the country. Hedstrom, who learned from Scott Albritton, an NFL prospect, earned Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week honors after the Utah State double-overtime victory. He recovered two muffed-punts, which put the Rams in position for the game-tying score. Momo Thomas, who returned 21 punts, averaged 10 yards a return, the third best average in the Mountain West. Lee Clubb fi nished the 2011 season ranked second in the conference averaging 26 yards per return. This also placed him in the top-25 nation-ally. The Rams lost a kicker with big game experience in Ben DeLine and will replace him with someone that lacks experience. Jared Roberts, a sophomore, was slotted as the No. 1 kicker during the spring game and connected on 41 and 45-yard fi eld goals. The kicks he might face in 2012 will certainly come under more pressure than what he faced in Aprils spring game.

Graham’s three objectives as AD Maintain athletic department integrity • Uphold academic excellence • Win•

Director of Athletics John C. “Jack” Graham has boldly placed Colorado State’s program on an ambitious path towards na-tional prominence with his visionary leadership.

A successful business leader and former Rams quarterback, Graham has integrated the department under the motto, “Dream big, work hard and settle for nothing less than excel-lence.”

University President Tony Frank believes Graham is the right person to move CSU’s most visible department toward.

“In Jack Graham, we have the perfect combination of dedicat-ed Ram fan, stand-out athlete and experienced business leader with the skills and business acumen to energize and advance our overall athletics program,” Frank said. “I am excited about the enthusiasm he will generate among our students, coach-es, alumni, donors and fans. He brings high standards, high expectations and a passion for winning that is infectious.”

CSU’s athletics department supports nearly 400 student-ath-letes competing in 16 varsity sports.

Graham, who played quarterback for the Rams from 1973-74, took on the duties of athletic director and quickly went to work. His fi rst major initiative was to conduct a thorough evaluation of all athletic programs and to engage with donors and supporters about their goals for CSU athletics.

Shortly thereafter, Graham invested in the CSU’s future by hir-ing coaches with proven track records in the Rams’ three big-gest sports: football and men’s and women’s basketball. His expectation is to win at least 60 percent of games/matches and consistently participate and win in postseason competition.

“Athletics play a critical role at CSU,” Graham said. “Our teams can and should be leaders in defi ning our university’s tradi-tions, and they can be catalysts that unite our students and community. I… believe our success in athletics can and will send a signal about the overall quality of CSU’s leadership, our standards and our talent. We are committed to winning while maintaining the highest level of integrity and student success.”

With numerous ideas for improvement and expansion, Gra-ham is overseeing a project that is already in progress. The Moby renovation will expand the north and south concourses, improving fan access to the ticket sales and will-call areas, as well as create a more logical setup of the concession stands. The project is slated to be fi nished in the summer of 2013.

Graham graduated from CSU in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in U.S. history. After playing football for CSU, he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins. He went on to a successful 30-year career in the international insurance and reinsurance markets, where he was known as an innovator and effective leader. In 1998, he founded ICAT Managers, a leader in catastrophic risk insurance products. He sold ICAT, including its Lloyd’s of Lon-don business, in 2010 and remains on the company’s board of directors. Graham also sits on the advisory board of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

“We have the same expectations for excellence in our sports program that we have for all areas of the university,” Frank said. “With Jack’s leadership, I see no reason why CSU athlet-ics cannot and should not compete at the highest level. To get there, we have to dream big, work hard and settle for nothing less than excellence.”


HEAD COACH JIM McELWAIN27TH SEASON IN COACHING | FIRST SEASON AT CSU

McELWAIN AT A GLANCE

Hired by Jack Graham on Dec. 13, 2011.•

Kicks off his 27th season as a coach, all of which have been •

working with the offensive side of the ball.

Two-time national champion while offensive coordinator at •

Alabama.

Compiled a 47-6 record with Crimson Tide from 2008-11. •

Has been to bowl games in nine of the last 11 seasons.•

Jim McElwain became the 20th head football coach in Colorado State pro-gram history on Dec. 13, 2011, prior to Alabama’s appearance in the BCS national championship game.

McElwain, 49, came to Fort Collins from the Crimson Tide, where he had served as Nick Saban’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 2008-11. A key cog in navigating the team to the national title contest in two of the last three seasons, including the Jan. 9 battle against No. 1 LSU in New Orleans, McElwain played a key role in navigating the team to two national championship victories in the last three seasons. Alabama defeated No. 1 LSU in January 2012 and topped Texas to claim the 2009 championship.

