Setting the Stage: Rams Prep for UNLV
Practice adjustments focus on starting strong for Colorado State football as they prepare to face UNLV this Saturday.
Consistent Approach
Safety Jake Jarmolowich emphasizes a steady mindset regardless of the opponent. He believes sticking to fundamentals is key to success.
"I think it's like any other week, to be honest. I've said it a lot, it's going back to our 1/11s -- if everyone does their jobs and we contain this quarterback and we do what we're supposed to do, we're gonna be just fine."
He adds that discipline is crucial during any game to avoid defensive breakdowns.
"I think any game, any opponent, you have to be as disciplined as possible. If you're not, you're gonna overset a gap, you're gonna go over the top and you're supposed to be the inside or wherever it might be. I think with the quarterback, it's just a little thing in the back of your head you've got to keep in mind."
