WELCOME LETTER, C/L. “BUTCH” OTTER

Dear Friends, As Idaho’s governor and someone who once was a student and football player on this beautiful campus, I am proud to welcome you to Boise for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Our state and city, as well as Boise State University, are indeed honored to host this exciting and prestigious matchup between the San Diego State Aztecs of the Mountain West Conference and the University at Buffalo Bulls of the Mid-American Conference.

Idaho is America’s largest potato-producing state – a distinction of which we’re justifiably proud. So naturally we are excited that this bowl game reflects the importance of our famous Idaho potatoes. It recognizes Idaho’s role in bringing the rest of the world heart-healthy, nourishing vegetables that can be used to produce more nutritious food and are grown more quickly, on less land, using less water, in harsher climates than any other major crop.

While in Boise, I invite you to explore all that this part of Idaho has to offer. Ski at one of the world-class resorts located just an easy and beautiful drive from Boise, shop and eat in vibrant downtown Boise or take a walk along the lovely river that winds through our city. Boise has a thriving arts scene and is home to museums, the opera, ballet and theater.

Most of all, have fun!

We look forward to showing you the hospitality for which the state of Idaho and our people are famous.

On behalf of the people of Idaho, good luck to both teams. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As Always – Idaho, “Esto Perpetua”

WELCOME LETTER, FRANK W. MUIR

Dear Football and Potato Fans, On behalf of the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC), welcome to the Famous Idaho® Potato Bowl!

This game marks our third year as title sponsor and we couldn’t be more pleased with the success the bowl has experienced. We have seen some exciting finishes between great teams. We anticipate another thrilling game today between San Diego State and University at Buffalo. We welcome the Aztecs and Bulls and their family and fans to Idaho and to Boise.

One of the IPC’s primary responsibilities is to promote the potato that made Idaho famous and the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is the perfect way for us to showcase two of Idaho’s most famous icons: Idaho potatoes and the blue turf at Bronco stadium! Additionally, this sponsorship allows us to show our support for college athletics and host a top-ranked bowl game that will be viewed by millions of football fans across the country.

So enjoy the game and just make sure you always look for the “grown in Idaho” seal when preparing your favorite potato tailgating recipes!

Best of luck to both teams!

Sincerely,

Frank W. Muir President & CEO Idaho Potato Commission

oise, Idaho’s Capital City, offers a rare blend of urban amenities and hometown comfort with interesting and unique sites and attractions, inviting outdoors, unlimited recreation, diverse cultural offerings and a familyfriendly atmosphere.

Situated in Southwest Idaho at the foot of the scenic Boise Front, Boise is home to several Fortune 500 companies with national and international headquarters or divisions, sprawling high-tech campuses, Boise State University and other college satellite campuses and regional medical centers. Boise has a population of approximately 215,000, with nearly 600,000 in the metropolitan area.

Considered one of the nation’s most remote urban areas, Boise is 336 miles from Salt Lake City and 431 miles from Portland, its closest metropolitan neighbors.

The high-desert climate and warmth of the Snake River valley translates to a mild winter -- low humidity, minimal rainfall and an average of only 12 inches of snow annually. Summer visitors enjoy the same low humidity and rainfall numbers with warmer temperatures. The long summer days, with daylight lasting until after 9:30pm, allow plenty of time for outdoor recreation.

Whether a local or visitor, while in Boise for the game, plan to enjoy the city to its fullest. And make sure

to include Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area in your itinerary.

Bogus Basin is located just 16 miles north of Boise’s city center. It is the perfect, affordable winter activity for all ages. Bogus offers 2,600 acres of skiable terrain including nordic skiing on 37 km of groomed trails with 3.8 km of solar-lit trails; day and night downhill skiing and snowboarding on 53 groomed runs with an 1,800 ft. vertical drop; three graduated-level terrain parks; and the Pepsi GoldRush Tubing Hill. There are three lodges on the mountain. Childcare, rentals and lessons are available. Visitors staying at Boise hotels may take advantage of a special Stay and Play “Buy One alpine or nordic ticket and Get One Free”

promotion. Ask the front desk staff at your hotel for more information.

While fun in the snow is quite popular, there are several “must see” attractions and activities in the Boise area. Stroll along the Basque Block on Grove Street between Capitol Blvd. and 6th Street - for colorful Basque culture. Visit the Basque Museum and Boarding House for an interpretation of Boise’s Basque heritage. Try some Basque food and drink at Bar Gernika or Leku Ona or shop for Basque food and wine specialties at the Basque Market.

Just east of downtown is the Old Idaho Territorial Penitentiary, one of four territorial prisons still in existence in the U.S. The Old Pen housed many Wild West desperadoes in its time.

Built in 1870, it closed in 1973 following prisoner riots over living conditions.

The imposing sandstone compound includes a self-guided walking tour, transportation museum and the nation’s largest collections of historic arms and military memorabilia.

The Old Pen is flanked by the Idaho Botanical Gardens which is lit for the holidays with over 250,000 sparkling lights. Be dazzled by the spectacular display of color and light in the Garden - artistically arranged and beautifully designed. Enjoy hot refreshments, cookies and toasty bonfires while you revel in the holiday atmosphere.

Other outdoor interests located along the Boise River and connected by the Greenbelt include the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial near downtown and the M.K. Nature

UB VS. SDSU | DECEMBER 21ST, 2013

Center. The Memorial is an example of what can happen when a community and an entire state come together for a cause. The first in the United States to honor Anne Frank, the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial offers a lesson on courage, strength, dignity of human spirit and the value of human rights for all men and women, and will have a lasting impact on those who visit. The M.K. Nature Center offers a one-of-a-kind fish and wildlife experience on a 4.6-acre site. The Nature Center’s outdoor nature walk and indoor visitor center provide a glimpse of Idaho’s many landscapes and abundant wildlife through handson exhibits. Underwater viewing windows along the stream walk give visitors a “fish-eye” view of the world.

The Center is open from dawn to dusk and is a favorite among local and visiting families.

Back indoors at the World Center for Birds of Prey, visitors can see rare falcons and eagles up close and the inner workings of an endangered species program. This unique center on the outskirts of Boise is the most sophisticated facility in the world for breeding and releasing birds of prey. Interactive exhibits, hands-on displays and live birds make this a wonderful attraction. There are many more interesting attractions in the area including the Idaho Black History Museum, Idaho Historical Museum, Boise Art Museum, Zoo Boise and the Discovery Center of Idaho – a hands-on science museum – all located in Julia Davis Park.

If shopping and dining are favorite pastimes, you are sure to find your fill.

Downtown is jam-packed with boutiques, art galleries and restaurants.

The downtown streets, BoDo, the Linen District and nearby Hyde Park are home to numerous shops and boutiques selling casual and formal attire, decorative housewares, outdoor apparel, antiques, imported goods and much more. Boise also offers a regional shopping mall, top brand retailers and an outlet mall with over 25 stores.

More than 80 restaurants, coffee shops, brewpubs and cafes, many with cozy patios, line the streets of downtown, the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a meal with friends. Enjoy the nightlife? Many clubs and bars feature live bands and entertainment.

For those wishing to experience scenic beauty and more winter recreation, drive three hours to the northeast to the resort town of Sun Valley – home of the nation’s first commercial ski resort. The quaint town of McCall on beautiful Payette Lake and near Brundage Mountain Ski Resort, and the place where many Boiseans go to get away, is about 2 hours north on Hwy. 55.

GAME MATCHUP

T

he 17th annual Famous Idaho Potato Bowl will kick off Saturday, Dec. 21 at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Founded in 1997, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl has featured six of the last nine games decided by the final drive. Last year, Utah State was victorious in its 41-15 win over Toledo. This year’s competition will feature one of the best defensive units in the nation and a team with a proven will-to-win.

The longest-running outdoor

cold-weather bowl will welcome the University at Buffalo Bulls and the San Diego State Aztecs for the 2013 matchup.

The University at Buffalo Bulls finished the season 8-4 and 6-2 in Mid-Atlantic Conference play. The Bulls were undefeated at home this season, beginning with a five-overtime thriller against Stony Brook in the home opener. UB rattled off seven-straight wins for the first time since 1897. The 2013 season marks the second time the

Bulls have been bowl eligible as an NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program. The Bulls became eligible with prolific players on each side of the ball.

Senior outside linebacker Khalil Mack has not only set school and conference records, but NCAA records as well. A few weeks ago Mack was named the 2013 Jack Lambert Award recipient, given annually to the top linebacker in collegiate football.

After compiling 94 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, three

interceptions and two touchdowns this season, Mack was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year and a Butkus Award Finalist. He was UB’s first Butkus Award Finalist and the second UB player to earn an invitation to the senior bowl.

