The Streak is Over

It was a great weekend for Ram fans.

Johnny Walker fired up the Rams as they pummeled the Rebels 48-23.

We won't be ranked number three in ESPN's Bottom 10 anymore.

Gartrell Johnson III was MWC Offensive Player of the Week.

Cecil Sapp scored a TD for the Broncos.

David Anderson scored for the Texans.

CU lost.

Wyoming lost.

The Rockies didn't overshadow the Rams (like they will next weekend).

After 13 weeks of futility, everything seemed to go right for the Rams, especially on the field.

As I previously wrote, the Rams need more big plays on defense and special teams, something common under the great Ram teams of the 1990s, but lacking now. Well, the Rams got them in bunches.

They forced five turnovers, scored on two of them, recovered a accidental onside kick, and managed to only turn the ball over once themselves.

More importantly for the Rams was that they responded after UNLV pulled the game to within 27-17 by getting a 33 yard Damon Morton kickoff return and then a 34 yard touchdown pass to Morton on the next play.

CSU attempted to do this multiple times to put away teams like Air Force and CU during their losing streak, but they missed and blew the lead.

The key for the Rams will be keeping up the winning ways, with streaking Utah coming to town. The Rams still can finish the season bowl eligible, an unlikely situation, but not impossible.

After the Rockies recent run, there is only one impossibility in this world, scoring World Series tickets.
