25, 2021.Ĭounting games played in a 13-year period beginning in 2015 and scheduled through 2027, the Rams will host 10 Power 5 opponents in Fort Collins in that span after not hosting one opponent from those conferences in the seven seasons from 2008-14. Colorado State's last matchups against a Big Ten opponent came against Minnesota in 2016 (road) and 2015 (home), and the Rams have one more scheduled before the 2022 Michigan matchup, at Iowa on Sept.
The Rams have played three Power 5 programs in each of the past two seasons, including two at Canvas Stadium-Oregon State (Pac-12) in 2017 and Arkansas (SEC) in 2018. That Rams team, quarterbacked by current football staff member Anthoney Hill, finished the season 10-2 and ranked No. The programs met in the 1994 Holiday Bowl in San Diego, Calif., won by the 20 th-ranked Wolverines over the 10 th-ranked Rams, 24-14. 1 in all of college football with a capacity of 107,601. The Rams and Wolverines will meet on the gridiron for just the second time, and the first at Michigan Stadium, "The Big House," which currently ranks No. "I have a great deal of respect for the Michigan program, and to have a chance to play in one of the most iconic stadiums in the nation presents a tremendous opportunity for us." "To get to where we want to go as a program we have to continue to test ourselves against the best programs in the country," said head coach Mike Bobo. Seven of those will be played in Fort Collins at Canvas Stadium.
The total includes nine against Pac-12 foes, five against the SEC, two against the Big 12 and two against the Big Ten.
The game will be the second all-time between the Rams and the Big Ten's Wolverines, and brings Colorado State's total number of games to be played against members of "Power 5" conferences over the next 10 seasons to 18. Colorado State and Michigan jointly announced today a future football game scheduled to be played between the two schools on Saturday, Sept.