Along with his school and conference honors, Mack set two NCAA career records this season in tackles-for-loss (75) and forced fumbles (16). The Fort Pierce, Fla., native and two-star high school recruit earned first team all-conference MAC honors for the second consecutive season.

On the other side of the ball, quarterback Joe Licata and running back Branden Oliver lead the team in offensive statistical categories. Licata averages 200 yards passing and has 21 touchdown passes under his belt. Oliver averages 130 rushing yards per game and has 15 touchdowns this season. Oliver, the Miami native, has 3,935 career rushing yards, a Bulls record. He needs 65 more yards to hit the 4,000 mark, and would be the 13th player in MAC history to reach the milestone.

Head coach Jeff Quinn is in his fourth year at the helm of the Bulls’ program. Despite amassing a 9-27 record in his first three years, Quinn boasts eight wins this season and will look for his ninth against SDSU. The Bulls will look to stop the Mountain West Conference’s | 23 |

San Diego State, who is making their fourth-consecutive bowl appearance.

The SDSU Aztecs, who are 7-5 and 6-2 in conference play, began their season with threestraight losses. In their second game of the season, the Aztecs travelled to Columbus, Ohio, to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The then no. 3/2 Ohio State Buckeyes scored six touchdowns in their first nine drives to win 42-7.

SDSU returned home to face the Pac-12’s Oregon State. Despite holding the Beavers to 10 rushing yards for the game, Oregon State scored three times in the fourth quarter to come from behind and defeat SDSU 34-30.

The Aztecs earned their first win against New Mexico State, 26-16, and notched wins in their next two games, before falling to then-No.15 Fresno State, 3528 in overtime. SDSU went on to win its next four games, including an overtime win on senior night against Boise State, before falling to UNLV 45-19 in the final game of the regular season.

San Diego State tied a NCAA FBS record for four overtime games this season and won three of those contests. They tie 2004 Northwestern, 2008 Buffalo and 2012 Louisiana-Monroe.

The Aztecs are the 19th school in the last 33 seasons to earn seven wins in a season after opening with three straight losses.

SDSU won six of eight games with a seven or less point mar| 24 |

Quarterback Quinn Kaehler amassed 2,796 yards passing this season, averaging 254 per game. He’s thrown for 17 touchdowns this season and completed 60.1 of his passes. Kaehler came in for the injured Adam Dingwell during the first quarter of the Ohio State game, and has conducted the Aztec offense ever since.

Running back Adam Muema has rushed for 1,015 yards this season and leads the Aztecs with 12 touchdowns. The Covina, Calif., native has had a 100-yard rushing game in four of the past six contests. The Doak Walker Award candidate has 13 career

100-yard rushing games, which ties for fourth place in school history.

Wide receiver and special teams star Tim Vizzi is second in the nation in punt returns for a touchdown, with two. The Nov. 25 MW Special Teams Player of

the Week was also named the national CFPA Punt Returner of the Week. Vizzi returned a punt for a 41-yard touchdown in SDSU’s 34-31 overtime victory over Boise State. His punt return for a touchdown was the first for an Aztec since 2002.

Head coach Rocky Long is in his fifth season as a member of the San Diego State coaching staff and third as the head coach. As the first coach in SDSU history to lead the team to a bowl game in his first season, the Aztecs will make their fourth-consecutive bowl appearance this year.

San Diego State’s offensive line will look to stop UB’s prolific pass rusher Khalil Mack.

Like its predecessors, the 17th Famous Idaho Potato Bowl will be one to watch for all three phases of the game.

n December 8th, 2012, in New York City, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first freshman in college football history to take home the coveted Heisman Trophy. Manziel’s dynamic play helped propel Texas A&M to a 10-2 record and a berth in the Cotton Bowl, but it was the 19-year-old’s performance in an upset of then-No.1 Alabama in November that truly solidified his Heisman Trophy legitimacy.

Manziel’s monster season included several huge games both through the air and on the ground as he became the first ever freshman, first SEC player and only fifth player in FBS history to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. Manziel broke 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton’s Southeastern Conference record for total offense with 4,600 yards.

It was a magical ride for Manziel, who came out of spring practice as the back-up, but won the starting job in August just before the season kicked off. As the season progressed, Manziel started to put up numbers, but it was his performance on the road in Tuscaloosa against the Crimson Tide that brought “Johnny Football” national notoriety and put him on a clear path to Heisman history.

The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victories. The dramatic 2012 football season was capped as Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2013 NFL Draft, becoming the first football player from the MAC with such an honor.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

DANNY WHITE UB Director of Athletics

D

Daniel J. “Danny” White was named University at Buffalo Director of Athletics by President Satish K. Tripathi on May 8, 2012.

With an aggressive plan for the athletics program, White immediately laid the blueprint to capitalize on the unlimited potential of UB Athletics as the largest public institution in the state of New York and the flagship of the SUNY system. He has wasted little time putting his transformational plan in place, capitalizing on a vibrant student and alumni base that will craft his vision as the program is elevated to new heights.

A rising star in intercollegiate athletics, the former Notre Dame Basketball player and New Orleans native has quickly ascended in the ranks of college athletics leadership.

Since his arrival at The State University of New York at Buffalo, White has addressed coaching changes adding experience and depth through recent hires Felisha LegetteJack (women’s basketball), Sandy Calfo (rowing), Stu Riddle (men’s soccer), Bobby Hurley (men’s basketball), John Stutzman (wrestling) and Trena Peel (softball).

Through a collective effort of athletics senior administration, coaches and staff, White recently introduced a comprehensive strategic plan that will outline a path for success in the coming years. Most no-

tably the vision to build America’s next big time college athletics brand.

And only a year into his tenure, the plan has already begun to take shape.

White is overseeing a number of capital projects that will create new as well as upgraded facilities on the Athletics blueprint. These include the recently dedicated $1 million Murchie Family Football Center and soon to break ground, a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art Ortman Tennis Center. Also in the works is a transformational capital project, the first in the 20-year history of UB Stadium to include a sport medicine center and the new East Club, which will provide fans with unparalleled fan amenities in UB Stadium.

With the initiative to increase the fan base and enhance revenues, White also introduced a priority seating program for football with a new commitment to a vibrant fan experience on football game days. These moves included an upgraded Stampede Square fan interaction zone, corporate village tailgating area and a UB Football Tailgate Concert Series which will bring national recording artists to campus for pre-game concerts two hours before UB Football Saturday home games.

White has also been active on the external front most notably initiating a new three-year radio broadcast partnership deal with CBS Sports Radio THE FAN 1270 AM. With an aggressive mission to expand coverage into the metropolitan New York area where a significant alumni base resides, White also introduced plans for Bulls radio broadcast deals with both WFAN and Bloomberg.

White also engaged the services of global brand leader and Buffalo company New Era Cap to create an additional logo and branding platform that will further enhance the departments association and vast potential and connection to the State of New York.

In one of his most interesting and exciting moves, White announced that UB will be playing its first ever football game at Ralph Wilson Stadium – home of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. Known as the Clash at the Ralph, the Bulls’ game against Bowling Green will be the first college football game played at the stadium since 1979.

Prior to Buffalo, White served as senior associate athletics director at the Universi-

ty of Mississippi from 2009-12. From 200709, White was associate athletics director for development at California State University-Fresno. He was assistant athletics director for development at Northern Illinois University from 2006-07. White began his career in athletic administration as a development associate for the UMAA Foundation at Mississippi in 2005.

A collegiate basketball player at Towson University and the University of Notre Dame, White was director of basketball operations for men’s basketball at Ohio University for the 2003-04 season before being promoted to assistant men’s basketball coach for the 2004-05 campaign.

White is a 2002 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He earned master’s degrees in both business administration and sports administration from Ohio University. He is working to complete a doctorate in higher education from Mississippi.

White comes from a family deeply involved in intercollegiate athletics. His father, Kevin, is director of athletics at Duke. His brother, Michael, is the head men’s basketball coach and his brother, Brian, is the associate athletics director at Louisiana Tech.

He and his wife, Shawn, have four children: Aidan, Molly, Caitlin and James.

UB HEAD COACH

JEFF QUINN UB Head Coach

H

ead coach Jeff Quinn continues to mold the Buffalo football program into his vision since being hired on Dec. 22, 2009.

Quinn led the Bulls to an 8-4 record in 2013. The eight wins were the most in the regular season since the Bulls made the move to the FBS in 1999. The Bulls also won a school-record six Mid-American Conference games. The fourth-year head coach has led UB to just its second ever bowl game - the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Quinn has aided in the develpment of standout linebacker Khalil Mack, who was named the MAC Defensive Player of the Year as well as earned the Jack Lambert Award - given to the nation’s top linebacker.

