Ryan Agnew – Noteworthy
Whether it’s in Colorado or San Diego, the San Diego State Aztecs are getting used to lightning delays when they play Air Force. The result has been the same, too: an Aztecs win. Ryan Agnew threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to tight end Parker Houston with 6:10 to go and San Diego State beat Air Force 21-17 Friday night in a game delayed 1 hour, 7 minutes by lightning. A year ago, there was an 88-minute lightning delay at Air Force, and the Aztecs held on for a 28-24 win. “What a coincidence,” SDSU coach Rocky Long said. “It completely breaks up the whole rhythm of the game. And I thought it was a great game anyway, and it was going along just fine, so I think it kind of ruins the game, basically.” But it finished the right way for SDSU. Agnew moved the Aztecs (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) 94 yards in eight plays after the Falcons had gone ahead 17-14 on Ronald Cleveland’s 4-yard run, his second score of the night. The Aztecs, coming off a big 19-13 victory at Boise State, won their fifth straight game since losing their opener at Stanford. They also beat Air Force (2-4, 0-3) for the eighth straight time. – AP College Football
