The college football season is winding down, with most programs approaching the final week of the regular season. For some players, however, their season ended on Saturday—not for the reasons they hoped.
Making headlines was Colorado State starting quarterback Darius Curry, who was caught on video spitting on an opposing player during the Rams’ 49-21 loss to Boise State, dropping their record to 2-9.
Less than 24 hours later, Colorado State interim head coach Tyson Summers and Director of Athletics John Weber announced the suspension of both Curry and redshirt senior offensive lineman Liam Wortmann for their unsportsmanlike conduct during the loss.
“As a result of the unsportsmanlike conduct of spitting on opposing players during the second half of the football game at Boise State, Colorado State Interim Head Football Coach Tyson Summers and Director of Athletics John Weber have suspended Redshirt Freshman Quarterback Darius Curry and Redshirt Senior Offensive Lineman Liam Wortmann for the final football game vs. Air Force on Friday, November 28, 2025,” Colorado State’s statement read Sunday.

As a result, Curry’s season ends on that note, with Colorado State set to face Air Force in their final game of the season. The Rams are not eligible for postseason play due to their record.
Curry, still a young player, issued a full apology on social media Sunday following the suspension announcement from the university.
“I want to sincerely apologize to Jayden Virgin-Morgan and the entire Boise State Football program for my actions during the game. What I did was unacceptable, disrespectful, and completely against the values I’m expected to represent as a student-athlete,” Curry wrote. “I also want to apologize to my Colorado State teammates, coaches, and our fans. I let you down. I allowed my emotions to get the best of me, and I crossed a line that should never be crossed.
“I want to apologize to my parents and my family as well,” Curry added. “They raised me better than what I showed last night, and my actions didn’t reflect who I am or the values they taught me. I take full responsibility. There’s no justification and no excuse. I will use this as a moment to grow, learn, and make sure my actions reflect the standard of Colorado State University and the game of football.”
Across 107 pass attempts for Colorado State this season since taking over as the starter, Curry completed 65.4% of his passes for 740 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He finished his redshirt freshman year with a 125.9 passer rating.
