Spring game touchdowns don’t count for much. But it appears the deep ball, finally, is alive and well for the new-look Rams. by kylefredrickson
It’s no surprise when you consider the roster Norvell inherited. Former starting quarterback Todd Centeio transferred to FCS James Madison and 2021 signee Evan Olaes is coming off a redshirt year. But Millen still needed to earn the trust of new teammates and coaches in establishing a leadership role with the Rams.
“Clay is a really smart player. He’s kind of your thinking man’s quarterback,” Norvell said. “He understands how to use the offense and he’s just really starting to feel comfortable playing.” Millen took another step forward in the spring game completing 22 of 33 passes for 292 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound redshirt freshman was efficient in moving the football despite strong winds throughout the game.
Norvell’s Air Raid offense flourished at Nevada last season with 4,500 yards passing and 38 touchdowns with NFL-bound quarterback Carson Strong leading the way. Compare that to the Rams’ offense from one year ago: 3,020 yards passing and 15 touchdowns. Better days are likely ahead for CSU’s passing attack.
“I haven’t arrived or anything,” Millen said. “I got to learn from one of the best quarterbacks in the entire country last season with Carson. Just being in meetings with him every single day. … I’ve been able to learn and just get comfortable with the guys. All of the receivers out there are doing a great job.”The surprise breakout defender from CSU spring football? Redshirt freshman linebacker Drew Kulick.
