7 2017 MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME REVIEW SCORE BY QUARTERS FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FINAL Fresno State FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS West Division Champions Boise State Sat., Dec. 2, :45 p.m. MT ESPN Albertsons Stadium Boise, Idaho Attendance: 24,515 BOISE STATE BRONCOS Mountain Division Champions BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien struggled so much early in the season, he lost playing time to Kansas graduate transfer Montell Cozart. However, the highly-touted signal caller and nephew of Super Bowl winning quarterback Mark Rypien remained focused on the one thing he wanted more than anything - a championship. Saturday night, he got what he came for. Rypien threw for 246 yards and engineered a 90-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter to help Boise State upend No. 25 Fresno State to win the Mountain West Conference championship. When I came here initially, like everyone, I wanted to win a championship, said Rypien, who earned offensive MVP. That s the ultimate goal. It s been a long time coming for me. The first two years I wasn t able to get it done and that really hurt. But this year was a lot different year. I didn t contribute to the team as much as I had in the past because (Montell and I) were splitting time. But we just won a championship now and I feel better about that. Boise State (10-3), which lost to the Bulldogs a week ago in Fresno in the regular-season finale, won its second conference title in four years. Fresno State (9-4), which hasn t won in Boise since 1984, still completed one of the best turnarounds in college history under first-year coach Jeff Tedford after going 1-11 a year ago. To be in this position, even though we fell short tonight, this group has accomplished quite a bit, Tedford said. We have a lot to be proud of. Nobody believed in us coming off last season. We ll go back to the drawing board, but we ll be back. It was the fourth time in the past five years the title game was decided by seven points or fewer. Boise State had only mustered 103 yards on its first four possessions of the second half until the Broncos broke out. Rypien hit Cedrick Wilson on a 59-yard pass play to the Fresno State 36. After a pass interference call in the end zone put the ball at the 2, Ryan Wolpin, filling in for injured running back Alexander Mattison, powered his way into the end zone to give Boise State the decisive score. Brett showed his resiliency tonight, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. That s the thing about Brett. He s not looking at his completion percentage. He s doing what real leaders do - they look at wins. He did that all year long, which kind of become the identity for this team. Somebody might have better numbers, but I don t know if anybody has better leadership qualities than he does. Fresno State had two more possessions, but failed to get a first down. Marcus McMaryion s final pass was intercepted by Leighton Vander Esch. After two tough losses in September, Boise State strung together seven victories, including a 25-point comeback win on the road against Colorado State in overtime that kept its conference title hopes alive.

8 2016 MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME REVIEW SCORE BY QUARTERS FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FINAL San Diego State SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS West Division Champions Wyoming Sat., Dec. 3, :45 p.m. MT ESPN War Memorial Stadium Larmie, Wyoming Attendance: 24,001 WYOMING COWBOYS Mountain Division Champions LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) -- Rashaad Penny rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and Donnel Pumphrey added 110 yards and one TD as San Diego State beat Wyoming on Saturday for its second consecutive Mountain West Conference championship. Penny also gained 113 yards on two kickoff returns and 13 receiving yards for a total of 243 all-purpose yards for the Aztecs (10-3). Penny, who is Pumphrey s backup on offense, gained his rushing yards on just 16 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per carry. When you ve got the best offensive line in the league, you can t thank them enough, Penny said. I love these guys. It s just an awesome feeling to get this win. San Diego State s defense forced three Wyoming turnovers and held the Cowboys (8-5) to 2-of-14 on third down and 0-3 on fourth down. The Aztecs also recorded six sacks. We had tons of third downs and longs, Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said. And whenever you have a third down and long and you re chasing the sticks, that s always an advantage to the defensive coach. Josh Allen led Wyoming with 248 yards passing and three touchdowns. But he also was picked off twice and lost a fumble. THE TAKEAWAY San Diego State: The Aztecs avenged a regular season loss to Wyoming three weeks ago. Their win Saturday also snapped a two-game losing streak. The conference title was San Diego State s third in the last five years. San Diego State won its 10th game of the season and now has back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time while being a member of a conference in its Division I history since We have a great group of seniors, Aztecs coach Rocky Long said. They came to our program when we weren t very good and I told them we were going to be pretty good and they believed and they ve worked hard this whole time and they deserve everything they get.

