DALLAS — Season-long issues, both in the Colorado Avalanche’s control and not, were big problems again Friday night.

BOULDER — Running all over the Mountain West is like dunking on the kids’ table at Thanksgiving. Melvin Gordon piled up more yards from scrimmage than Ashton Jeanty. Kapri Bibbs ran for more touchdowns. Before your Heisman Trophy ballot dies on that hill of lies, dang lies and statistics, consider two things: Since 1981, seven different Football Bowl Subdivision players, including Jeanty, have rushed for 2,200 yards in a season. Since 1981, you know how many guys have picked off four passes while also grabbing 13 touchdown catches and piling up at least 1,100 receiving yards?

FORT COLLINS —  A would-be Black Friday black eye at Canvas Stadium turned into a stunning comeback.

As a result, CSU heads into the final day of college football’s regular season with its hopes for a berth in the Mountain West championship game still alive. The Rams looked dead in the water following an Aggies’ defensive TD in the final moments of the third quarter.
