LARAMIE, Wyo. -- San Diego State cemented itself as the top football program in the Mountain West Conference, while upstart Wyoming established itself as a program that will have to be reckoned with in the future.Rashaad Penny rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and Donnel Pumphrey added 110 yards and one TD as San Diego State beat Wyoming 27-24 on Saturday for its second consecutive Mountain West championship.Thats the way the championship should be -- two teams playing their hearts out until the end, San Diego State coach Rocky Long said. The Mountain West got the type of championship like it should.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 Pumphreys backup on offense, gained his rushing yards on just 16 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per carry.When youve got the best offensive line in the league, you cant thank them enough, Penny said. I love these guys. Its just an awesome feeling to get this win.San Diego States 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 youre chasing the sticks, thats 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 TAKEAWAYSan Diego State: The Aztecs avenged a 34-33 regular season loss to Wyoming three weeks ago. Their win Saturday also snapped a two-game losing streak. The conference title was San Diego States 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 1969.We have a great group of seniors, Long said. They came to our program when we werent very good and I told them we were going to be pretty good and they believed and theyve worked hard this whole time and they deserve everything they get.Wyoming: The Cowboys and third-year coach Bohl, who signed a contract extension on Friday, have nothing to hang their heads about. They surprised everyone by winning their conference division after finishing just 2-10 last year. It was Wyomings first Mountain West Conference title game and the first postseason game ever at its 67-year-old War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys last played in the conference title game back in 1996 when they were in the Western Athletic Conference.The real problem for the rest of us is that Wyoming is just going to get better and better and thats a problem for all the rest of us, Long said.PUMPHREY-NCAA RUSHING LISTPumphrey passed Ricky Williams for second place on the NCAA career rushing list with 6,290. He is now 108 yards from surpassing all-time rushing leader Ron Dayne, who had 6,397.UP NEXTSan Diego State: Bowl game to be determined.Wyoming: Bowl game to be determined.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Air Force 1 Cheap .

Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. LINCOLN, Neb. -- This weeks game at No. 11 Wisconsin couldnt come at a better time, as far as Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. is concerned.The Cornhuskers are 7-0, ranked No. 7 -- and have been doubted at every turn.We have a lot of critics about whether we really are good or not, Armstrong said Monday. This is what we work for. This is one of the great teams in our conference, and a lot of people are saying this is the determining factor of whether we go to the Big Ten championship or not.If Nebraska wins Saturday night, it would improve to 5-0 in the Big Ten and have a minimum of a full-game lead over Northwestern in the West, in addition to its head-to-head victory over the Wildcats.The Badgers (5-2, 2-2) would have their division hopes take a huge hit if they lose.Nebraskas only win over Wisconsin since joining the Big Ten five years ago was in 2012 in Lincoln, and that result was all but forgotten two months later when the Badgers beat the Huskers 70-31 in the Big Ten championship game.In fact, three of the four losses to the Badgers have been blowouts. The last time Nebraska visited Camp Randall Stadium, in 2014, Melvin Gordon ran for a then-NCAA record 408 yards and the Badgers came back from a 17-3 deficit to win 59-24. Bo Pelini was fired two weeks and a day later.Last year in Lincoln, Wisconsins Rafael Gaglianone kicked a 46-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to beat Nebraska 23-21.The past means little to second-year coach Mike Riley.This is the 2016 Husker team, he said.Nebraska has won its two road games this season. There was a big Nebraska fan contingent at Northwestern, and the atmosphere at Indiana was gentle. Camp Randall will be an entirely different story.We have to win on the road if we want to be that team we want to be, Riley said. Weve done that twice, and now its going to be a bigger, tougher environment.dddddddddddd. As we all know, the more you win, the bigger the games get. This will be a great game that way.The Huskers have drawn skeptics because of the unimpressive fashion in which theyve beaten what should have been overmatched opponents. Theyve come back from halftime deficits three times, including this past week against a Purdue team that had just fired its coach.Riley said his offense must become more consistent. On first-down plays, the Huskers are averaging 4.65 yards per rush to rank 67th nationally and completing 49 percent of their passes to rank 117th. Whether because of a missed block or another mistake, they have been prone to blowing chances to break big plays. Though the Huskers are third in the Big Ten in total offense, at 447 yards a game, their average has slipped to 397 over the last three games.Part of the reason has been injuries. Riley said he expects tackles Nick Gates and David Knevel to play. Each has a bad ankle. Gates played the entire Purdue game on his, and Knevel left early from a third straight game. Receiver Jordan Westerkamp (back) will play for the first time since Oct. 1, and tight end Cethan Carter (elbow) will remain out.Weve been in a whole bunch of hard games, and Ive loved our team and how weve competed, Riley said. Even though it hasnt always been pretty, this team has fought. I expect nothing different. I expect a real competitive game.So does Armstrong.We need to get a test like this to see how well we do, he said. Our team is excited for it.
