College Football Bowl Roundup
Moss, Utah run past West Virginia in Heart of Dallas Bowl
doesn’t want to be the group that
lets the previous groups down. They
want to keep that bowl prowess
alive.”
By STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
DALLAS — Zach Moss took
a third-down handoff and quickly
burst through the line and into an
opening in the middle of the field.
Utah was off and running to another
bowl victory.
Moss ran for 150 yards, including
a career-long 58-yard run for a
touchdown on the Utes’ opening
drive in the Heart of Dallas Bowl
on way to a 30-14 win over West
Virginia on Tuesday. They are now
11-1 in postseason games under
Kyle Whittingham, who matched
Alabama’s Nick Saban for the most
bowl wins by an active coach.
“He knows how to coach the
team and he always caps the year
off right,” Utah sophomore quarter-
back Tyler Huntley said.
Huntley scored twice, both on
2-yard keepers, but they led for
good in their fifth straight bowl
victory after Moss broke free on
a drizzly and chilly day in Cotton
Bowl Stadium.
“It was very important for us to
come out of the gates with a big
play early on and set the tone,” said
Moss, who like Huntley still has
two seasons left with the Utes (7-6).
West Virginia (7-6) finished the
season with its third straight loss.
The Mountaineers had only 153
total yards without junior quarter-
back Will Grier, who broke a finger
Nov. 18, and 1,000-yard rusher
Justin Crawford, a senior who
bypassed the bowl game in advance

of the NFL draft.
“It was a pretty disappointing
loss to end a pretty disappointing
season,” Mountaineers coach Dana
Holgorsen said. “You never hear
me use it as an excuse. If you lose
guys, you need guys to step in and
play at a high level and that is the
bottom line.”
Whittingham’s debut as head
coach was a Fiesta Bowl win at
the end of the 2004 season. He
co-coached that game with Urban
Meyer, who had taken the Florida
job three weeks earlier but returned
to be part of Utah’s postseason win
over Pittsburgh after his defensive
coordinator had been promoted to
head coach.
Under Whittingham, the Utes
prepare for bowl games like regular
season games, often in full pads and
with continuing conditioning work.
There is also a little bit of peer
pressure.
“We’ve got a group of guys and
have had several groups of guys
come here that take a lot of pride
in their bowl performance and the
bowl record that we have,” Whit-
tingham said. “This group was no
different. Each subsequent group
DUKE 36, NORTHERN
ILLINOIS 14 — At Detroit, Daniel
Jones threw for two touchdowns
and ran for another as Duke beat
Northern Illinois 36-14 in the Quick
Lane Bowl on Tuesday.
Jones finished with 338 yards of
offense, while Shaun Wilson and
Brittain Brown added touchdowns
for Duke (7-6).
“We knew Northern Illinois had
a lot of success rushing the passer
this year, but our offensive line
really controlled things,” Jones said.
“That really opened things up.”
Marcus Childers threw for 234
yards and a score for Northern
Illinois (8-5).
The Blue Devils took a 14-0 lead
in the first quarter, sandwiching
rushing touchdowns around a failed
Northern Illinois fake punt on
4th-and-18 from their own 11.
The Huskies had two first downs
and 46 yards in the quarter, but tied
the game with two scores in the first
2:38 of the second. Duke, though,
moved back into a 26-14 lead with
two touchdowns before halftime.
“We let up for a little while,
and they took advantage of our
mistakes,” Duke linebacker Joe
Giles-Harris said. “We knew we
had to get focused again, and we
shut them out from there.”
Jones fumbled on the first
possession of the second half, but

goal.
Cactus Bowl
KANSAS STATE 35, UCLA
17 — At Phoenix, Alex Delton ran
for 158 yards and accounted for
four touchdowns, leading Kansas
State to a 35-17 Cactus Bowl
victory over UCLA on Tuesday
night in what could be the final
game of coach Bill Snyder’s
career.
Delton
replaced
Skylar
Thompson late in the first quarter
and scored on runs of 68 yards,
3 yards and 1 yard. Alex Barnes
added 117 yards and a touchdown
for the Wildcats, who rushed for
345 yards.
Kansas State (8-5) struggled
in the first half against UCLA’s
potent offense, but shut down
the Bruins in the second to give
Snyder his 210th — and possibly
final — win with the Wildcats.
UCLA (6-7) played without top
NFL prospect Josh Rosen, who’s
recovering from a concussion,
and built a 10-point halftime lead
without its star quarterback.
The Bruins’ offensive success
didn’t carry over into the second
half and their defense had a hard
time containing Delton, saddling
interim coach Jedd Fisch with a
loss in his last game before Chip
Kelly takes over the program.
Snyder has not decided whether
he will return for a 27th season or
retire again to spend time with his
family.

