Border War, Homecoming and Family Weekend, Ag Day, others get kick times
FORT COLLINS – With Colorado State football's inaugural Pac-12 season starting in 100 days, the schedule got clearer as the majority of the slate received kick times and broadcast information. Colorado State will host seven home games in Canvas Stadium for the third consecutive season, with the bulk scheduled for September and October. The Rams' will play four non-conference games, three in Canvas Stadium, followed by seven Pac-12 contests and a final 'flex weekend' that will not count towards the league record.
Â
"The momentum and excitement for our inaugural Pac-12 season continues to grow on campus and in Fort Collins. Coach Mora and his staff have done a tremendous job putting together this roster and we are excited to host seven great home games at Canvas Stadium this year," Director of Athletics John Weber said. "Having all of our home and Pac-12 games broadcast on linear television is a huge win for our great University, athletics department, football program and Fort Collins. There is nothing like a fall game day afternoon at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains inside a packed Canvas Stadium, cheering on the Rams. We cannot wait to kick off the season on September 5 when we host Wyoming for the Border War game."
Â
The season opener against Wyoming in the battle for the Bronze Boot will kick off at 4:00 p.m., MT on USA. The Border War will also feature a stadium 'Stripe Out' along with Military Appreciation. Ag Day and the annual Orange Out against Southern Utah the following weekend will be at 5:00 p.m., MT on CBS Sports Network. The Rams will finish their three-consecutive home games to start the season against old league foe BYU at 5:30 p.m., MT on CBS.
Â
Homecoming and Family Weekend will fall on Week 5 and will be the first Pac-12 contest of the season. The Rams will host Oregon State at 4:00 p.m., MT on USA for the first time since the inaugural game at Canvas Stadium in 2017.
Â
Following the lone bye week in week 6, CSU will head to Texas State for a Thursday night game on CBS Sports Network at 6:00 p.m., MT.
Â
The Rams will appear on the USA Network and CBS Networks four times each and the CW twice.
Â
"The excitement surrounding our inaugural Pac-12 season continues to build, and having the majority of our games scheduled for national television gives our players, fans and University tremendous exposure," said head coach Jim Mora.