In addition, McElwain’s offenses at Alabama have:Led the nation by committing only 57 turnovers since he took the • reins of the unit to begin the 2008 season. Ohio State ranks second with 59.Sent two players to the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York, the • 2009 winner Mark Ingram and 2011 fi nalist Trent Richardson.Played a chief role in the Tide’s 47-6 record since 2008.• Ranked among the top units in the Southeastern Conference. This • season, `Bama led the league with 219.8 rushing yards per game, and fi nished second with 433.4 total yards per contest, and third in scoring (36 points per game). In 2010, the team was third in both total yards and scoring.

The veteran coach tutored fi rst-year quarterbacks in two of his four sea-sons at Alabama, Greg McElroy in 2009 and A.J. McCarron in 2011. Sa-ban brought McElwain to Tuscaloosa from Fresno State, to replace Major Applewhite at the reins of the Tide offense.

The offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Fresno State in 2007, McElwain improved the Bulldogs’ output from 338.2 total yards per game the year before his arrival to 419.5 (No. 38 in the nation), and from 23.0 points per contest to 32.9 (No. 32). Fresno State went 9-4 in his only season, including a 40-28 triumph over Georgia Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl.

In 2006, he coached the quarterbacks of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders, under Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Shell, after a three-year stint (2003-05) as assistant head coach, receivers coach and special-teams coach at Michi-gan State.

His Spartans receivers led the team to the 2003 Alamo Bowl, establish-ing school records with 312 receptions and 3,510 receiving yards. The following season on special teams, he coached an All-American, punter Brandon Fields, and the Big Ten’s scoring leader, kicker Dave Rayner. And prior to his departure for the NFL, Michigan State set a school mark with 24 touchdown receptions in 2005, when fi ve of his wideouts had at least 28 catches.

McElwain coached against Colorado State in the 2000 Liberty Bowl, culmi-nating his fi rst season with Louisville. He spent three years (2000-02) with the Cardinals, in charge of wide receivers and special teams, helping the program to three consecutive bowls. Four of his players earned fi rst-team all-conference honors. Three of his pupils ranked among Louisville’s all-time leading receivers, including future Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch.

The offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and receivers coach at Montana State, McElwain coached in his home state with the Bobcats from 1995-99. In Bozeman, he helped QB Rob Compson compile almost 7,000 career passing yards as well as 54 touchdowns, a program record, and also tu-tored Chip Hobbs, the Bobcats’ all-time leading career receiver (144 recep-tions, 2,060 yards, 18 touchdowns). No other Big Sky offense in 1998 was more prolifi c than Montana State, which scored 31.6 points per contest.

He broke into the coaching profession at his alma mater, Eastern Wash-ington, where from 1985-94 he held a host of positions. He launched his career as a graduate assistant and fi nished his tenure with the Eagles as quarterbacks and receivers coach. During his time there, Eastern Wash-ington earned a berth in both the 1992 and 1995 Division I-AA playoffs, and a share of the 1992 Big Sky crown. In addition, in 1993 he coached a third-team All-American, Tony Brooks, who concluded his career as the school’s all-time leading receiver, with 2,969 career yards.

A 1984 graduate of Eastern Washington, where he played quarterback from 1980-83, he owns a degree in education.

An all-state fi eld general at Sentinel High School in Missoula, Mont., McEl-wain grew up 119 miles up Interstate 90 from Butte, which produced former CSU head coach Sonny Lubick. He joins Lubick, Jim Sweeney and Bobby Petrino among the most prominent coaches produced by the state.

Jim and his wife, Karen, have three children, JoHanna, Elizabeth and Jer-ret.