The Bulls went 4-8 (3-5 MAC) in 2012, but it was the way UB ended the season that got fans excited. Buffalo won three of its last four games. The Bulls posted their best numbers in nearly every statistical category since Quinn’s arrival. UB rushed for 2,120 yards the third highest total in school history and the most as a Division I-A program. On the other side of the ball, the Bulls ranked second in the MAC in total defense.

Quinn led the Bulls to a 3-9 record (2-6 MAC) in 2011 with some record-breaking performances. Running back Branden Oliver set the single-season rushing record with 1,395 yards. He coached a pair of first-team All-MAC selections in Oliver and linebacker Khalil Mack.

The Bulls became more comfortable with Quinn’s system in year two and the numbers reflected it. UB averaged eight more points and 68 more yards of total offense per game than in 2010. Buffalo had 13 plays of 40 or more yards in 2011 - the most in its Division I era.

In 2010, the Bulls finished 2-10 in his first season, with a 1-7 mark in MAC play. Despite the record, the Bulls boasted one of their best defenses in their Division I history in 2010 as efensive backs Davonte Shannon and Domonic Cook earned All- MAC First Team honors, while linebacker Khalil Mack was named to Phil Steele’s 2010 Postseason All-Freshman Team.

Quinn was introduced as the 24th head coach in the history of the University at Buffalo football program by former Director of Athletics Warde Manuel on Dec. 22.

Quinn has produced record-breaking offenses throughout his 27-year college coaching tenure and has won conference and national championships at his last three stops, including five conference crowns in the past eight seasons.

As offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Cincinnati for the past three seasons, Quinn has helped the Bearcats compile a 33-6 record, including a 12-0 record in 2009 and a national No. 4 ranking heading into the Sugar Bowl meeting with defending national champion Florida.

Quinn was named one of five finalists for the 2009 Broyles Award, which is given to the nation’s top assistant coach. Unranked in preseason polls, Cincinnati’s undefeated regular season catapulted the Bearcats to No. 3 in the BCS standings and earned them an invitation to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the school’s second consecutive BCS game. UC set numerous school records in 2009, including those for wins (12), road wins (6), consecutive regular season wins (18), points (495), passing yards (3,844), fewest fumbles (10) and fewest turnovers (10).

Behind Quinn’s offensive line, the Bearcats have had an individual top the 100yard plateau in six of the last eight games and eight out of 12 games overall. UC has topped 200-yards rushing on three occasions and has set the school record for points and touchdowns. Offensive tackle Jeff Linkenbach was a midseason selection to the SI.com all-America squad.

UC leads the nation in passing efficiency (166.19) despite using five different quarterbacks through the course of the season.

The Bearcats rank sixth in passing offense (320.3), scoring offense (39.8), and total offense (464.3) and 10th in sacks allowed (0.9) behind Quinn’s coordination of the offense.

Eleven UC student-athletes were honored as all- BIG EAST selections, including four out of Quinn’s five starting offensive linemen. Chris Jurek (1st), Alex Hoffman (2nd), Jason Kelce (2nd), and Linkenbach (2nd) earned all-BIG EAST honors in 2009.

No stranger to the Mid-American Conference and its recruiting footprint, Quinn served

as associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Central Michigan prior to his stint at Cincinnati and helped lead the Chippewas to the 2006 MAC title. He served as interim head coach for Central Michigan’s 31-14 victory over Middle Tennessee in the 2006 Motor City Bowl prior to joining the UC staff.

He arrived at CMU in 2004 after 15 seasons at Grand Valley State. He was part of the staff that led the Lakers to back-to-back national championships in 2002 and 2003. The 2001 Laker offense averaged 600.8 yards and set an NCAA record by averaging 58.4 points per game.

During his career, Quinn has coached 12 offensive linemen who have played in the professional ranks, including first, fourth, fifth, and seventh round NFL Draft choices, as well as 22 players who have earned All-America status.

UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO

BULLS FOOTBALL RECAP

UFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo football team has had a record-breaking season on and off the field in 2013. The Bulls finished the regular season 8-4 and earned an invitation to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, just their second bowl appearance in school history.

Fans came out in record numbers as the 136,418 paid attendance in 2013 shattered the previous mark of 108,118 set in 2011. This year, the Bulls averaged 22,736 fans per game, with five games over the 20,000 mark. To put that in perspective,

UB had a total of five games of 20,000 or more fans over the previous six seasons, combined.

One of UB Athletic Director Danny White’s goals when taking the job last year was to create a vibrant tailgate atmosphere at UB Stadium. His vision resulted in Stampede Square, a familyfriendly entertainment area that included food, games and activities for all ages.

Stampede Square was also the home of the Tailgate Concert Series, which was a very popular addition to the game day festivities. Each week, awardwinning national music acts took

the stage to perform. Bands such as Kool and the Gang, Blues Traveler and Randy Houser rocked Stamped Square in the hours leading up to kick off.

Once inside the stadium, fans were treated to one of the most entertaining seasons of football in school history. The Bulls won eight regular season games, the most as an FBS program. Starting

BULLS FOOTBALL RECAP

with a thrilling five-overtime victory against Stony Brook in the home opener, UB rattled off seven straight wins, a feat last accomplished way back in 1897.

In addition, Buffalo won all five games played at UB Stadium.

UB has had standout players and performances at nearly

every position on the field.

Offensively, running back Branden Oliver has shattered James Starks’ school record with 3,935 career rushing yards.

He has saved his finest season for his senior campaign as he broke his own single-season school record with 1,421 yards and has scored 15 touchdowns in 2013.

Oliver is 65 yards shy of becoming just the 13th player in Mid-American Conference history to rush for 4,000 yards.

Another senior standout on offense is Alex Neutz. The Grand Island native broke the school

record for career receiving touchdowns with 30 and currently ranks third in school history in career receptions (191) and career receiving yardage (3,017). Neutz is the first UB player with 10 or more touchdown receptions in two different seasons.

The emergence of sophomore quarterback Joe Licata played a large part in the gaudy numbers put up by the offense. Licata has thrown 20 touchdowns in 2013, the second most for a single season in school history. His 220 completions and 2,628 passing yards, both rank fourth in UB

BULLS FOOTBALL RECAP history for a single season. He had one of the finest games of any quarterback to ever wear the blue and white when he threw for a school-record 497 yards and four touchdowns at Toledo on November 12.

The defense is led by linebacker Khalil Mack - one of the very best in the nation to play the position.

When football fans leaf through

the NCAA record book, they will find Mack’s name at the top of two different record lists. His 16 career forced fumbles are two more than any other player in the sport’s history. Mack also shares the NCAA record for career tackles for loss with 75. He is the school’s first ever Butkus Award finalist and just the second player in UB history to earn an invitation to the Senior Bowl.

Mack has spearheaded a defensive attack that has allowed just 268 points on the season, the fewest in its FBS era. The Bulls blanked Western Michigan on October 12 for just its second ever shutout of a MAC opponent and first road shutout since 1965. UB has held three opponents to without a touchdown this season.

rom its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for studentathletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 15th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics.

The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 14 years of existence, most notably

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY

becoming the first to establish a sports television network dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first nonautomatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three.

Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999.

In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-ofthe-art basketball instant replay system.

The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West

boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders five MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State, New Mexico and Utah State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, respectively, while Fresno State, San Diego State and San Jose State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central, Southern and Northern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Emerald Bowl in San Francisco in 2002.

Entering the 2013 season, the MW has six contracted bowl affiliations – the Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, Famous Potato Idaho Bowl and Gildan New Mexico Bowl.

An innovator in the postseason bowl structure, the MW engineered many “firsts,” as league teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games (2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans, 2002 San Francisco (Emerald), 2005 Poinsettia, 2006 New Mexico), as well as placing the first non-automaticqualifying BCS team into a BCS bowl game with Utah’s appearance in the 2005 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

HISTORY The Mountain West was conceived on May 26, 1998, when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic conference.

The split from a former 16-team conference re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, longstanding athletic rivalries. Three of the MW’s eight original members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV and TCU entered the fold in 1996 and the Rebels continued as one of the original eight institutions that formed the MW in 1999. TCU rejoined the group with its first year of competition in the Mountain West in 2005-06. With conference realignment sweeping the nation in recent years, the MW has been proactive in addressing

membership changes. Boise State University joined the Mountain West in 2011-12, followed by Fresno State and the University of Nevada on July 1, 2012.

