| **Air Force 23, Wyoming 3** | |
| **Laramie, Wyo.** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. Air Force extended its win streak against Wyoming to three, matching the longest streak by either team in the series. 2. Wyoming did not allow Air Force a passing first down, marking the third time in MWC history a team has accomplished the feat (New Mexico vs. TCU, 11/11/06 and Air Force vs. Navy, 10/7/06). 3. Air Force recovered four fumbles at Wyoming, tying for second-most in MWC history. 4. The Falcons held the Cowboys to 15 passing yards, setting a new league record for fewest passing yards in an MWC contest. The previous record of 19 was held by New Mexico (vs. Air Force, 9/30/06). | |
| **No. 22/23 Utah 42, UNLV 21** | |
| **Salt Lake City, Utah** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. Utah used a balanced offense in the win over UNLV, gaining 225 yards on the ground while passing for another 215.
2. The Utes did their most damage in the third quarter, scoring on all four of their possessions while limiting the Rebels to 11 net yards, including negative six rushing yards.
3. Utah improved to 7-0 vs. UNLV in Salt Lake City and 12-2 in the overall series.

| **No. 15 BYU 28, Washington 27** | |
| **Seattle, Wash.** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. With BYU leading 28-27, defensive lineman Jan Jorgensen blocked Washington's potential game-tying extra point with two seconds remaining on the game clock to secure the 15th-ranked Cougars' victory over the Huskies and extend the nation's longest win streak to 12 games. 2. Saturday's win marked the first non-conference road victory for the Cougars since beating Utah State, 35-34, in Logan on October 4, 2002. The win over UW ends a streak of nine straight loses that spanned nearly six years. 3. The Cougars were 12-of-14 on third-down conversions against the Huskies, including 4-of-4 in the second half. 4. BYU has now won each of its last two outings vs. Pac-10 opponents, both on blocked kicks in the final seconds. The Cougars beat UCLA, 17-16, in the 2007 Las Vegas Bowl when they blocked the Bruins' potential game-winning field goal as time expired. | |
| **Colorado State 23, Sacramento State 20** | |
| **Fort Collins, Colo.** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. CSU true freshman Ben DeLine hit both the game-tying and game-winning kicks in the fourth quarter to lift CSU to victory over Sacramento State. DeLine became the first CSU kicker to hit a game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter since Jeff Babcock, five years to the day, delivered a 32-yarder with 1:57 remaining to beat Cal, 23-21, on Sept. 6, 2003.
2. Saturday's victory marked the first win of CSU head coach Steve Fairchild's career. Fairchild became the first Rams head coach since Earle Bruce in 1989 to win his home debut.
3. The Rams did not punt for the second time in their last nine games. The last time they didn't punt was Oct. 13, 2007, a 45-21 loss at home to Air Force. That instance marked the only such game in the Sonny Lubick era (1993-2007).
4. Billy Farris' 321 yards passing in the game marked the most by a CSU quarterback since Justin Holland had 381 in the 2005 Poinsettia Bowl vs. Navy.

| **TCU 67, Stephen F. Austin 7** | |
| **Fort Worth, Texas** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. TCU scored on its first five possessions en route to the 67-7 win over Stephen F. Austin. 2. The Horned Frogs' 67 points marked the third-highest scoring effort in MWC history, five points off the record of 72 set by New Mexico against Texas State on Aug. 30, 2003. The 60-point win also marked the second-largest margin of victory by an MWC squad since the Lobos' 64-point win over TSU in 2003. 3. TCU scored a school-record nine touchdowns in the game. The Horned Frogs' seven rushing TDs were one off the MWC record of eight, set by Air Force against San Diego State on Nov. 17, 2007. 4. TCU's Andy Dalton completed 11-of-13 (.846) passes against SFA, tying for the third-best completion percentage in MWC history. | |
| **Texas A&M 28, New Mexico 22** | |
| **Albuquerque, N.M.** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. New Mexico's Rodney Ferguson rushed for 135 yards in the contest, marking his 11th career 100-yard rushing effort, which ties for fourth most all-time in the MWC. 2. With the loss, the Lobos drop to 0-2 for the first time since an 0-3 start to the 2000 season. 3. New Mexico has lost 11 straight games when the opponent scores first. 4. Ian Clark's career-long 42-yard punt return vs. the Aggies was the longest by a Lobo since Dwight Counter went 74 yards against Baylor in 2002. | |
| **Notre Dame 21, San Diego State 13** | |
| **Notre Dame, Ind.** | **Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008** |
| 1. San Diego State QB Ryan Lindley's 61 plays in the contest set the MWC record for most plays by a freshman, while his 59 passing attempts set the MWC freshman record and tied for third-most all-time.
2. The Aztec defense held Notre Dame to a 3-of-12 performance in third-down attempts. Through two games this season, SDSU opponents have converted just five of their 25 opportunities on third down.
3. Saturday's contest marked the first meeting between San Diego State and Notre Dame.
4. The SDSU defense stalemated the Notre Dame offense in the red-zone, as the Irish scored on just one of their five trips inside the 20-yard line.