THE KELI S. McGREGOR MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Keli McGregor fi rst became an All-American at Colorado State, then became an All-American at life. Long before he unexpectedly passed away April 20, 2010, McGregor had left a living legacy with everyone who knew him, from his playing days with the Rams to his time as President of the Colorado Rockies. Above reproach and a champion of genuine leadership, he exuded legacy in a unique way. That’s why the CSU athletic department wants to preserve his memory in unique fashion. Beginning in 2010, Head Coach Steve Fairchild awarded the Keli S. McGregor Memorial Football Scholarship to a walk-on player. McGregor fi rst joined the CSU program during his second year on campus, as a walk-on in 1981, then earned a scholarship in 1982 and garnered All-America honors as a senior in 1984. Selected in the fourth round of the 1985 draft by the Denver Broncos, he entered athletic administration following his NFL career. An endowment, this scholarship fund perennially will inspire CSU football players to follow his example, work ethic, dedication and diligence, both on the gridiron and in the classroom. “Lori, the kids, and the rest of Keli’s family continue to be close to our hearts and never far from our minds,” Director of Athletics Paul Kowalczyk said. “We want to create a meaningful, immediate and long-lasting connection between Keli McGregor, Ram Athletics and our student-athletes, campus community, alumni and fans. We believe our program shares Keli’s core values and, after consulting with his family and the Rockies organization, cannot think of a more heartfelt gesture than to honor him in perpetuity this way.” The recipient of the fi rst McGregor scholarship, Broderick Sargent, was announced at the Green & Gold Gala, in Denver on May 22, 2010. One player will always have the scholarship until he graduates; it will not be awarded annu-ally, similar to CSU’s legacy scholarship. It is the expectation of the athletic department that the player will realize the tremendous honor he has received, and demonstrate McGregorlike attributes as a leader, a selfl ess teammate and a man of authentic character and integrity. In response to the numerous requests from teammates and friends inquiring about how they can contribute, the university has established a Web site to make gifts to the Keli S. McGregor Memorial Scholarship Endowment: https://advancing.colostate.edu/MCGREGOR

In addition, Colorado State in 2010: Created the Keli McGregor Award, given annually beginning in Fall 2010 to a student-athlete in one of CSU’s 16 • varsity sports that best exemplifi es traits demonstrated by the honor’s namesake, including integrity, honesty, leadership, class and competing the right way. Presented during CSU’s Scholar-Athlete Awards Brunch, during Homecoming/Family Weekend, the award recognizes the characteristics that best defi ned McGregor’s legacy as an All-America tight end and honors student at CSU, an NFL player, and later President of the Rockies. The new award is among the most prestigious honors given by CSU, on par with the award named after Fum McGraw, the athletic director whom McGregor credited with guaranteeing his scholarship on the heels of a 1982 coaching change. Honored him by affi xing to every football helmet in 2010 a decal with his CSU uniform number, 88.• Held Keli McGregor Day at CSU’s Sept. 25, 2010, home football game against Idaho, at Sonny Lubick Field at • Hughes Stadium. Colorado State’s President, Dr. Tony Frank, and Kowalczyk invited Mc- Gregor’s wife, Lori, and the couple’s four children, as well as McGregor’s parents and Rockies staff, to join them in the home athletic direc-tor’s suite. The family served as honorary game captains during the coin toss, and took part in a brief pregame ceremony honoring McGregor and his family.

“Keli will forever represent the fi nest qualities of a Ram student-athlete and be an example of whatwe expect from them,” Kowalczyk added.

Capi’s NCAA record leads CSU past New MexicoRams win fi rst road game since 2009

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Defensive lineman Nordly Capi forced and recovered a fumble, his NCAA single-game record fourth forced fumble, in the closing seconds Saturday to preserve Colorado State’s 14-10 victory over New Mexico. With New Mexico at the Rams’ 15-yard line with 23 seconds left, Capi stripped quarterback Tarean Austin, then fell on the ball to thwart the Lobos’ last chance. Capi established the NCAA mark of three, shared by nine play-ers, most recently Armond Staten of Central Michigan, vs. West-ern Michigan, Nov. 5, 2010. Capi, who rebounded after a critical unnecessary roughness penalty put new life into New Mexico early on, also registered 3 and-a-half sacks, leading the team to a CSU single-game record 10 sacks. Chris Nwoke’s 2-yard touchdown run with 7:17 remaining in the fourth quarter put the Rams up in the season and Mountain West opener for both teams. After a scoreless fi rst quarter that featured a missed fi eld goal by each team, both squads found the end zone in the second quar-ter. With 2:37 left in the half, Colorado State receiver Crockett Gill-more out-jumped defensive back A.J. Butler in the end zone for a 33-yard score. The Lobos moved right back down the fi eld in fi ve plays, cap-ping the drive with a 27-yard pass from Austin to Lamaar Thom-as.

