Unhappy with the direction of the passing game, Colorado State head coach Steve Fairchild said earlier in the week there would be changes.

Gary Patterson's not afraid to talk about the Bowl Championship Series and his team's chances of breaking through this year.

Cal Poly scored three touchdowns in the first three minutes of the second half, two by its defense, as the Mustangs topped Dixie State 44-14 in a non-conference game Saturday night.
