And thus the regular season. And thus the conference season.
Juwan Washington averaged 9.3 yards per carry. Rashaad Penny averaged 9.2 yards per carry. Well done offensive line (most of the runs were in between the tackles, so the o-line gets the bulk, pun intended, of the credit). By 2019, this group of biggies should be one of the best in the nation.
On the other side, a fine game delivered by both Kyahva Tezino (14 tackles) and Tariq Thompson (2 picks for a season total of 5). A tip of the hat to Bandon Heicklen who had his best game as an Aztec (41.6 yards per punt).
Almost 29,000 in attendance which is not bad given the game was the day after Thanksgiving and the student section empty due to closed campus.
Now a bowl designation awaits. This will be the eighth consecutive bowl game for the football program. Dizzying heights. Sure, playing in the MWC championship game is ideal, but consider our second place finish in the West division as motivation for next year.
10-2/6-2. Go Aztecs.