Rams fall to rival Buffaloes, 28-14 Gillmore leads CSU offense with 84 yards on fi ve receptions

DENVER (AP) - Tyler Hansen led Colorado on four touchdown drives and the Buffaloes hand-ed coach Jon Embree his fi rst victory Saturday, 28-14 over rival Colorado State. The Buffaloes (1-2) overcame a slow start and a rash of penalties to beat the Rams (2-1) for the fourth straight time in Denver. The Rams were playing without two of their top defenders. Standout senior linebacker Mychal Sisson broke his right ankle last week and watched on crutches from the sideline with pass-rusher Broderick Sargent, who tore an ACL in CSU’s opener. The bevy of backups helped stifl e the Buffs until they got their ground game going behind Rodney Stewart, who rushed 19 times for 98 yards to go with seven catches for 93 yards and two punt returns for 9 more. Colorado receiver Paul Richardson had four catches for 27 yards and three big drops one week after setting a school record with 284 yards on 11 receptions in an overtime loss to Cal. Hansen also threw for a school-record 474 yards in that game. This time, he was held to 215 yards passing but scored twice on keepers and threw two touchdown passes. His second touchdown run, from 2 yards out, capped a 16-play, 85-yard drive that ate up more than 10 minutes after the Rams had pulled within 21-14 with some trickery. Rams wide receiver Charles Lovett took a quick pass from quarterback Pete Thomas in the left fl at and threw a perfect 23-yard touchdown pass to tight end Crockett Gillmoreearly in the fourth quarter. After Thomas’ fi rst career rushing touchdown, a 4-yard scamper on the game’s open-ing drive, the Buffs scored touchdowns on Hansen’s 2-yard keeper that marked Colorado’s fi rst rushing touchdown in 15 quarters, and Hansen’s 24-yard strike to Kyle Cefalo with 12 seconds left in the fi rst half. In the third quarter, Hansen hit Toney Clemons for a 44-yard score when free safety Austin Graywas beaten badly. Cefalo’s score followed a couple of big breaks for the Buffaloes. Colorado State’s Joe McKay got a hand on Darragh O’Neill’s punt, the ball bounced for 11 yards and CSU’s Eric Niederberger tried to pounce on it, only to watch it squib away from him and into the hands of Colorado’s Ryan Deehan. With the second chance, Hansen drove the Buffs down the fi eld, capping the drive with the scoring toss to Cefalo. The Buffs managed just 10 yards of offense in the fi rst quarter, when they were whistled for 40 yards in penalties, but they bounced back. Gillmore hauled in fi ve passes for 84 yards for Colorado State.

Rams land thrilling double-overtime victory over Aggies, 35-34 Utah State’s Turbin stopped by CSU defense on two-point conver-sion attempt

LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Chris Nwoke scored a touchdown in overtime and ran for another with less than a minute in regulation to push Colo-rado State past Utah State 35-34 on Saturday night. Utah State (1-2), which nearly beat defending national champion Auburn Sept. 3, went for a two-point conversion after its second touch-down in overtime, but Robert Turbin was stopped by Momo Thomas and the Rams (3-1) on his running attempt. That came one play after of-fi cials called a pass-interference penalty on CSU, inching the ball closer for a second USU attempt at winning the game. Turbin had scored both of USU’s overtime TDs, including a 25-yard run. The Rams’ Crockett Gilmore caught a 7-yard pass from Pete Thomas for CSU’s second overtime touchdown. After losing yardage on a sack and a personal-foul penalty, CSU punted with 2:17 to play. USU’s Eric Moats dropped the punt, his sec-ond fumble of a punt in the game, and Tanner Hedstrom recovered both, including the critical fourth-quarter takeaway that gave the Rams the ball on the 15-yard line. Nwoke then made a 7-yard run, followed by a 1-yard plunge to bring the score to 21-19. Battling adverstiy all night, the Rams overcame it again after that touchdown. Looking to tie the game with a two-point conversion, CSU committed a false-start penalty, pushing the Rams back 5 yards. But Thomas connected again with Gillmore to send the game into over-time. The Rams recovered four fumbles for the fi rst time since a 1997 win over Tulsa. They also won their initial two road games for the fi rst time since 2003.

