35 Days Until the @CSURams join the @pac12! 🐏

For Day 35, we are remembering the most complete post-season victory in school history, when #17 CSU dropped 35 points on #20 Missouri in the 1997 Holiday Bowl! 🌴🏆

The night belonged to legendary QB and San Diego native Moses Moreno. Playing through multiple injuries, the WAC Offensive Player of the Year put on a masterclass in grit, throwing for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns to earn Co-MVP honors. 🎯🎯

Sonny Lubick’s squad won all three phases in the 35-24 win, featuring some iconic CSU plays:

🏈 A 22-yard strike from Moreno to Corey McCoy, followed by a beautiful 47-yard bomb to Dallas Davis.

💨 An explosive 85-yard punt return by co-MVP Darran Hall.

🏃‍♂️ The ultimate dagger: a 23-yard TD sprint on a fake field goal by backup QB Ryan Eslinger.

The victory capped off a dominant 11-2 season, landing the Rams at #17 in the final AP poll and solidified CSU's place on the national stage in the 1990s.

@joshtweeterson Nebraska media Twitter is unbearable

@BradenTClark @swollcracker Completely false- March madness is what matters. Especially at mid major level

[Jeff Riley @3JRiles]

@Coach_Sanford2 @CHSAA Good luck with that - it took wayyyyyy to long to get the shot clock implemented. Although at least you get your state title games in a modern stadium instead of a rodeo monster truck barn.

Wemby can't believe what Jokic did to him 😮

[Mike Rowe - aka Chorizo @camschorizo]

Adam Silver wants to fix the @NBA from tanking, yet sticks his head in the sand on how horrible @NBAOfficial @OfficialNBARefs are. This is what is ruining the game, not tanking.

@CSURamT USU needs to play a better non-conf schedule IMO. I

@cujoknows @DNVR_Rams You have no idea what you are talking about

[Mike Sautter @MikeSautter_]

I've seen Dru Kuxhausen, Trent Harris and every Scottsbluff team since 2009.

Nate Kelley is the best overall player I've seen in a Bearcat uniform. Not the best shooter, Kuxhausen was and is that.

Kelley is the most complete of them all.

[Jeff Riley @3JRiles]

Throwback @natekelley_5 - just gave these boys more to chase! Congrats on your state championship!

[Chris Basnett @Chris_Basnett79]

The Nate Kelley Experience. Well deserved state title for one of Nebraska's best. #nebpreps

@csurams_daily Considering the long term history of CSU basketball a high B+, and maybe A- if they get an NIT invite.
