Powered by its defense and taking advantage of key turnovers, Fresno State stifled a punchless Wyoming squad 13-7 on Saturday afternoon at War Memorial Stadium to win both the division title and clinch a spot in the Mountain West football championship game.
Wyoming scored with 2:25 left, forced a Fresno State punt and got within striking distance of a go-ahead touchdown before Robert Stanley’s sack ended the game.
“I’m really proud of my guys,” Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford said in a postgame interview.