CSU topped in fi nal minute by San Jose State, 38-31 Thomas throws for three touchdowns, runs for a fourth

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Jabari Carr hauled in a go-ahead TD pass from Matt Faulkner with 54 seconds remaining to help San Jose State snap a 16-game road losing skid with a 38-31 win over Colorado State on Saturday.

The Spartans (2-3) have now won back-to-back games for the fi rst time in three years.

Brandon Rutley rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns be-fore limping off the fi eld after spraining his left ankle in the third quarter.

The Spartans lost some of their steam without their powerful tailback, squandering a 31-17 lead in the second half.

With the game tied and 3:30 remaining, Faulkner guided the Spartans down the fi eld and found a wide-open Carr on the left side for a 38-yard touchdown.

Cornerback Ronnie Yell ended a last-gasp effort by the Rams (3-2) as he intercepted a long pass from Pete Thomas in the closing seconds.

Game 6; Sat. Oct. 15, 2011; Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium


Rams fall to Broncos, 63-13 Colorado State falls to 3-3 on the season

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Even though they were still trailing by three touchdowns, the Colorado State Rams had the momentum after stalling Boise State’s runaway route with two trick touchdowns themselves and a takeaway. Coming out of the tunnel at halftime, they forced a punt and Hughes Stadium was rocking. The Broncos would have none of it. Wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker took the snap and rumbled 36 yards on a fake punt. Just like that, the Broncos were rolling again, and they fi nished off a 63-13 shellacking of the Rams in their Mountain West Conference debut Saturday night. “Stalling out on that fi rst drive, we knew we needed something,” Shoemaker said, “and that was that play to get us back on track.” And sent the Rams (3-3, 1-1 MWC) reeling. “We took momentum into halftime,” Rams safety Ivory Herd said. “We went out there and got off the fi eld. And then, they run the fake punt. It hurt.” Three plays, later, Doug Martin took it in from 14 yards out for his third TD. The Broncos (6-0) quickly followed that with Shoemaker’s 62-yard touchdown catch and Kellen Moore’s fourth TD toss. Mitch Burroughs’ 64-yard punt return set up D.J. Harper’s second touchdown, from a yard out, to cap the scoring - the biggest output against the Rams since their 71-14 loss to Nebraska in 1991. The second-half run all started with the fake punt. “That was the big play,” Rams quarterback Pete Thomas said. “We stopped them and had thought we’d have the ball. We had some momentum and they made a great call.” The super sharp Moore threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns on 26-of-30 passing with just one bad pass, an overthrow in the end zone. Martin ran 20 times for 200 yards and three scores and Shoemaker caught nine passes for 180 yards and two TDs in addition to his 36-yard run on the backbreaking fake punt. “We gave up a couple of scores at the end of the fi rst half and we don’t like to let teams feel like they’re really in it,” Shoemaker said. The Broncos also started out fast, racing to a 35-0 lead before settling for a 35-13 halftime cushion. “It just felt like we were executing like it we do practice,” said Moore, who engineered six scoring drives of under two minutes in improving to 44-2 as a starter, one win shy of Colt McCoy’s NCAA record. “Tonight we were just really clicking,” Shoemaker said. “I think it sets the standard for us in the Mountain West. We talked about that a lot in practice this week: as a new conference member, let them know we’re here to compete.” Even before kickoff of their inaugural league game, however, there were rumblings the Broncos, who left the Western Athletic Conference after a decade of dominance, would be bolting again - this time to the reconfi gured Big East. That conference could issue them a football-only invitation as soon as next week. The Broncos raced out to a 35-0 lead in the fi rst 20 minutes before the Rams gathered themselves and scored touchdowns on the two trick plays. Tight end Crockett Gilmore pulled in a lateral and threw a 27-yard touchdown strike to a wide open fullback Joe Brown. Then, wide receiver Charles Lovett took a hand-off, pulled up and hit Matt Yemm in stride for the score. “We knew they were going to score points and make plays. That is one of the best offenses in the country, if not the best,” Thomas said. “We didn’t make enough plays when we got the ball back to balance out their fast start.”

