3. Colorado State LB Josh Watson will have 20 tackles

If you missed the CSU-Hawaii game, you missed a show from senior linebacker Josh Watson who was all over the field, seemingly in on every play. He totaled 13 combined tackles with a tackle for loss and a pass defensed.

The 6’2 240-pound linebacker has increased his production every year on campus and will need to be on his game to stop the Buffs running game.