Also on July 1, 2012, the University of Hawai‘i became a football-only member of the Conference. On July 1, 2013, the Mountain West further expanded when San Jose State University and Utah State University joined the Conference, bringing to 11 the number of full-time member institutions and 12 footballplaying members.

When the Mountain West officially began operations on July 1, 1999, the new league had in place a sevenyear contract with ESPN, giving the broadcaster exclusive national television rights to MW football and men’s basketball, and three-year agreements to send the league’s football champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Las Vegas Bowl. Commissioner Craig Thompson also arranged a third bowl tie-in each of the first three seasons (1999 Motor City, 2000 Silicon Valley, 2001 New Orleans) before securing a four-year deal with the | 66 |

F

from its modest beginning in 1897 as a teachers’ school perched above a downtown drugstore, San Diego State University has evolved into a major research university and an integral partner of the community it serves.

It is difficult to imagine San Diego without San Diego State University. More community leaders within the San Diego region received their education at SDSU than at any other institution. In fact, about half of the university’s 260,000 living alumni have chosen to put their knowledge and skills to work right here, invigorating nearly every facet of San Diego’s professional and community life.

SDSU and its graduates continue to drive progress and innovation with ground-breaking scientific discoveries and region-specific public health and environmental research. SDSU faculty were awarded $145 million in research funding last year – more than two University of California campuses. Students benefit from opportunities to engage in research alongside teacher/scholars who are at the leading edge of their fields.

SDSU’s urban, cosmopolitan campus reflects the healthy diversity of our region – 52 percent of our undergraduates are students of color. Students from all walks of life and 125 nations contribute

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

JIM STERK SDSU Director of Athletics

J

im Sterk enters his fourth season as the University’s Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, having already left an indelible mark on San Diego State. He has overseen the most successful three seasons in San Diego State athletic history. In terms of on-the-field accomplishments, the Aztecs have won 17 conference team championships since the beginning of the 2011-12 academic year, and in the classroom, there have been a record number of scholar-athletes on The Mesa. In addition, Sterk oversaw SDSU’s record-breaking fundraising campaign this past season.

In terms of competitive success, San Diego State continues to set itself apart, compiling the second-highest combined winning percentage in the country in football and men’s basketball since the beginning of the 2010-11 season at 75.7 percent (109-35). SDSU is one of only two schools in the state of California to advance to bowl games each of the last three years (Stanford) and was one of only 17 schools nationwide to have its men’s basketball program advance to each of the last four NCAA tournaments.

The overall success of the program can best be demonstrated by the fact that a

then school-record nine athletic teams advanced to postseason play and scored postseason points in NCAA competition in 2011-12. Two of those programs - men’s golf and women’s outdoor track & field finished among the nation’s top 10.

During the 2012-13 academic year, Aztec teams have won 12 conference titles, one year after winning five league titles.

In his tenure, Sterk has watched six different San Diego State sports finish in the top 25 at NCAA championships, including four sports which finished in the top 10 of their NCAA championship.

Since arriving at San Diego State in February 2010, Sterk, 57, has led the Aztec athletic department to fiscal stability. Despite state cutbacks, he has ended each of his first three years at SDSU in the black, and athletic department fundraising is at an all-time high.

His impact has also been felt throughout the department, as he has hired or extended the contract of 15 current head coaches at San Diego State. The current collection of Aztec head coaches have combined to earn 33 conference coach-of-the-year honors.

Sterk’s vision of a program that competes with the nation’s best on the field, and one that takes a back seat to no one in the classroom, is well on its way to becoming a reality.

This past April, a school-record 305 individuals were honored as scholar student-athletes at the traditional year-end banquet, bettering the mark set in Sterk’s second year on The Mesa.

Sterk came to SDSU from Washington State University, where he served as athletic director since 2000. Prior to his hiring at WSU, he was the AD at Portland State University from 1995 to 2000.

Sterk also has a solid reputation and the respect of his peers across the country.

The NCAA recognized him in 2006 as the Division IA Athletic Directors’ “Program of Excellence.”

He oversaw a period of unparalleled success at Washington State with historic accomplishments both on and off the field.

In his last three years at WSU, 13 Cou-

gar teams competed in NCAA postseason tournaments, including back-to-back trips by the men’s basketball team (2007 and 2008), while women’s rowing earned five NCAA championship bids, including a fourth-place finish in 2006, the highest finish ever by a WSU women’s team in NCAA competition Sterk graduated from Western Washington University in 1980, where he earned four letters in football and one in basketball. He was credited with a school-record 164 tackles during the 1977 season, garnering first-team NAIA District I all-star accolades. He was named team captain and MVP, helping the Vikings to the district championship game. On Feb. 6, 2010, Sterk was inducted into Western Washington’s Athletics Hall of Fame for his success in football.

Sterk received his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University. In addition to SDSU, Washington State and Portland State, his professional career has also included positions at North Carolina, Maine, Seattle Pacific and Tulane.

Sterk and his wife Debra have three children: Ashley (24), Amy (21), and Abby (18).

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY

SDSU HEAD COACH

ROCKY LONG SDSU Head Coach

I

n the 14-year history of the Mountain West, no football coach is more synonymous with success than Aztec head coach Rocky Long.

Named San Diego State’s 18th head coach on Jan. 12, 2011, he is in his third year at the helm of the Aztecs. He continues his role as the squad’s defensive coordinator, a position that he also held when he first arrived on campus in 2009.

Long is the winningest head coach in the history of the Mountain West and has helped usher in two of the biggest turnarounds at MW schools - New Mexico and San Diego State.

Over the last four-plus seasons, Long helped institute a hard-nosed, blue-collar, physical-style of football on Montezuma Mesa that revitalized a football program that had been struggling to find an identity for decades.

In December of 2008, Long inherited one of the worst defensive units statistically in the country. That season, the Aztecs went 2-10 and posted one victory over a FBS team. The team’s defense allowed an average of 37.2 points, 460.8 yards, 247.5 rushing yards and had a passing efficiency defense rating of 151.5. San Diego State also ranked among the bottom eight nationally in all four of those categories, allowing 35 or more points in seven of its final eight games of the season.

Enter Long and his attacking 3-3-5 defense and the improvement was immediate. Despite employing a drastically different style, Long, in his first year as SDSU’s defensive

coordinator in 2009, managed to shave more than a touchdown a game off the team’s average points allowed and took more than 78 yards per outing off of the total offense allowed figure.

In 2010, Long built a top-40 defense that ceded 20 points or less six times, as the Aztecs posted a winning record for the first time in 12 years, claimed nine victories for the first time since 1977, and captured a bowl victory for the first time since 1969.

The 2011 campaign was no different, as he became the first Aztec head coach to lead the team to a bowl game in his debut season.

SDSU compiled an 8-5 record, including its first 3-0 start in 30 years, while also snapping a 19-game losing streak against Pac-10/12 foes and a 23-game skid vs. schools from automatic qualifying BCS conferences.

Last season, Long garnered his second Mountain West Coach of the Year award after guiding the Aztecs to their first conference championship since 1998 and an unprecedented third straight bowl appearance.

Despite a modest fifth-place prediction in the MW preseason poll, Long and SDSU closed out the regular season by winning seven straight games, matching the program’s longest victory streak since 1980-81.

During that stretch, the Aztecs ranked fifth in the nation, allowing just 4.7 yards per play, while limiting the opposition to 19 points or less on five occasions.

Long had already made the transition from defensive coordinator to head coach once before, as he directed New Mexico to unparalleled success from 1998-2008. During those 11 years, Long compiled a 65-69 record, including seven seasons with six victories or more.

To put that accomplishment in perspective, consider that since 1984, the Lobos are 56143 with only three six-plus win seasons in the 17 campaigns without Long at the helm.

At New Mexico, Long compiled a school-record 65 victories and led the Lobos to five bowl game appearances in his final seven seasons, despite inheriting a team that had only three winning seasons the previous 15 years. His teams were also bowl eligible in seven of his final eight campaigns.

Long, the 2002 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, has earned a national reputation for producing one of the nation’s stingiest defensive units. In his final nine campaigns in Albuquerque, Long’s defensive units ranked among the top 30 in fewest yards allowed six times and among the top 40 nationally against the rush every year. In addition, six times his units were among the top 26 in fewest rushing yards allowed per

game, including fifth-place finishes in both 2001 and 2003.

While at New Mexico, Long coached 13 players selected in the NFL Draft, 10 players who earned All-America honors and 44 firstteam all-conference selections. In addition, four Lobos garnered Academic All-America accolades five times during his tenure.

And Long does not mince words when describing what his vision for his San Diego State football program is.

