Justin Marshall became the first Colorado State (CSU) running back to rush for more than 100 yards in his debut since Ron Harris in 1973, breaking a 49-year-old record. Marshall's performance helped the Rams defeat San Diego State 34-10 on Saturday night.
Marshall, a true freshman, was not expected to play this year due to injuries to other running backs. However, when he was called upon, he was ready and made the most of the opportunity. Marshall rushed the ball 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown.
Part of Marshall's success can be attributed to the dedication he has shown on and off the field. He is committed to his studies and takes advantage of the academic support provided by the Colorado State University School of Athletics. He is also a versatile player who can make a variety of contributions on offense and special teams.
Marshall's play has earned him a spot in the Rams' rotation. He will play a big role in the Rams offense as the Rams look to make a run at a bowl this season.
