The two game skid comes to a halt.
The key: The Aztec offense has the ball for 10:24 in the fourth quarter. As in, Wyoming no-touchy the football. Very effective.
A deep bow on behalf of John Baron and his accurate foot. His 20 yard field goal is the winning margin. Speaking of feet, Tanner Blain blasts 6 punts for an average of 45.5 per punt while landing half of his effort inside the 20. Nothing like a long field on behalf of the Aztec defense.
As for the Aztec defense, Kyle Kelley chose the perfect time to have the game of his life with 2 sacks and 14 yards lost. The SDSU defense registered a total of 32 lost yards against the Pokes offense. A complete reversal of two weeks ago which featured Josh Allen and company marching up and down the field with the help of one short third down after another. Last night, not so much. The Cowboys were a lousy 2/14 on third down and 0/3 on fourth down plus their offensive line yielded a total of 4 sacks and 25 lost yards.
Mr. Pumphrey and Mr. Penny had solid games with 110 and 117 yards respectively. The three touchdowns were more important. How many teams throw the ball for 85 yards and win? The Aztecs and nobody. How many teams lose 2 fumbles and win? The Aztecs and nobody. Ugly, effective football.
And we wait for the bowl assignment.
10-3/7-2 (I’m counting the conference championship win as a conference win. So there).