“Everybody should anticipate that this program eventually will be competing for conference championships, year-in and yearout,” Long said. “Now, how many you win is determined by a whole lot of factors, but we ought to be able to get to the point where we compete yearly for it.”

Prior to accepting the head coaching position at New Mexico, Long served as defensive coordinator for 12 seasons at three different schools. He was the defensive coordinator for two years under Bob Toledo at UCLA in 1996-97, for five seasons at Oregon State from 1991-95, and for five campaigns at Wyoming from 1981-85.

He also served as an assistant coach at TCU and the CFL’s British Columbia Lions after starting his career at New Mexico as a graduate assistant coach in 1972.

Originally a defensive back, Long became a three-year starter at quarterback for the Lobos from 1969-71. He earned team MVP honors three times and was the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year as a senior.

He is a 1974 graduate of New Mexico and was awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship.

2013 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY

AZTECS FOOTBALL RECAP GAME 1 vs. EASTERN ILLINOIS

GAME 2 at NO. 2/3 OHIO STATE

GAME 3 vs. OREGON STATE

SAN DIEGO - Eastern Illinois spoiled San Diego State’s season-opener by scoring three unanswered touchdowns in the second half to pull away for a 40-19 victory in front of 42,978 fans at Qualcomm Stadium.

Aztec quarterback Adam Dingwell posted career-highs of 27 completions and 318 passing yards to go along with a school-record 63 attempts. However, the junior signal-caller threw four interceptions and lost a fumble as the Panthers converted three of those miscues into touchdowns to help secure the upset.

SDSU scored on the opening drive as Wes Feer booted the first of his four field goals on night, before EIU responded with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jimmy Garoppolo to Erik Lora with 11:14 to go in the first quarter.

The Aztecs reclaimed the lead on their ensuing possession when wide receiver Colin Lockett sprinted 48 yards to paydirt on a reverse, putting the host school up 10-7. Feer then added another field goal from 35 yards out later in the period to extend the Aztec advantage to 13-7.

Garoppolo, who finished the game with 361 yards on 31-of-46 attempts, threw a pair of TD passes in the second quarter, a 4-yard toss to Lora and a 62-yard strike to Keiondre Gober, thrusting the visitors in front by a 19-13 margin after both conversions attempts went awry.

With time winding down in the half, Eric Pinkins’ fumble return gave SDSU the ball in Panther territory. However, the Aztecs had to settle for a field goal when their subsequent drive stalled at the 5-yard line, giving the contest its 19-16 score at intermission.

After holding EIU to a three-and-out to start the third quarter, SDSU knotted the game at 1919 when Feer connected from 38 yards away with just over four minutes elapsed. However, the Panthers took the ball and marched 75 yards in 12 plays, taking the lead for good when running back Taylor Duncan scored on a two-yard run with 7:36 remaining in the period After limiting the Aztecs to just four plays on their next possession, Sheperd Little returned the ensuing punt 60 yards to put EIU up 33-19 early in the fourth quarter. Later in the period, Duncan closed out the scoring with a 45-yard touchdown burst with 4:40 left.

Despite maintaining a nearly 16-minute advantage in time of possession and running the fourth-most plays from scrimmage in school history (99), SDSU was outgained 533-440 in total offense.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Making its first appearance in Ohio Stadium since 2005, San Diego State came up on the short end of 42-7 decision against No. 3/2 Ohio State in front of 104,984 fans. The Buckeyes scored six touchdowns on their first nine drives to build an insurmountable lead and maintained a 263-64 advantage in Junior quarterback Quinn Kaehler made his Aztec debut, completing 22 of 36 passes for 216 yards with one touchdown and one interception after replacing an injured Adam Dingwell late in the first quarter. The transfer from Diablo Valley College went 4-4 on SDSU’s lone scoring drive, connecting with wide receivers Ezell Ruffin and Colin Lockett for a pair of 18-yard receptions following a 17-yard completion to tight end Adam Roberts. Freshman running back Donnel Pumphrey then gained 17 yards on two carries before Kaehler hit fullback Chad Young on 2-yard swing pass to cap the 11-play, 66-yard march with 2:54 remaining in the third quarter.

Kaehler also directed a 10-play 62-yard drive late in the second half, fueled by two 17-yard strikes to reserve tight end Robert Craighead and Ruffin. However, the Aztecs came up empty after reaching the Ohio State 2, as Kaehler’s short toss to Ruffin was broken up by Doran Grant in the end zone with no time left on the clock.

Still, Ruffin finished with a career-high six receptions for 80 yards, while Lockett added six catches for 58 yards. Lockett also returned five kickoffs for 105 yards to become SDSU’s alltime leader in kickoff return yardage.

The Buckeyes opened the scoring on their initial possession, driving 50 yards on eight plays, as Dontre Wilson found the end zone on a 7-yard sweep. Following an OSU interception and an exchange of punts, the Buckeyes put together another scoring march, culminating in a 27-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Guiton to Corey Brown. The Ohio State duo also combined on a 24-yard scoring strike in the third quarter that gave the host school a 42-0 cushion.

Guiton passed for 152 yards on 21-of-30 attempts with two TDs and an interception after relieving injured starter Braxton Miller in the first quarter. Guiton also added 83 yards on the ground, highlighted by a 44-yard TD run on a quarterback keeper in the second quarter.

The Aztec defense was led by Vaness Harris, who posted eight tackles, including four solo stops, in his first start of the season, while Damontae Kazee made six unassisted tackles of his own. Kazee, a redshirt freshman, also recorded his first collegiate interception in the second quarter.

SAN DIEGO - Sean Mannion threw three touchdowns and Oregon State scored three times in the fourth quarter to come from behind and defeat San Diego State 34-30.

After Mannion hit Terron Ward for a 10-yard score to pull Oregon State within 30-28, cornerback Steven Nelson intercepted Quinn Kaehler’s pass and returned it 16 yards to give the Beavers the lead with 2:38 remaining in the game.

Kaehler, who was making his first career start and became just the second walk-on quarterback in the country to start in 2013, was intercepted again on the next possession by Ryan Murphy to seal the win for the Beavers.

The Aztecs took a 7-0 lead on their opening possession when Kaehler found true freshman Donnel Pumphrey on a screen pass for a 23yard touchdown, the first of Pumphrey’s career.

OSU responded with back-to-back touchdowns. First, Terron Ward scored on a 1-yard run and then Mannion connected on a 2-yard pass to Kellen Clute.

In SDSU’s ensuing possession, Kaehler found a streaking Colin Lockett, who evaded a tackle at midfield and scored for an 80-yard play. It was the longest catch by an Aztec since 2010.

In the second quarter, San Diego State used a career-long 45-yard field goal by Wes Feer and a 2-yard run by Adam Muema to take open up a 24-14 lead at the half.

Feer made it 27-14 Aztecs with a 40-yard field goal with 1:55 left in the third quarter.

The Beavers answered in the fourth with a 10-play, 65-yard drive, capped by a 2-yard pass from Mannion to Kevin Cummings.

Feer made another field for with 5:18 left to put SDSU up, 30-21, but Ward’s 10-yard TD reception and the Nelson interception return for a score sealed the win for OSU. Kaehler completed 16 of 24 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns after taking over the starting job when Adam Dingwell injured his back last week against Ohio State. His pass efficiency rating of 158.74 was the highest by an Aztec quarterback in their starting debut since Kevin McKechnie had a 291.82 mark on Sept.

5, 1997, against Navy. The 30 points that SDSU scored was also its most in an Aztec quarterback debut since that 1997 game, when SDSU beat the Midshipmen, 45-31.

Lockett finished with five catches for 113 yards, the fourth 100-yard game of his career, and Muema rushed a career-high 28 times for 71 yards and a touchdown.

King Holder had a career-high 11 tackles and a career-best two PBUs to pace the San Diego State defense. Nat Berhe added nine tackles and Eric Pinkins recorded eight stops.

Both teams were penalized heavily as Oregon State committed 13 penalties for 99 yards and the Aztecs committed nine penalties for 87 yards.

Mannion completed 38 of 55 attempts for 367 yards, and the Oregon State rushing game was held to just 10 yards.

Pumphrey rushed for a career-high 167 yards on 19 carries, while Quinn Kaehler completed 22 of 34 passes for 229 yards to help the Aztecs (13) post their first victory of the season and keep the Aggies (0-5) winless on the year. With the triumph, SDSU has now captured the last seven meetings against NMSU and raised its record to 9-1-1 in the all-time series.

But it wasn’t easy. The Aztecs watched the Aggies open with 16 unanswered points, while Pumphrey was held to just 14 yards on four rushes before intermission. The SDSU running back took charge in the second half, however, exploding for 153 yards to finish with the highest rushing yardage by an Aztec freshman since Ronnie Hillman gained 228 in the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl.