9 2015 MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME REVIEW SCORE BY QUARTERS FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FINAL Air Force AIR FORCE FALCONS Mountain Division Champions San Diego State Sat., Dec. 5, :30 p.m. PT ESPN2 Qualcomm Stadium San Diego, California Attendance: 20,959 SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS West Division Champions SAN DIEGO (AP) - Donny Hageman kicked a 46-yard field goal with 5:10 to go and San Diego State beat Air Force to win the Mountain West Conference championship, the Aztecs first outright title since Redshirt freshman Christian Chapman threw for 203 yards and one touchdown in his first start for the Aztecs (10-3), who won their ninth straight game. This is their first outright title since winning the Western Athletic Conference crown in They shared the 2012 MW championship with Boise State and Fresno State. SDSU took a lead after touchdown runs of 1 yard by fullback Dakota Gordon and 28 yards by Rashaad Penny. Air Force (8-5) tied it on Timothy McVey s third touchdown, a 2-yard run on fourth down with 11:49 to go. Chapman threw a 48-yard pass to Micah Holder to the Air Force 25 but a 6-yard loss and a holding penalty moved the ball back, forcing the Aztecs to settle for Hageman s go-ahead kick. Air Force had two more possessions. It punted with 3:35 left and the game ended on Karson Roberts desperation pass. Chapman did enough to help the ground-oriented Aztecs win, completing nine of 14 passes. He started in place of Maxwell Smith, who suffered a knee injury in the regular-season finale against Nevada. Chapman threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide open D.J. Pumphrey, the league s Offensive Player of the Year, to tie the game at 7 on the first play of the second quarter. The Aztecs made plenty of mistakes that cost them points. Chapman threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Mikah Holder on the Aztecs second possession but it came back because of a chop block penalty and SDSU was forced to punt. SDSU then forced the Falcons to punt, only to see Holder have the ball bounce off his chest. Air Force recovered at the 10 and McVey scored on an 8-yard run two plays later for a 7-0 lead. Air Force went ahead on a 3-yard run by McVey midway through the third quarter. It was set up on a crazy play, when Air Force s Jacobi Owens fumbled at the Falcons 40 and the ball was knocked forward several yards. Two Aztecs had a chance to recover but Air Force s Garrett Griffin jumped on it at the SDSU 28. McVey scored six plays later. SDSU then scored on consecutive drives. Fullback Dakota Gordon gained 23 yards on fourth-and-1 from the 29 and scored on a 1-yard run three plays later to tie it at 17. Penny s 28-yard TD run came early in the fourth quarter and gave the Aztecs a lead. Owens ran 17 times for 156 yards. McVey had nine carries for 48 yards.

10 2014 MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME REVIEW SCORE BY QUARTERS FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FINAL Fresno State FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS West Division Champions Boise State Sat., Dec. 6, p.m. MT CBS Albertsons Stadium Boise, Idaho Attendance: 26,101 BOISE STATE BRONCOS Mountain Division Champions BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Grant Hedrick ran for two touchdowns to lead No. 22 Boise State to a victory over Fresno State to win the Mountain West Conference championship Saturday night. Boise State (11-2), which claimed a share of the conference title in 2012, won its first outright league championship since joining the Mountain West four years ago. The Broncos preserved their chance to get the lone slot for a team outside the power five conferences in a major New Year s Day bowl game. Hedrick was 9 of 16 passing for 155 yards, and had 81 yards rushing with the two scores to earn the game s offensive MVP honors. Tanner Vallejo, who had 13 tackles and an interception return for a touchdown, won the defensive MVP award. After winning the inaugural Mountain West championship game last year, the Bulldogs (6-7) lost to the Broncos for the second time this season. Fresno State, led by quarterback Brian Burrell s 332 yards passing, outgained Boise State on offense, rolling up 402 yards to 303 for the Broncos. The Bulldogs defense bottled up Boise State star running back Jay Ajayi, limiting him to 70 yards and preventing him from breaking the school record for yards rushing in a season. Fresno State held Boise State to 83 yards of total offense in the second half. Ajayi, projected to go between the second and third rounds of next year s NFL draft, also saw his school record-tying streak of consecutive 100-yard games snapped at seven. On Boise State s opening possession, Hedrick needed only four plays to drive the Broncos 77 yards for a touchdown. Hedrick completed