The Colorado State Rams' most recent loss on Saturday to the Boise State Broncos marked their sixth loss in their last seven games.
And during the game, it seemed like tensions finally reached a boiling point, as one sideline altercation between a Rams player and a member of the coaching staff caught the attention of fans on social media.

It's unclear what in particular was said between Johnson and Bynum that may have sparked this situation. But the video clearly showed Johnson have to be restrained by players and staffers.
Following the game, Jim Mora addressed this incident at the beginning of his postgame press conference, making it clear that
"First, let me address the video that is out there, said Mora. "I have not seen it, of Toriyan and our strength coach getting into it. It's a passionate game played by passionate people that are all alpha dogs. But there is no place for that. So once I see it, we'll address it and we'll got from there."

It will be interesting to see whether Johnson, Bynum, or both are held accountable for their role in this incident. Regardless, this situation certainly add more negativity to a season that has largely been quite negative for Colorado State to date.
The Rams will look to get back on track in Week 11 when they take to the road to face off against the Washington State Cougars, who are notably the lone team in the PAC 12 without a conference win on the year.
