COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West Conference has declared the Utah State and Colorado State football game originally scheduled for Saturday, December 12 in Fort Collins, Colorado, a forfeit.
According to the NCAA statistics' policies and guidelines, an institution shall not, for statistical purposes, declare a forfeit for nonfulfillment of a contest. Such instances shall be considered as "no contest." In circumstances involving institutions from the same conference, the league office has the option to declare a forfeit win and loss for conference-standings purposes only, but this does not change an institution's overall won-lost record. The "no contest" declaration came into effect at the start of the 1977-78 season.