The Aztecs quickly stole the momentum, however, as David Lamar scooped up Sam Meredith’s blocked extra point and raced 89 yards for a two-point defensive conversion, which narrowed the gap to 16-2.

Buoyed by its good fortune, the SDSU offense began to assert itself at this juncture. After netting just 12 yards on 10 plays during its first four possessions, the Aztecs racked up 429 yards the rest of the way, beginning with a 68-yard drived capped by a Wes Feer 25-yard field goal, which cut the margin to 16-5 with 6:41 elapsed in the second quarter.

SDSU put together another long march on its first series of the second half and once again and found itself in a fourth down situation from the Aggie 22. Disdaining a field-goal attempt, Kaehler’s pass was intercepted by Greg Callender at the 11, but an NMSU holding penalty nullified the turnover. Given new life, the Aztecs scored on the next play when Pumphrey swept around right end for 12 yards into the end zone, which narrowed the gap to 16-11. Although Kaehler was intercepted on the ensuing two-point conversion try, SDSU had wrested the momentum away from the Aggies, limiting the hosts to just three first downs for the remainder of the contest.

The Aztecs then took the lead for the first time when Pumphrey scored on a two-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter to complete an eight-play, 60-yard drive. Later in the period, Pumphrey sealed the win on a 43-yard dash with 2:51 left on the clock.

SDSU held NMSU to 40 yards rushing on 27 attempts and came away with three sacks. Individually, Josh Gavert tied a career-high with seven tackles, while Eric Pinkins recorded his second fumble recovery of the season and third of his career.

SAN DIEGO - Quinn Kaehler hit Eric Judge with a 13-yard touchdown pass on the fifth play of overtime to lift San Diego State to a thrilling 51-44 triumph over Nevada in its 2013 Mountain West opener last Friday at Qualcomm Stadium.

The 95 combined points marked the highest scoring game the Aztecs have won in the Division-I era, which dates back to 1969.

Adam Muema rushed for 134 on 24 carries with two touchdowns, while Donnel Pumphrey added 112 yards of his own, including a season-long 72-yard burst on SDSU’s first possession that put the host school in front, 7-0.

The Wolf Pack evened the score later in the period on a Kendall Brock 1-yard plunge to cap a 13-play, 75-yard drive, setting the stage for a wild second quarter that witnessed three lead changes.

Trailing 17-14 with 46 seconds to go before halftime, the Aztecs pulled to within one when Nevada punter Chase Tenpenny booted the ball out of the end zone for a safety following a bad snap. After the ensuing free kick, SDSU promptly drove into Wolf Pack territory, where Kaehler connected with Dylan Denso for 25-yard scoring strike with just nine ticks on the clock, giving the Scarlet and Black a 23-17 advantage heading into the locker room.

The Aztecs tacked on three additional touchdowns in the third quarter, converting a pair of Wolf Pack fumbles into short scoring runs by Muema and Tim Vizzi, while Kaehler hooked up with Judge on a 5-yard strike to punctuate a 9-play, 65-yard march late in the period that provided SDSU a seemingly comfortable 44-23 cushion.

However, Nevada fought back with 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, including a 5-yard touchdown pass from Cody Fajardo to Richy Turner with 1:38 left in regulation to tie the score at 44-44.

SDSU won the overtime coin toss and ran five plays to reclaim the lead. Muema gained 12 yards on a screen pass and pair of runs before Kaehler found Judge in the back of the end zone for the go-ahead score.

Despite allowing 206 yards during the Wolf Pack’s frantic fourth-quarter rally, the Aztec defense clamped down on Nevada’s overtime possession. After a false start penalty and a fouryard rush by Brock, SDSU forced three straight Fajardo incompletions to seal the victory.

In his first collegiate start in place of an injured Colin Lockett, Judge caught 6 passes for 54 yards and added 4 kickoff returns for 78 yards, while Kaehler was 23-for-32 passing with a career-high 286 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensively, four of the Aztecs’ top-five tacklers posted career-bests, including Derek Largent (10), Malik Smith (10), Josh Gavert (9) and Nick Tenhaeff (8).

USAF ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) - Quinn Kaehler threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and Donnel Pumphrey scored on a 10-yard run with 1:39 remaining, helping San Diego State rally for a 27-20 victory over Air Force in a contest that was played despite the partial government shutdown.

Down by 14 heading into the fourth quarter, the Aztecs (3-3, 2-0 Mountain West) scored 21 straight points to escape with the win after missing two extra points and a field goal. San Diego State is 2-151-1 in program history when trailing by 14 or more points in the final quarter.

Kaehler finished 15 of 26 for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Pumphrey had 117 yards rushing along with another 43 receiving and a score.

Backup Nate Romine scored on a 16-yard run and threw a 71-yard TD pass for the Falcons (16, 0-5) in a game they didn’t know would even be staged until it was given the official go-ahead about 27 hours before kickoff.

Will Conant made two long field goals, including a 52-yarder that bounced in off the left upright. His counterpart, Wes Feer, had a field goal and an extra point clang away no good off the same left goal post.

When Kaehler hit Pumphrey for a 20-yard TD early in the fourth quarter to begin San Diego State’s comeback, coach Rocky Long sent out backup kicker Seamus McMorrow, who made the extra point.

A few plays later, Kaehler found a wide open Ezell Ruffin for a 62-yard score. But McMorrow had his point-after attempt blocked by Troy Timmerman, making it 20-19.

After forcing the Falcons to punt, Kaehler marched the Aztecs down the field and Pumphrey punctuated the winning drive with a run up the middle for a score. Kaehler threw a pass to Tim Vizzi for the 2-point conversion.

Of the 45 schools that opened 0-3 since 2010, the Aztecs join only Houston (2012) as the only teams to even its record at 3-3 after six contests.

Romine received the call to go in shortly after starter Karson Roberts came off the field in the first quarter with an undisclosed injury. Romine directed a scoring drive in his first series, capping it off with a 16-yard TD run early in the second quarter.

San Diego State controlled the clock and outgained the Falcons in the first half, only to trail 10-6 when Conant connected on a 48-yard field goal on the last play before halftime.

The Aztecs took an early lead after Kaehler found a wide open Eric Judge for a 44-yard score. But Wes Feer’s extra-point attempt hit the left upright and bounded away. Earlier in the quarter, Feer’s 37-yard field goal try clanged off the left goal post.

It was that kind of half for San Diego State.

Adam Muema had a fumble, Kaehler threw an interception off the hands of Muema and Pumphrey was stopped at the 1 on fourth down by Air Force safety Christian Spears.

For a third straight week, the Falcons let a halftime lead slip away.

After forcing a Lobo punt, which was downed on the Aztec 4, SDSU marched 96 yards on nine plays over 4:13, culminating with a 4-yard touchdown run by Muema.

UNM answered on its ensuing possession when Teriyon Gipson took it 20 yards across the goal line to get UNM on the scoreboard.

The Lobos quickly got to the SDSU’s 7 on their first possession of the third quarter, but San Diego State’s defense held firm, allowing just a 20yard field goal by Justus Adams.

The Aztecs answered with an 8-play, 71-yard drive, highlighted by a 33-yard run by Muema and ending when Kaehler found Ruffin for a 24yard strike on a 3rd and 8 play.

UNM responded with a 6-play, 72-yard drive and 18-yard touchdown scamper by Crusoe Gongbay to get New Mexico back to within four at 21-17 after the end of three quarters.

The Lobos continued to fight, marching 72 yards on eight plays over 3:22 before Gipson scored his second touchdown of the game on a 5-yard run. Down by five, UNM went for the 2-point conversion, but Kasey Carrier was stopped by Nat Berhe at the goal line.

San Diego State won its sixth straight Mountain West game following a MW loss.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Diego State rallied with a 22-point fourth quarter to come from behind to defeat San José State, 34-30, at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, Calif.

The Aztecs, who trailed by 14 (20-6) in the first half and by 11 (23-12) after three quarters, exploded for 22 points in the final quarter, their most in the final quarter in the Mountain West era (since 1999).

The momentum changed in the game when Damontae Kazee blocked an Austin Lopez field goal attempt early in the fourth quarter, which allowed Nat Berhe to return the ball 56 yards to the SJSU 34. On the ensuing play, Donnel Pumphrey scampered 34 yards down the sideline for the touchdown, followed by a Quinn Kaehler to Dylan Denso 2-point conversion pass to get SDSU to within three points at 23-20.

San José State, however, answered with a 9 play, 83-yard drive, ending with a 12-yard pass from David Fales to Tim Crawley.

