“I’m just really proud of our team, our coaches, our staff, everybody associated with CSU football," Norvell said after the win over Wyoming, via Coloradoan.

Fresno State, meanwhile, is on a two-game losing streak, and the Bulldogs need to win one more game to become bowl-eligible.

"We have a tradition of making bowl games," said interim head coach Tim Skipper, via KMPH. "That's our goal and definitely something we're striving for. There's a lot of teams that wish they were in the position we're in, where if they can win one more, they're bowl-eligible."
