Come on CSU, I know you can do it!

This week had a lot of potential for Colorado State Athletics. Homecoming was starting, fans were getting so hyped up and ready for the wins.

CSU volleyball played Thursday night against UNLV. They played a pretty solid match, but just lost so much in the middle. Now, considering they won the match overall, that is a definite plus, but I was still overall a little disappointed.

They had so much going for them. They have had a great season so far and for a while I really thought they might be unstoppable. Now, they are doing a lot better when looking at the stats for the Mountain West verses the matches overall. They are currently undefeated in the MW, but overall I feel like they need to keep pushing themselves.

I know they can do it. Volleyball has always been one of my favorite fall sports and still is, but I just feel like they really aren't pushing themselves as much as they should be. Right now, they are rated 21st in the nation, which is REALLY good. I think if they just keep working their hardest, they will do so well for the rest of the season.

When looking at the football game that was played this past Saturday, I feel everybody is just disappointed. There was so much potential going into this game and I just feel like they blew it at the end.

CSU did come back though in the beginning, which I was so surprised about. They came up from behind with a 7-24 score at the beginning to a 31-31 with only two minutes left in the fourth. The play choices at the end were the things that just blew me out of the water.

They went for a field goal, which could have given them the chance to win, but somehow they missed it. With this miss, came the opportunity for San Jose to come back with the touchdown and win the game. I feel like the defense is the one issue that needs to be addressed. If we had a stronger defense, I think we would be golden, but so far I just have not seen it.