a 46-yard pass to Chaz Anderson before he scored on a 20-yard run two plays later. With 1:56 left in the first quarter, Boise State extended its lead to 14-0 when Vallejo intercepted a pass from Burrell and returned it 63 yards for a touchdown. Fresno State appeared primed to get on the scoreboard until Boise State defensive tackle Armand Nance wrecked their chances on back-to-back plays. On third down from the Boise State 11, Nance sacked Burrell. On the ensuing 35-yard field-goal try, Burrell knifed through the line and blocked Kody Kroening s kick. Boise State then marched 72 yards in 11 plays, scoring when Ajayi bulled his way into the end zone on a 9-yard run. Dan Goodale s extra point gave the Broncos a 21-0 lead with 9:03 left in the first quarter. The Broncos took the opening drive of the second half 86 yards on seven plays, scoring when Hedrick raced into the end zone on a 21-yard scamper. Fresno State finally cracked Boise State s stingy defense late in the third quarter. It wasn t easy, though. The Bulldogs needed 19 plays to march 96 yards before Josh Quezada scored on a 2-yard run with 3:18 left in the quarter. Kroening hit the extra point to cut Boise State s lead to Fresno State pulled to with 5:41 left in the game when Burrell connected with Greg Watson on a 25-yard scoring strike. The Bulldogs threatened to make it close late in the game after recovering an onside kick, but Beau Martin intercepted Burrell s pass at the line of scrimmage to seal the victory.

11 2013 MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME REVIEW SCORE BY QUARTERS FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH FINAL Utah State UTAH STATE AGGIES Mountain Division Champions Fresno State Sat., Dec. 7, p.m. PT CBS Bulldog Stadium Fresno, Calif. Attendance: 31,362 FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS West Division Champions FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Derek Carr threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 24 Fresno State s defense helped the Bulldogs beat Utah State in the inaugural Mountain West conference title game Saturday night. One week after giving up 62 points in a loss that dashed any hopes of a BCS bid, Fresno State s defense responded with one of its best performances of the season. They didn t allow an offensive score until the fourth quarter, one week after giving up eight touchdowns to David Fales and the Spartans. Fresno State then came up with two late stops to seal the win: Ejiro Ederaine sacked Craig Harrison on fourthand-7 from the Utah State 41 with 2:47 to play, and Dalen Jones intercepted a pass from Harrison at the Bulldogs 17 with 58 seconds left. The win improved Fresno State record to This defensive performance came a week too late to get Fresno State into the Fiesta Bowl. Instead, the Bulldogs will likely be headed to the Las Vegas Bowl, where they could take on Southern California. The Aggies appear headed to the Poinsettia Bowl. Carr broke older brother David s single-season school record for touchdown passes (46) and yards passing (4,839) in his final game at Bulldog Stadium. With two more TD passes in the bowl game, Carr will be the fifth quarterback in FBS history to reach 50 in a season. He also needs 125 yards to reach 5,000 on the season. The Aggies came into the game as the top defense in the conference and played that way, forcing a pair of fumbles in the first half and intercepting Carr twice in the third quarter. The defense even provided the first score for Utah State on Jake Doughty s 86-yard fumble return in the closing seconds of the half. But an offense missing starting quarterback Chuckie Keaton, running back Joe Hill and tight end D.J. Tialavea to season-ending injuries couldn t take advantage. The Aggies went three-and-out after Carr s first interception and then were stopped on fourth-and-1 following the second when Joey DeMartino was stuffed for no gain. Carr then drove the Bulldogs down the field, converting a fourth-and-10 with a 20-yard pass to Isaiah Burse before finding Davante Adams for a 3-yard TD pass to make it That was Adams 23rd TD catch of the season. After Garretson was knocked out on a helmet-to-helmet hit by Jones early in the fourth quarter, receiver Bruce Natson took a direct snap and ran 10 yards for a score. Utah State recovered the ensuing onside kick, leading to a field goal by Nick Diaz that made it with 9 minutes to play. But the Aggies couldn t get another score. After a slow start on offense with just one field goal in the first quarter, Fresno State seemed to take control in the second. Carr threw TD passes to Marcel Jensen and Isaiah Burse, and the defense harassed Garretson with four sacks to build a 17-0 lead. After Diaz missed a 42-yard field goal for Utah State in the final minute of the half, Carr drove the Bulldogs down to the 11 and in position for another score.
