Wide receiver Quinton Pedroza has caught 50 passes this season for 562 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Ikaika Woolsey has completed just 50.9 percent of his passes for 1,716 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Last weekend, Colorado State almost had their winning streak ended by San Jose State, but they were able to hold on for a 38-31 road victory. They had 403 total yards in that win and they went 8-for-13 on their third down opportunities.

The Rams have one of the better passing teams in the country this season, averaging 317.3 passing yards per game. Quarterback Garrett Grayson has had a great season by throwing for 2,746 yards with 22 touchdowns and just five picks. Wide receiver Rashard Higgins has caught 67 passes this year for 1,280 yards and 13 touchdowns.
