Van Pelt Improves
Colorado State quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt threw hard again Sunday, a sign that his broken throwing hand might be healed enough for him to play in the San Francisco Bowl against Boston College on Dec. 31.
“I’m getting close. Every day I’m getting closer and closer,” Van Pelt said Sunday. “Sometimes it’s a little uncomfortable throwing a ball, but it’s on track.”
Van Pelt broke a bone in his right hand during the Rams’ 24-23 victory Nov. 22 over Nevada Las Vegas.
He had surgery the following week.