Down by 10, San Diego State responded by marching 74 yards on seven plays in just 2:19, culmination with a 1-yard TD pass from Kaehler to Adam Roberts.

SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY

AZTECS FOOTBALL RECAP GAME 10 at HAWAI’I

GAME 11 vs. BOISE STATE

GAME 12 at UNLV

HONOLULU - Adam Muema rushed 163 yards to lead San Diego State to another come-frombehind victory over Hawai’i at Aloha Stadium.

The win was the sixth of the season for the Aztecs, who became bowl eligible for the fourth consecutive season after failing to make a bowl the previous 11 years.

SDSU rallied from a 7-point deficit three times in the game and won its fourth straight contest when trailing at the half.

Down 21-14 with 6:20 left, San Diego State put together an 8-play, 82-yard drive over 3:50, culminating with a 14-yard touchdown run by Chad Young.

The Aztec defense then forced the Warriors to punt with 54 seconds left. Starting on its own 28, SDSU got into UH territory when Quinn Kaehler found Dylan Denso with a 19-yard pass on a 3rd and 8. Denso, however, fumbled the ball, giving Hawai’i a last chance to end the game in regulation. The Warriors’ Hail Mary at the end of regulation was knocked down by San Diego State’s Nat Berhe, forcing overtime for the third time this year and fourth time in 16 contests.

As they had done for most of the game, the Aztecs let Muema and the offensive line do the work. Muema ran it three times for 25 yards on the overtime drive with rushes of 11 yards and 12 yards before ending with a 2-yard score.

The PAT by Seamus McMorrow put SDSU up by seven.

After a no gain by Joey Iosefa, San Diego State’s Eric Pinkins sacked UH quarterback Sean Schroeder, forcing a 3rd and 20. The Aztecs then forced Schroeder into throwing two more incompletions, sealing the win for SDSU. Down, 14-7, at halftime, the Aztecs put together a 8-play, 78-yard drive on their first opening possession, gaining all 78 yards on the ground and taking advantage of a roughing the kicker by a Warrior player on 4th down. Donnel Pumphrey officially tied it at 14-14 on a 30-yard touchdown run down the left side of the field.

UH took its third lead of the game to start the fourth quarter, going 86 yards on 16 plays and taking up 7:17 of clock time before Schroeder found Iosefa for an 8-yard touchdown on a dump pass on 3rd and 6.

Muema finished with 163 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts (6.8 avg.), his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game, fifth of the season and 13th of his career.

Lockett picked up his second 100-yard receiving game and fifth of his career with four catches for 106 yards and the touchdown, while Ezell Ruffin just missed a 100-yard game with four receptions for 99 yards.

Quinn Kaehler threw for 265 yards and a touchdown.

SAN DIEGO - Quinn Kaehler threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Colin Lockett just inside the right pylon to give San Diego State a 34-31, overtime win over Boise State at Qualcomm Stadium.

It was the second straight overtime game and fourth of the season for the Aztecs. The four overtime games are the most in the FBS and tied for the most in FBS history.

Boise State had taken a 31-28 lead in overtime when Dan Goodale, who missed a 43-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, made a 35-yarder on the Broncos’ first possession of extra time.

SDSU then used three straight Adam Muema rushes for 15 yards to get to the BSU 10. After Donnel Pumphrey was stopped for no gain on 1st and 10, Kaehler found Lockett in the corner of the end zone for the game-winner.

San Diego State trailed 28-21 late in the fourth quarter until Tim Vizzi returned a punt 41 yards for a touchdown with 4:04 left. It was the Aztecs’ first punt return for a touchdown since Kyle Conerly had an 87-yard TD return in 2002 vs. UNLV. SDSU jumped out to a 7-0 lead with 4:15 left in the first quarter, putting together a 12-play, 70yard drive over 6:48, culminating with a 2-yard run by Muema.

Boise State wasted no time tying the game up as Bryan Douglas returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.

San Diego State took back the lead on its first drive of the second quarter when Kaehler found Adam Roberts for a 3-yard touchdown strike.

The Broncos tied it again midway through the third quarter on Jay Ajai’s 31-yard touchdown run, and then got the ball right back after the Aztecs fumbled a kick return. BSU took advantage of the short 24-yard field as Grant Hedrick found Shane Williams-Rhodes with a 12-yard touchdown pass, giving Boise State its first lead of the game at 21-14 with 5:02 left in the third quarter.

SDSU got all the way to the Bronco 4 to kick off the fourth quarter, but was unable to convert a 4th down, giving the ball back to BSU. On a 3rd and 6, however, J.J. Whittaker intercepted Hedrick’s pass and returned it 18 yards to tie the game back up at 21-21. It was Whittaker’s second interception of the game.

Boise State recaptured the lead at 28-21 when Hedrick hooked up with Matt Miller with a 10yard pass with 8:02 left in the fourth quarter.

On the ensuing drive, San Diego State got to the Bronco 39, but Kaehler’s deep pass was intercepted by Donte Deayon at the 1. BSU gained eight yards on a pair of rushes, but Hedrick was sacked by Nick Tenhaeff on a 3rd and 2, Tenhaeff’s second of the game. That set up Vizzi’s game-tying 41-yard punt return for a touchdown.

Kaehler finished 23-for-37 for 288 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Aztecs.

SDSU became the first team to beat the Broncos in consecutive seasons since Washington State did it in 2000 and 2001.

LAS VEGAS -- The San Diego State defense couldn’t stop UNLV’s passing attack in a 45-19 loss in Las Vegas in the regular season finale for both teams.

The Aztecs had taken the lead just 41 seconds into the game when quarterback Quinn Kaehler found Colin Lockett with a 39-yard touchdown strike.

The Rebels, however, responded with 31 straight points through the 11:36 mark of the third quarter and this time was too much for SDSU to overcome.

UNLV did most of its damage through the air as quarterback Caleb Herring was 20-for-30 for 270 yards and five touchdowns. The five touchdowns tied a school single-game record.

Devante Davis was Herring’s main target, exploding for eight catches, 171 yards and four touchdowns. The four touchdowns also tied a school single-game record.

San Diego State, which trailed, 24-7, at the half, finally got its second touchdown of the game with 2:27 left in the third quarter when Las Vegas native Donnel Pumphrey scored on a 1-yard run. The touchdown by the true freshman was the culmination of an 11-play, 59-yard drive.

After a missed extra-point attempt by the Aztecs, the Rebels added two more touchdowns to open up a 45-13 lead early in the fourth quarter.

With 7:17 left in the fourth quarter, SDSU’s Tim Vizzi returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown. It was his second straight game with a punt return for a touchdown after San Diego State had gone 11 years without one. His two punt returns for a touchdown in a season tied a school record, while his two career punt returns for a score are tied for third.

The 2-point conversion attempt by the Aztecs was stopped and the game would finish at 45-19.

Pumphrey rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts (6.7 avg.) to pace the SDSU rushing attack, which was limited as leading rusher Adam Muema (12 carries, 11 yards) was battling an ankle injury.

Kaehler threw for 239 yards and a touchdown.

He was 24-for-46 with two interceptions.

Lockett finished with seven catches for 98 yards and a touchdown, while Ezell Ruffin had five receptions for 55 yards.

Vaness Harris led the San Diego State defense with seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Josh Gavert added five stops (four solo) with a sack.

The loss snapped many streaks for the Aztecs, including a four-game winning streak, an eightgame November winning streak, a four-game road winning streak, a six-game road winning streak against unranked teams and a four-game conference willing streak, among others.

2013 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO

FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL HUMANITARIAN AWARD WINNER FRED LEE

B

UFFALO, NY - Senior wide receiver Fred Lee was recognized on September 17th as a member of the 2013 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, chosen from a record-setting 150 candidates. Lee was surprised with a presentation at Starpoint High School Tuesday afternoon following his talk with the students about making good choices. Always respected for his work on the field, Lee has now been recognized on a national level for his tireless work off it.

The 11-member Football Bowl Subdivision team was announced, with Lee serving as the only member of the Mid-American Conference on the squad. In all, 22 players across all levels of college football were honored.

“I’ve been involved in the community all summer and doing so much work and losing countless hours of sleep to do this,” Lee said. “To know that people recognize me and that people actually care about the things I do means a lot when you put a lot of time and energy into being a positive person. To be honored like this is a blessing.”

Since 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team has honored college foot-

ball players at all levels of the sport for their selfless acts of giving back to the community and off-the-field achievements. These student-athletes represent the sport’s finest in the areas of volunteerism and leadership amongst their peers.

