TEMPLE 37 VS WYOMING 15

2011 New Mexico Bowl Winner - Temple cruises past Wyoming

Temple came out swinging against Wyoming, jumping to a 21-0 lead in the first half of the New Mexico Bowl.

But when Wyoming freshman Brett Smith threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Josh Doctson with 37 seconds remaining in the first half, Temple quarterback Chris Coyer feared that Wyoming found a spark.

We knew they had swung the momentum their way. It was a big touchdown for them, Coyer said.

Then, moments later, Coyer responded with 61-yarder to Rod Streater to give the Owls a 28-7 lead.

It was never close again.

Bernard Pierce ran for two early touchdowns and Coyer threw for 169 yards and the touchdown to help Temple overwhelm Wyoming 37-15 in the New Mexico Bowl - the first bowl game of the season.

The Owls had three interceptions - tying a New Mexico Bowl record - en route to the second bowl victory in school history. The first interception came at the start of the second quarter when Temple’s Kee-arye Griffin picked off Smith’s pass to setting up Matt Brown’s 1-yard touchdown run that gave the Owls a 21-0 lead.

The last one came late in the game to Temple’s Kevin Kroboth, resulting in a field goal.

University Stadium Capacity: 37,457 for the New Mexico Bowl

The Gildan New Mexico Bowl Wagering is usually one of the first big betting games, because it is traditionally one of a handful of bowl (YUM, cereal) games that are the first to kick off the college football bowl season. This bowl game started in 2006 and looks to be a mainstay in the ever-growing postseason college football games.

For those of you wondering, as I was, who the sponsor Gildan is I have some answers I think. As near as I can tell, they sell t-shirts, socks and underwear for men, women, children and I’m guessing football players that are kind of a different animal. OK, now on with the show…

The 2010 Gildan New Mexico Bowl brought new meat into the mix as freshman quarterback Jake Heaps showed veteran skills throwing four touchdowns leading BYU to a big triumph 52-24 over UTEP. With the new association, this year’s game should be better and more interesting if you ask me.

The Pac-12 is actually hooking up with the New Mexico Bowl a year early after the WAC affiliation was finished opening the door for yet another Pac-12 hopeful to challenge the MWC. The Mountain West really owned the WAC anyway, so this extra challenge will increase competition, viewership and probably losses for the MWC. I just call ‘em as I see ‘em.

2010 New Mexico Bowl - Jake Heaps tosses four TDs as BYU takes care of UTEP

Jake Heaps is BYU's bowl-winning quarterback, and that's no easy feat for a freshman.

Heaps threw four touchdown passes, connecting with Cody Hoffman on three scores, and finished with 264 yards passing to help BYU beat overmatched Texas-El Paso 52-24 on Saturday in the New Mexico Bowl.

While he was one of the nation's top recruits a year ago, Heaps has come a long way from earlier this season when he was sharing snaps with Riley Nelson, who later was injured, and struggling to throw TD passes for the first time in his life.
