I’m officially spoiled. Any time the Aztec defense gives up a pass of more than 10 yards or a run greater than 5 yards, I smirk and shake my head. What a lovely problem.
First, kudos to Nick Bawden for shoving the slow to remove himself from Donnel Pumphrey Nevada linebacker after Donnel’s touchdown. Thou shalt not mess with thy teammates.
Next, Ty Gangi went from thinking, “Their defense isn’t so good” to “What the hell is going on?” by the second quarter.
The end of the second quarter Aztec drive resulting in John Baron’s field goal is another indicator of a competent offense that takes advantage of available time. As was scoring after the first two interceptions.
Tanner Blain punted once. Well done, offense.
620 yards of total offense with 474 yards rushing. Rashaad Penny finishes 10/208. Donnel Pumphrey ends the evening with 26/198. Juwan Washington chips in with 5/73. Just another night on the field.
Christian adds 2 more touchdowns to bring his annual total to 15 while throwing no interceptions and a line of 11/16/146. He ain’t rewriting Aztec record books, but he is effective and he wins.
7/9 on third downs. Impressive. 5/5 in the red zone.
Hats off to Kameron Kelly, Ron Smith and Parker Baldwin for their interceptions.
The Wolf Pack joins the legion of teams with less than 100 yards rushing (90) after playing the Aztecs.
Consider the following: 15.2 points, 86.4 yards rushing, 196.1 yards passing, 282.5 total offense. The average offensive production of Aztec opponents as of 10 games played.
Wyoming is next. May the weather behave.
9-1/6-0.
