The Colorado School of Mines football team is done playing nip-and-tuck games away from Golden — at least for now. The Orediggers submitted their strongest offensive performance of the season Saturday in Alamosa, piling up a season-high 638 yards in a 56-14 rout of Adams State in RMAC play. Quarterback Evan Foster did it all, completing 25 of 31 passes for 326 yards and four touchdowns, running for 57 yards on four carries, and even reeling in a 17-yard scoring pass from Landon Walker on a trick play. The 12th-ranked Orediggers (6-1, 4-1 RMAC) rumbled for 288 yards on the ground against out-manned Adams State (0-7, 0-5 RMAC), which lost starting quarterback Chase Nelson in the first half and never recovered.

Forecasting the Rockies’ offseason is like forecasting Colorado’s weather. It’s an inexact science. But there are trends to watch and indications of what’s likely to come. The most important and obvious trend is the Rockies’ ongoing youth movement. If the talent blossoms, as general manager Bill Schmidt and manager Bud Black believe it will, a turnaround could happen, if not in 2025, then in ’26. The Rockies’ “construction project,” as they prefer to call it, will continue during the offseason and into spring training.
