Colorado State is in a tough spot this week in more ways than one. It travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to play the No. 1 team in the nation and two-time defending national champion in Alabama.
Meanwhile, back home in Fort Collins and surrounding areas thousands are trying to put the pieces of their lives back together after historic flooding in the state last week that claimed seven lives and took a massive toll on the state's infrastructure.
The Rams will wear helmet decals to honor flood victims for the nationally televised game Saturday. The decals are shaped like a rain drop and have the image of the Colorado flag inside.
