There is an old pioneer cemetery to the south of Rice Eccles Stadium. Nothing that you saw there was as scary at to what the Utes experienced on Halloween night...
Mountain West Conference
Air Force 34 Colorado State 16
The Fort Collins swoon lasts another week. Tim Jefferson started again for the Falcons and paced the offense to an easy win over the Rams. CSU is now just one loss away from finishing the season below .500. Air Force shows once again that the best offense is a good defense.
TCU 41 UNLV 0
TCU will possibly leapfrog Boise State in the wire service polls this week. You expected an easy win over the Rebels. You did not expect that Omar Clayton and the powerful UNLV offense would be shut out as offense has not been the problem for the Rebels this season. A lot of "style" points for the Frogs this week.
San Diego State 23 New Mexico 20
Ryan Lindley and Company prove that they can win as the favorite and inch a game closer to becoming bowl eligible. The Lobos played motivated for most of the game in Mike Locksley's first game back after a two week suspension.
Utah 22 Wyoming 10
Freshman Jordan Wynn came of the bench in the second half and rallied the Utes to a come from behind win. The Utes were moving the ball with Cain under center, but could not punch it into the end zone. A trick Play put the Cowboys ahead until the fourth quarter. Now, Kyle Wittingham has a quarterback controversy on his hands.

Don't go into the woods....don't go into the woods....don't...oh man, you went into the woods.
Bosie State 45 San Jose State 7
BSU does not get as many "style" points as the Frogs this week. First, this was not a shutout. San Jose State's offense is not as explosive as UNLV's offense. San Jose State does not have a win against a FBS team this year.
Nevada 31 Hawaii 21
The Warriors went on the road to Reno and put the scare into the Wolfpack. They had a lead at the end of the first frame. But Nevada stormed back stayed unbeaten in WAC play.
Idaho 35 Louisiana Tech 34
A missed extra point attempt at the beginning of the fourth quarter proved costly for the Bulldogs in Moscow. It gave them a 34-21 lead and did not seem all that big at the time. Nathan Ederle rallied his team once again and led the Vandals to two scores in the last five minutes.
Fresno State 31 Utah State 27
The Aggies went to Fresno and put a scare into the Bulldogs. But Ryan Matthews kept his legs moving and Fresno State rallied. The defense made some nice adjustments and kept Utah State off of the score board in the second half.
Offensive Player of the Week--Again: Fresno State RB Ryan Matthews.

Big Sky Conference
Sacramento State 27 Northern Arizona 24
The Hornets cracked the mystery of the Northern Arizona defense to get their first conference victory of the year. The Sacramento defense did the job in the second half, keeping the Lumberjacks off of the scoreboard.
Eastern Washington 47 Portland State 10
This game was played at Qwest Field in Seattle. The fish trowers at Pike's Peak Market Place dropped more fish than the Eastenr Washington receivers as Matt Nichols had another good game.
Northern Colorado 21 South Dakota 17
The Bears got an early lead, let it slip away and then scored a late touchdown to get their third win of the season. Northern Colorado had more penalty yards (177) than rushing yards (114) but did not turn the ball over. The Coyotes had two interceptions and 120 penalty yards. The two former D-II still do not like each other. This was their first meeting since USD moved up.
Montana State 41 Idaho State 10
Mark Iddins was back under center for the Bobcats. But against Idaho State, almost anyone can get their swagger back.
Montana 31 Weber State 10
From start to finish, what was supposed to be the game of the year in the Big Sky Conference was a domination by the Grizzlies. The game winning score was another pick for six thrown by Cam Higgins.
