On Saturday, Colorado State supporters inflicted harm on one another.

The supporters took advantage of the Rams’ visit to the snow-covered Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, where they played No. 19 Air Force.

Colorado State Is Penalized As Fans Hurl Snowballs Toward The Air Force Bench

Snow football is a unique kind of football.

Ask supporters of teams that participated in any of the major snow games in the history of the sport, such as Michigan’s 2021 triumph against Ohio State, the 2000 Independence Bowl, or the 1950 Snow Bowl. A harsh sport has an artistic charm about it, something to do with a field of pure white.

But snow can also bring out the childlike side of athletes and spectators, as shown this past Saturday night in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Officials saw fans throwing snowballs at the Air Force bench at the end of the first half, and after issuing a warning, Colorado State was given a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty for the behaviour just seconds into the third quarter, with the score tied at 13. CBS Sports Network reports that this occurred.

The referee announced, “Unsportsmanlike conduct on the Colorado State bench,” into his microphone. “Will the audience please refrain from throwing snowballs?”

After the penalty converted a second down into a first down at Air Force’s 49-yard line, quarterback Zac Larrier scored a touchdown run to give the Falcons a 20-13 lead.

With 8:58 remaining in the third quarter, quarterback Zac Larrier ran the winning score with 15 free yards after the penalty. The broadcasters on CBS Sports Network mentioned that the Rams supporters had already received a warning in the first half.

Air Force ranked 19th, which is the best position they have had in more than 20 years. They led the country in running yards per game as of Saturday. They have now finished the season 8-0.

Colorado State last defeated a ranked opponent in 2002, and they have now dropped 26 straight games against them.
