LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - Jovon Bouknight and Dustin Pleasant each caught touchdown passes, and Wyoming's defense forced three turnovers and held an opponent scoreless in the second half for the second straight game as the Cowboys beat San Diego State 20-10 Saturday.
Wyoming (4-1, 1-0 Mountain West Conference) won its third straight game and snapped a five-game losing streak against SDSU.
The Aztecs (2-3, 0-1) took just their third loss in eight games overall against Front Range opponents since the Mountain West Conference was formed in 1999.
SDSU gained a 10-3 halftime lead thanks to a second-quarter 47-yard TD pass from Matt Dlugolecki to Jeff Webb.
But Wyoming held the Aztecs scoreless in the second half - a week after holding Lousisiana-Monroe scoreless in the second half. For the game, Wyoming forced four fumbles, recovering two, and intercepted one pass. The Cowboys limited SDSU to 68 yards rushing on 32 attempts.
Defensive tackle Zach Morris, who missed most of the last two games with an ankle injury, led the defense with four solo tackles, including a solo sack, that resulted in 18 lost yards for SDSU.
Meantime, Bouknight caught a 29-yard pass from Corey Bramlet early in the third quarter to tie the game, Deric Yaussi hit a 42-yard field goal later in the third, and Pleasant caught a 12-yard pass from running back Ivan Harrison on a trick play in the fourth quarter.
