  "account": "As the Colorado State Rams and Texas State Bobcats prepare to face off in a crucial home game, both teams look to turn over a new leaf after a series of disappointments. Colorado State started the Jim Mora era with a strong victory over Wyoming and a win against Southern Utah's FCS team, while Texas State suffered an inexcusable loss to an injured and ill San Diego State squad. Now, with two weeks of rest, both sides will look to regain momentum in this pivotal matchup.\n\nTexas State will host Utah State next, while Colorado State will travel to face San Diego State following their two-week break. This will be the first time the two teams have met, and it will also be Texas State's first Pac-12 home game. The prediction leans towards Colorado State emerging victorious, thanks to their balanced offense and a strong ground game that averages nearly six yards per carry. Texas State's defense, however, has been inconsistent, particularly in stopping the run, which could work in Colorado State's favor with their grinding drives.\n\nOn the other hand, Texas State boasts a fast-paced offense that ranks third in the nation, capable of executing various offensive plays against Colorado State's second-worst defense in college football. With a chance to pull off the upset, Texas State will have the ball in the final minutes, but Colorado State's defense is expected to make a crucial stop, leading to a final score of Colorado State 37, Texas State 34.",
  "summary": "Colorado State is in a freefall, and Texas State is coming off a horrible loss. One of them will get its Pac-12 season going. Here's our preview and prediction.",
