WAC ROUNDUP : San Diego State Rally Overcomes Utah, 24-21

David Lowery passed for three touchdowns Saturday, two in the fourth quarter, rallying San Diego State to a 24-21 victory over Utah in a Western Athletic Conference game at Salt Lake City.

Lowery had scoring passes of eight yards to T.C. Wright and three yards to Larry Maxey in the final quarter, when the Aztecs rallied from a 21-10 deficit.

The Aztecs, 6-2 overall and 4-1 in the WAC, broke up Utah quarterback Frank Dolce’s last-gasp pass at the goal line with 1:38 left to preserve the win.

Lowery completed 26 of 43 passes for 308 yards, with one interception. Wayne Pittman rushed for 153 yards in 36 carries.

Dolce passed for two touchdowns and ran for another for the Utes (5-3, 2-2). He completed 18 of 38 passes for 316 yards.

Brigham Young 41, New Mexico 23--Ty Detmer exploited the Lobos one last time with 375 yards and four touchdown passes in the Cougars’ victory at Albuquerque, N.M.

Detmer passed for an NCAA record 1,495 yards in four games against the New Mexico (1-8, 0-5), breaking the record of 1,482 yards set by Doug Flutie of Boston College against Penn State.

Detmer completed 24 of 39 passes as BYU (5-3, 4-0) won its fifth consecutive game.

Brigham Young sophomore flanker Eric Drage caught nine passes for 230 yards, though he didn’t score.

Wyoming 35, Colorado State 28--Freshman Terrance Hendricks rushed for more than 100 yards for the second consecutive week and scored once as the Cowboys survived a late scare to beat the Rams at Laramie, Wyo.

Colorado State (3-5, 2-3) had a first down on Wyoming’s seven-yard line with 65 seconds left, but an errant pitch from quarterback Kevin Verdugo moved the Rams back to the 18.

On fourth down, Verdugo was sacked by Doug Rigby.

Wyoming (4-4-1, 2-3-1) broke a 28-28 tie late in the fourth quarter when quarterback Tom Corontzos capped a 77-yard drive with a one-yard run.

Air Force 20, Texas El Paso 13--Rob Perez connected with Scott Hufford on a 76-yard scoring pass early in the final quarter and the Falcons held off the Miners at Colorado Springs, Colo.

Perez, lulling the Miner secondary to sleep with a relentless ground assault, found Hufford open over the middle to give Air Force (7-2, 5-1) a 20-6 lead with 13:47 remaining.

UTEP (3-5-1, 1-4-1) got close on Kenny Brown’s three-yard run, and had another drive reach the Air Force 17, but Glenn Bishop’s fourth-down reception was ruled out of bounds with 3:49 left.
