By the numbers: A look at the 2022 CSU football season's best, worst stats
The 2022 college football season is a wrap in Fort Collins.
Jay Norvell's first season in charge ended with a 17-0 shutout of New Mexico.
It was a bright finish to another bowl-less season for the Colorado State football team. The page quickly turns to 2023 with recruiting now in full gear.
Before the chapter turns, here's a look, by the numbers, at some of the best and worst stats for CSU's 2022.
3
CSU's win total, an annoyingly familiar number to fans. CSU has finished with three wins in three of the last four full seasons (discounting the four-game 2020 COVID season). CSU has finished 3-9 seven times since 2007.
26,891
CSU's average home attendance on the season. It ranked fifth in the Mountain West and 11th among Group of 5 programs. Only two G5's above CSU in attendance had losing records. A crowd of 35,009 against Utah State was the largest of the season.
72.2
Quarterback Clay Millen's completion percentage. It's first in FBS and best-ever in the division for a freshman. It's also a CSU single-season record.
