Morrow is back but hasn’t been 100%.In the meantime, CSU turned to redshirt sophomore Vann Schield, who carried the load for a few games. Then last Saturday in the Rams’ 22-19 victory over San Diego State, the Rams got the spark they have been looking for.In his first college game, true freshman Justin Marshall rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown, making him the first CSU freshman to rush for 100 yards in a game since Ron Harris in 1974.“We’ve had a lot of injuries,” CSU head coach Jay Norvell said. “We lost Kobe.
