Where good news shines

Colorado State's Jalen Dupree has an award under his college belt.

Dupree was named Mountain West freshman of the week after the Benton, Ark., product rushed 15 times for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 38-21 loss at Washington.

Dupree averaged 6.1 yards per career and piled up three runs of 15 yards or more. He had 67 rushing yards in the first quarter alone and scored on a 15-yard run.

Colorado State hosts Northern Colorado at Canvas Stadium at 5 p.m. Saturday.