It was fitting that Lee was presented with the award at Starpoint, as the Chester, SC native spent the spring semester mentoring at-risk students at the school twice a week. He has impacted youth of all ages, whether it was volunteering at day care centers, speaking at local schools, or reading to kids. Also in the community, Fred has spent time at the veteran’s hospital volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House, the Red Cross and with the Big Brother/Big Sister program.

On campus, he has taken part in the Women’s Football 101 day, UB Kid’s Day activities, Tim Horton’s Camp Day, and the UB Early Childhood Research Center.

For head coach Jeff Quinn and the football team as a whole, it was a proud day, as Lee’s embodiment of the social development pillar was recognized on a national level. The social pillar is one of Coach Quinn’s four pillars of development that he preaches to the team.

“It’s a special day for our program,” Quinn said. “To have an individual in place that does all the things that we communicate with our kids in terms of becoming other-centered.

That’s why I brought those four pillars. I know how much it has impacted not only the players in the program but all the kids that Freddy has had

a chance to touch in their lives. We have a living example of an individual whose work is being recognized and our players are going to be motivated to continue to reach out in the local community to do those things that Freddy has been doing for us.”

“Allstate is thrilled to embark on another year of collaboration with the AFCA, and together honor this group of extraordinary young men for their “good works” in the community,” said Cynthia Whitfield, field senior vice president of Allstate’s Southern region and a member of the 2013 voting panel, in an official release. “As fans of college football, Allstate continues to be inspired by the remarkable performances that take place onthe-field, but equally inspiring are the acts of service that have earned these 22 players a spot on the 2013 AFCA Good Works Team.”

Lee is the first UB football player to earn the award. He will travel to New Orleans and be honored at halftime of the Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 2, 2014.

The No. 22 Utah State Aggies capitalized on a 28-point fourth quarter to top the Toledo Rockets, 41-15, to win the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Both teams relied heavily on their kickers early in the game with Utah State earning the only touchdown in a 13-6 game after the first three quarters. Toledo kicker Jeremiah Detmer hit a field goal in the middle of the fourth-quarter, followed by three-straight touchdowns for Utah State running back Kerwynn Williams. Toledo’s Bernard Reedy narrowed the margin with an 87-yard kickoff return, but USU’s Joe Hill ran in for a touchdown in the final minutes to seal the 41-15 Aggie win. Williams was named the Most Valuable Player for Utah State, totaling 269-all-purpose yards, including three rushing touchdowns and 242-yards on the ground. Reedy garnered Toledo’s team MVP honor after totaling 309-all-purpose yards and 192-yards in kickoff returns.

Idaho’s game MVP De’Maundray Woolridge rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns against Bowling Green. Vandal QB Nate Enderle threw for 240 yards and four touchdowns. BGSU’s game MVP Freddie Barnes caught 17 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns. The game was tied at 14’s at the half. Idaho won the game with just four seconds left to play on an Enderle to Max Komar 18-yard touchdown pass and then successfully went for two.

Daniels ran for 307 yards, the second-highest total in school history, and four touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 52-10 rout of Tulsa on a January Saturday afternoon in the Humanitarian Bowl. Tulsa (8-5) closed the regular season on a five-game winning streak for the school’s first bowl berth since 1991, but Saturday’s appearance was hardly memorable. The Golden Hurricane didn’t score a touchdown until the fourth quarter and finished with 144 total yards. Tech recovered six Tulsa fumbles, scored six touchdowns in the second half and broke the school bowl record for points set in a 45-21 win over Nebraska in the 1991 Florida Citrus Bowl. P.J.

2013 FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

UB VS. SDSU | DECEMBER 21ST, 2013

By: Tom Scott

I

t was early 1997, and the Big West Conference was without a guaranteed bowl game for its football champion. With Las Vegas having essentially become a Western Athletic Conference city the year before with the move of UNLV to the WAC, the bowl had elected to follow suit and switch its affiliation from the Big West to the Rebels’ new league to maintain local interest in the event.

Were there any volunteers to come to the aid of the Big West? Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier raised his hand. What about creating a unique bowl game at a cold-weather site, one that had embraced football at all levels for decades? The idea germinated with the support of Big West commissioner Dennis Farrell, and on June 12, 1997, the new bowl received official certification from the NCAA. The event would be named the Humanitarian Bowl in a partnership with Boise’s World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. The initial agreement paired the Big West champion with a representative from Conference USA. In a day of fewer bowls and more flexible selection processes, there was competition for the C-USA berth. Cincinnati, with a promise of healthy ticket sales and a future visit to

Boise State by its nationally-ranked men’s basketball team, earned the bid opposite Utah State.

The inaugural Humanitarian Bowl was played on December 29, 1997, in front of 16,289 fans on Bronco Stadium’s blue turf. It was considered a good crowd at the time, given USU coach John L. Smith’s lame-duck status. Smith was on his way to Louisville, and the Aggies’ fan base was less than motivated. Cincinnati was inspired, though, and the Bearcats took home a 35-19 victory.

The 1998 Humanitarian Bowl pitted Idaho against Southern Miss and provided a glimpse into the bowl’s high-scoring future. The Vandals and Golden Eagles put on an of-

fensive show before Idaho prevailed, 42-35. With a title sponsor aboard for the first time, Boise State made its first-ever bowl game in the 1999 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl, another back-and-forth affair that saw the Broncos squeeze out a 34-31 win over the John L. Smith-coached Cardinals.

In 2000, the final season of Big West football, the Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl transitioned to a Western Athletic Conference opponent. Boise State returned as Big West champion and, in Dirk Koetter’s final game as Broncos coach, topped UTEP 38-23.

An eight-year association with the Atlantic Coast Conference began in 2001, when Tommy Bowden’s Clemson Tigers rolled up a 49-24 victory over WAC winner Louisiana Tech.

The 2002 Crucial.com Humanitarian Bowl marked the return of Boise State, which wrapped up a 12-1 season with a 34-16 triumph over Seneca Wallace and Iowa State, filling the bowl’s ACC slot. The Broncos’ Brock Forsey notched three touchdowns to finish his senior year as the nation’s leading scorer. The 2003 game was actually played January 3, 2004, sandwiched in between BCS bowl games.

Georgia Tech’s P.J. Daniels rushed for a bowl record 307 yards in a 52-10 conquest of Tulsa.

The game secured a new title sponsor in 2004 and was renamed the MPC Computers Bowl. Under that moniker, the bowl went 3-for-3 in thrillers, beginning with the first overtime in the game’s history as Fresno State edged Virginia, 37-34. In 2005, Matt Ryan and Boston College scored the

UB VS. SDSU | DECEMBER 21ST, 2013

first 27 points of the game before holding off Boise State, 27-21, a year before the Broncos’ famous Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma. The 2006 MPC Computers Bowl brought Nevada to the blue turf to play Miami in Larry Coker’s final game as head coach of the Hurricanes. And again, the ‘Canes had to fend off a last-minute Wolf Pack surge to prevail, 21-20.

In 2007, the bowl returned to its roots with a new sponsor, Roady’s Truck Stops, and the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl saw Fresno State beat Georgia Tech, 40-28. Nevada was back in the game in 2008, but Maryland repelled a Colin Kaepernick-led comeback by the Wolf Pack and won, 42-35.

The 2009 Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl was one for the ages. Idaho and Bowling Green, the first Mid-American Conference representative to play in the game, took turns putting the pedal to the metal. Through a flurry of momentum shifts, the Falcons took a 4235 lead with 32 seconds remaining in the game.

But the Vandals drove 66 yards in three plays and scored with four seconds left. Idaho decided to go for two points, and Nate Enderle converted with a pass to Preston Davis to win it, 43-42.

A sister company of Roady’s, uDrove, took ti-

tle sponsorship in 2010, when Northern Illinois handed Fresno State a 40-17 setback. Then a funny thing happened on the way to the 2011 game. The Idaho Potato Commission emerged with a commitment as a long-term sponsor, giving the bowl its new identity, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Hear the name, and you know exactly what it is and where it is. And what it was in 2011 was a classic. Utah State led the entire way—until Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton scored with 13 seconds remaining to give the Bobcats their first bowl victory ever.

The 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl marked the end of an era—the final game of a 13-year association with the WAC, capping the final season of WAC football. And Utah State, the conference’s final champion, picked up its first postseason victory in 19 years, exploding past Toledo 41-15 with four touchdowns in the final 7½ minutes of the game. The Aggies’ Kerwynn Williams rushed for 235 yards, a whopping 191 of them in the fourth quarter.

Today, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is the longest-running cold weather bowl game in college football. It has hosted 23 different universities and has seen 18 first-round NFL Draft picks come through. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl is a celebration of the spirit of winter in the beautiful Idaho mountains. That includes football. And potatoes.
