"I understand why (coach Fairchild) did it," Farris said. "Obviously we didn't have anything going. It was really looking bad. Good for Klay. He did well."
Kubiak, younger brother of Ram safety Klint Kubiak, said his quarter of play was bittersweet.
"Given the situation, it didn't feel great because of the score," Kubiak said. "But if felt great to finally get into the game and finally feel like you helped the team."
Rashaun Greer, CSU's leading receiver on the season and the recipient of Kubiak's 63-yard toss, said Kubiak told Greer before going in that he was going to try and make a big play.
"He did pretty good. I'm glad they put him in and gave him a chance to see what he could do," Greer said. "He really had a confident feeling even though we were down so much."
Throwing another factor into the equation was T.J. Borkey, a former quarterback who converted to wide receiver two weeks ago but lined up behind center three times Saturday. Borkey, a redshirt freshman from Orlando, Fla., ended up handing the ball off once and keeping it twice for a gain of two yards- all on a similar option play from the shotgun.
Fairchild said he might use Borkey in a similar role in the future but also that Borkey, like a lot of his teammates, have a lot of room for improvement.
"We just got to keep working and guys will improve, and our team will improve," he said.
