Under Chuck Heater’s direction, Colorado State’s defense has improved dramatically in just one, significantly COVID-shortened season. The Rams currently have the most improved defensive front in the nation, averaging nearly five tackles for loss per game (+4.83) more this season compared to last season with largely the same personnel. Heater’s defense is allowing just 108.5 yards per game on the ground, the second-fewest in school history and fewest in over 70 years. The Rams allowed nearly 200 yards per game last season.
