Colorado State probably should feel a sense of urgency on a visit to Tulsa on Saturday.

The Rams are coming off a loss to Colorado. Then, on Sept. 21, the Rams go to Alabama.

So, if Colorado State gets rolled by Tulsa it will almost assuredly start the season 1-3.

Tulsa, a 34-7 loser at Bowling Green in the season opener, also comes into the game needing a victory.

The Golden Hurricane goes to Oklahoma next week.

So, to get any type of momentum in September, Colorado State and Tulsa both need a victory on Saturday.

A year ago, TU rebounded from an opening loss at Iowa State to win the Conference USA championship, Liberty Bowl and 10 games.

“You put your head down and go to work,” said TU coach Bill Blankenship. “You can’t live in the past. You can’t live in the past when you win. You can’t live in the past when you lose.

“It’s foolish to move forward without making corrections. If this team does what I believe they’ll do, I think we’ll bounce back. I think we’ll play well. We have to prove it. You just can’t say it.”
Colorado State was competitive with Colorado before fading in the second half against the Buffs.

Likewise, TU trailed just 13-0 early in the second half when the Hurricane collapsed under an avalanche of mistakes.

“We’re going to get back and make sure the game plan is efficient, focused and that we can execute it,” said Blankenship.
