Colorado State Loses Top Pass Rusher Broderick Sargent For Season With Torn ACL

The Colorado St. Rams defense had a good performance by allowing only 10 points in their win over the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, but in that game the Rams lost their best pass rusher in defensive end Broderick Sargent who tore his ACL:

"I feel really bad for the kid," CSU defensive coordinator Larry Kerr said. "You talk about as hard a worker on our football team, Broderick Sargent is right at the top. He's just a quality kid on and off the field. He's such a great example to all of our players and even to us as coaches the way he goes about his business. He's the most talented pass rusher on our football team."

The injury took place sometime in the first half while an offensive lineman was holding Sargent, so the Rams are going to turn in the video to the league for review. In 2010 Sargent had 37 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks, so his production will be missed.

Colorado State Has Worst Offensive Performance Ever

The Colorado St. Rams are in the midst of spring football practice and while it is a time for learning and the team will struggle at times.

Head coach Steve Fairchild may have over reacted when he called Saturday's performance by the offense the worst he has seen at Colorado State:

''To me, that's as bad an offensive practice as we've had in four years,'' fourth-year coach Steve Fairchild said after this morning's session at Hughes Stadium.

''They couldn't line up right, they couldn't stay in their stance. There were probably 25 offsides penalties. We didn't catch the ball, we didn't throw the ball. We didn't do a thing right offensively today.''

Well, that is not good, but Fairchild may be spot on from Saturday's performance.

The offense had players lining up in the wrong spots, multiple false start penalties by the receivers, the quarterbacks could not hit their receivers and when they did get the pass on target the passes were dropped.

The defense should be given some credit for the offensive struggles and the standout defensive player of the day was junior defensive end Broderick Sargent who had five tackles, two for a loss and a sack.

Good thing for the Ram offense that it is still only spring and they have a little over four months to get their offense running smoothly.
