FORT COLLINS — For Colorado State to achieve its bowl dreams this year, the Rams are going to have to pass-block.CSU gave up 59 sacks for 399 yards last year, with both marks the worst among 131 FBS teams, and quarterback Clay Millen was pummeled 55 times as the Rams’ leaky front allowed 4.92 sacks per game.Thus, coach Jay Norvell and his staff made revamping the offensive line a top priority this offseason, with CSU turning to mostly new faces up front ahead of its season opener against Washington State on Sept. 2 at Canvas Stadium.“If a program’s not winning, they’re usually not very good on the offensive line,” Norvell said. “Let’s be honest, that was the case here. We worked really hard to build that up and make it a competitive, solid group. We’re physical, mature, and that group’s consistency is a key to this season.”Millen is expected to make a jump as in his second year as the Rams’ gunslinger.
