As bowl game announcements started on Sunday, the Cowboys found out they will be playing long time rival Brigham Young University in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, California.
The Pokes narrowly lost to San Diego State 27-24 in the Mountain West Championship held at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie. The game showed a very powerful run game by SDSU, with Donnel Pumphrey, who ended the season ranked 2nd nationally in rushing yards, and backup Rashaad Penny, combining for 227 yards to count towards the team’s 242 overall. The Aztecs will go on to play in the Las Vegas Bowl against the University of Houston Cougars.
