Shaquil Barrett knew the Rams needed the ball

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- With less than 2 minutes to play and Colorado State down by eight points, Shaquil Barrett knew the Rams needed the ball back quickly to finish an improbable comeback against Washington State. Once down by 22 points in the New Mexico Bowl, the Rams got their chance when Cougars running back Jeremiah Laufasa came barrelling toward Barrett. "I was kind of thinking in my mind, yeah, That was our shot to get back in the game right there," said Barrett, who stripped the ball. "I really didnt think I was going to get the opportunity." That fumble, at the Cougars 33, set up Kapri Bibbs 1-yard run score and Donnell Alexanders two-point conversion run that tied it at 45 with 33 seconds left. Then, Washington States Teondray Caldwell fumbled a kickoff return at the 24, setting up Jared Roberts 41-yard field goal as time expired gave Colorado State a 48-45 victory Saturday. It was a quarterback shootout that saw close to 800 passing yards combined and a game largely dominated by Washington State until the last 2 minutes. And Colorado State did not have a led the entire game until that winning field goal. "That win right there...its pretty amazing how it worked but at the end of the day, its about being resilient," Rams coach Jim McElwain. "Its about understanding (that) every play has a history and life of its own." Garrett Grayson threw for 369 yards and Bibbs ran for 169 yards and three touchdowns for Colorado State (8-6). The Rams overcame three early turnovers. "Im still kind of at a loss for words about how that whole thing ended up," Rams centre Weston Richburg said. "It must have been destiny. Thats the most unbelievable game Ive ever been a part of." Meanwhile, Washington States Connor Halliday threw touchdown passes to six receivers and finished with 410 yards for Washington State (6-7). Those six touchdown passes tied West Virginias Geno Smith and Iowas Chuck Long for an NCAA bowl record. After the first touchdown pass, Halliday got into a shouting match with a Colorado State coach when Halliday ran into the Rams sideline. That exchange created a social media buzz and McElwain vowed look into it. "Coach grabbed me and said some profane things to me and thats all Ill say about it," Halliday said. Washington State scored 35 points in the first half, but had only 10 in the second. With the game winding down, a lack of a running game forced the Cougars to stay with their spread offence and prevented them for running down the clock when ahead by 15 points in the fourth quarter. "Colorado State finished the game. We didnt," Washington State coach Mike Leach said. "They finished the game better than we did. The lesson to be learned from that is it doesnt matter where youre at. You need to go out and finish the game." Washington State rushed for minus-10 yards total. The match-up brought together two second-year coaches working to turn around their teams fortunes with high-octane offences. Colorado State had not played in a post-season game since 2008. Washington State had not been in a bowl game since 2003. McElwain predicted the bowl victory would help the Rams with recruiting and said it was evidence how far the program had come. "Unbelievable," McElwain said. "You dont write scripts like this." Air Jordan 6 Australia .