Rams fall short of Rebels in thriller, 38-35 Pete Thomas was 17 of 30 for 230 yards, but the Rams fell to the Rebels in a thriller

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Quarterback Caleb Herring had a 5-yard touchdown run with 1:20 remaining to lift UNLV to a 38-35 victory over Colorado State on Satur-day. In a game with eight lead changes, Phillip Payne had two TD catches for the Rebels (2-5, 1-1 Mountain West) to break the school’s career record. The senior has 25 scoring receptions. Pete Thomas was 17 of 30 for 230 yards and a touchdown for the Rams (3-5, 1-2), but a late scoring chance was denied when his defl ected pass was intercepted by Tani Maka at the UNLV 28-yard line with 35 seconds remaining. Chris Nwoke led Colorado State with 156 yards rushing on 23 carries. His touchdown from 4 yards out, set up by a long return of a blocked fi eld goal, gave the Rams a 35-31 lead with 4:13 remaining. Dionza Bradford had 122 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries for UNLV. Payne’s second TD and Bradford’s 1-yard scoring run gave the Rebels a 31-20 lead. Colorado State cut it 31-28 with Thomas’ 12-yard touchdown run and a two-point conversion run by Nwoke. UNLV’s next drive ended when Shaq Bell blocked Nolan Kohorst’s 34-yard fi eld-goal attempt, and Austin Gray ran it back 61 yards to set up Nwoke’s scoring run. Playing their fi rst afternoon home game in fi ve years, the Rebels led 17-13 at halftime. Herring hit Payne in the end zone with 14 seconds left in the fi rst half, a score set up by a fumble recovery on a punt at the Rams’ 11-yard line. Payne’s second score broke the school record held by Henry Bailey (1990-94). Colorado State took a 7-3 on Shaqui Barrett’s 52-yard interception return of a Sean Reilly pass for a touchdown with 5:14 left in the quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Deante’ Purvis ran it back 98 yards for a TD. Reilly, who was 2 of 3 for 27 yards, was relieved by Herring with 2:55 remain-ing in the fi rst quarter. Herring fi nished 9 of 13 for 90 yards.

Nwoke’s big day spoiled as Rams fall to Aztecs 18-15 Nwoke had 63-yard touchdown, 67-yard run en route to 232 yards

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Abelardo Perez kicked a 37-yard fi eld goal with 5:49 left and Ryan Lindley threw for 154 yards and a touchdown on a record-setting night as San Diego State defeated Colorado State 18-15 Saturday night. Lindley improved to 11,494 career passing yards to pass for-mer BYU quarterback Max Hall’s 11,365 for the Mountain West Conference record and Todd Santos’ 11,425 for the San Diego State mark. Ronnie Hillman, the nation’s second-leading rusher, ran for 80 yards on 24 carries for San Diego State (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West). But Colorado State’s Chris Nwoke had better numbers, rushing 22 times for 232 yards and a touchdown. Nwoke got Colorado State (3-6, 1-3) on the board fi rst with a 63-yard touchdown run midway through the fi rst quarter. The 63-yard scamper wasn’t even Nwoke’s longest run of the day, he later added a 67-yard run but was unable to fi nish in the end zone. The Rams lost quarterback Pete Thomas to a strained left knee early in the second quarter. The Rams have lost fi ve straight. A 1-yard score by Colorado State’s Garret Grayson early in the fourth quarter tied the game at 15-15 before Perez, who had missed from 22 and 44 yards earlier, was right down the mid-dle.

Colorado State Falls At TCU, 34-10 True-freshman Garrett Grayson makes fi rst start and passes 248 yards

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - True-freshman Garrett Grayson made his fi rst start and was 14 of 24 for 248 yards and a touchdown plus an interception for Colorado State which lost to TCU 34-10 on Saturday. Antoine Hicks, Ed Wesley and Matthew Tucker ran for touchdowns and Tank Carder returned an intercep-tion 69 yards for a touchdown, helping TCU (9-2, 6-0) keep alive its hopes of going to a second straight BCS bowl game. “We just went through the motions in that ballgame, the whole game,” Patterson said. “If you want to be champions and a top 15 program, you’ve got to do things the same every week. Not once in a while. Every week.” The Horned Frogs were so lackadaisical that defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey forgot in his locker the blitz card worn around his wrist (similar to what quarterbacks often use). Patterson gave a list of other examples that showed his club wasn’t as sharp as he wanted them to be. TCU was outgained in the fi rst half, but still led 13-3 at the break. The Horned Frogs got rolling in the third quarter and were never really threatened while handing the Rams (3-7, 1-4) a sixth straight loss. “For some reason today we came out fl at,” right guard Blaize Foltz said. “After all the emotion we had last week, it was pretty diffi cult to get back up. I’m glad we came out of the funk.” Patterson stressed that the best thing about the victory was that it was No. 45 for the senior class, setting a school record. They’ll go for one more in the season fi nale Dec. 3 against UNLV, which also can give TCU the outright conference title. The Horned Frogs extended their Mountain West records by winning a 23rd straight league game and 16th straight league game at home. However, this was their second-to-last game in the conference as they’re headed to the Big 12 next season. TCU’s Casey Pachall was 13 of 20 for 117 yards, and Waymon James had 108 yards rushing. Tucker ran for 94 yards and Wesley for 63. Hicks’ 2-yard TD came on his only carry. CSU coach Steve Fairchild tried sparking his team with a new uniform combination. They wore gold jerseys, which he lets them do once a year, and white pants. A team historian said that ensemble had never been done before. CSU’s Garrett Grayson, a true freshman making his fi rst start because of an injury to Pete Thomas, was 14 of 24 for 248 yards and a touchdown plus the interception by Carder. He also ran eight times for 53 yards. Grayson’s touchdown came a few snaps after the interception. This time, he rolled right to avoid an un-blocked blitzer, saw Raymond Carter alone beyond the defense and let loose a pass that covered nearly 50 yards in the air. Carter caught it around the 20 and stepped into the end zone for a 66-yard touchdown. Alas, the Rams were down 27-3 at the time. “To ask a true freshman to come down here and make his fi rst start, I thought he looked calm,” Fairchild said. “He can escape in the pocket, which adds a dimension in the passing game. There were some designed runs, as well.” Chris Nwoke followed his 232-yard rushing performance last week by rushing for 60 yards on 21 carries. Fairchild said he was proud of his team’s effort. They hung tough against a ranked team on the road, as opposed to their 50-point loss to Boise State at home last month. “If they had even remotely not been playing hard this thing would have been a rout (early),” Fairchild said. “They believe they are a good football team. I think we played a good football team with a good record. We’re a good football team; we just don’t have a good record.”

Colorado State loses to rival Air Force, 45-21 Chris Nwoke rushes for career-best 269-yards, two touch-downs

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - The Rams (3-8, 1-5) lost their seventh straight game 45-21 Saturday night overall and their sixth straight to the Falcons despite sophomore Chris Nwoke’s career-best 269-yard rushing performance that included TD runs of 62 and 2 yards.

Tim Jefferson threw three touchdown passes to Zack Kauth in the second quarter and Air Force routed rival Colorado State to reach bowl eligibility for the fi fth straight season.

The Falcons (7-5, 3-4 Mountain West) were expected to have their best season under fi fth-year coach Troy Cal-houn but a spate of injuries left them battling for a bowl on their season fi nale instead. Their resounding win marked the fi rst time in the program’s history that Air Force has won seven or more games in fi ve straight seasons.

Kauth came into the game with just one TD catch this sea-son. All three of his grabs Saturday were TDs, covering 33, 40 and 50 yards.

Rams lose 102nd ‘Border War’ 22-19 Carter runs for a career-best 158 yards and two touchdowns

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Brett Smith threw for two touch-downs to lead Wyoming past mistake-prone Colorado State 22-19 on Saturday.

Josh Doctson caught three passes for 129 yards and two touch-downs for Wyoming (8-4, 5-2 Mountain West) in the 102nd meeting of the Border War. The bowl-eligible Cowboys trail 54-43-5.

Colorado State’s Raymond Carter ran for a career-best 158 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Garrett Grayson rushed for 91 yards and was 15-for-25 for 143 yards with three interceptions.

The Rams trailed 14-6 at halftime before scoring 13 points in the third quarter while holding Wyoming scoreless. Colorado State was unable to put points on the board in the fi nal frame as Wyo-ming scored a touchdown and got the two-point conversion to seal the victory.

The Rams ended the season on an eight-game losing streak and fi nished 3-9 for the third-straight year.

Wyoming’s Smith threw for 191 yards and ran for 90 more.