Army ends successful season with bowl win US dominates Denmark
By JOHN KEKIS
Associated Press
WEST POINT, N.Y. —
Four years after he was hired
at Army, coach Jeff Monken
has succeeded where so many
others had failed over a span
of more than two decades,
and the achievements are
significant.
The
Black
Knights
finished 2017 with a 10-3
record, a gutsy 42-35 win
over San Diego State in
the Armed Forces Bowl on
Saturday the perfect cap to a
memorable season.
Army heads into the
offseason
with
these
accomplishments to build
on: The Black Knights won
the Commander-in-Chief’s
Trophy, emblematic of
service academy supremacy,
for the first time since 1996;
matched the academy record
for wins in a season; posted
its second straight winning
season, which hadn’t been
done in 27 years; won
its second straight bowl
game, which had only been
done once before, in the
mid-1980s; led the nation in
rushing; defeated a Power
Five foe (Duke) that also
played in the postseason;
and, most importantly, beat
Navy for the second straight
year.

Monken has changed the
culture in his short tenure.
Army now expects to win,
and the academy is lobbying
to be included in the AP Top
25 when the final poll is
released in the new year.
“When you have a whole
team of guys that have been
with the coaching staff, it’s
really satisfying to see what
they accomplished as a
group,” Monken said. “This
means a lot to our team.”
In this day of pass-happy
offenses, Monken has accom-
plished the unthinkable with
his option attack — his Black
Knights have been winning
regularly by pretty much
sticking to the ground and not
committing turnovers. Army
had only five fumbles in more
than 800 plays — 785 rushes,
20 receptions — in 2017, a
remarkable statistic, while
attempting just 65 passes.
Three of Army’s victories
were achieved without
completing a pass, the most
significant a 21-0 triumph
on the road against service
academy nemesis Air Force.
Against archrival Navy,
Army attempted to throw
just once in a riveting 14-13
victory over the Midshipmen.
The Black Knights won
eight of their final nine
games, but there are big
holes to fill on both sides of
the ball.
Chief among them is the
key to the offense — quar-
terback Ahmad Bradshaw.
The Black Knights scored 42
touchdowns on 51 trips into
the red zone, and Bradshaw
was the catalyst, rushing for
an academy single-season
record 1,746 yards and
scoring 14 TDs.
Army also loses Josh
Boylan, Mike Houghton,
Bryce Holland and Brent
Toth, who started on the
offensive line for 12 straight
weeks and helped create the
seams and holes for a team
that averaged 362.3 yards
per game and six yards per
carry. But four fullbacks who
combined for 1,871 yards
rushing — Darnell Woolfolk,
Andy Davidson, Connor
Slomka and Calen Holt —
return along with speedy
running back Kell Walker.
Defensively, hard-hitting
safety Rhyan England,
defensive end John Voit (39
straight starts) and linebacker
Alex Aukerman (15.5 TFLs)
depart. But James Nachtigal
(103 tackles), Cole Chris-
tiansen (84 tackles) and
Kenneth Brinson (38 tackles)
will give the Black Knights
veteran leadership at line-
backer while safety James
Gibson (45 tackles) and
cornerback Elijah Riley will
help anchor the secondary.

BUFFALO, N.Y. —
Casey Mittelstadt got the
United States off to a quick
start in its title defense at the
world junior hockey champi-
onship.
Mittelstadt scored twice
in the first period, Kieffer
Bellows also had two goals
and Joseph Woll made 17
saves to earn the shutout as
the U.S. opened the tourna-
ment with a 9-0 victory over
Denmark on Tuesday night.
In
other
prelimi-
nary-round games, the
Czech Republic upset Russia
5-4, Sweden beat Belarus
6-1 and Canada held on for a
4-2 win over Finland.
Max
Jones,
Kailer
Yamamoto, Patrick Harper,
Andrew Peeke and Dylan
Samberg also scored for the
U.S., which had three goals
in the first nine minutes.
“We came out ready to
go,” said Mittelstadt, the
most recent first-round
draft choice for the Buffalo
Sabres. “We wanted to come
out and score some goals
and get our team going right
away.”

Mittelstadt’s second goal
gave the U.S. a 5-0 lead late
in the first period.
“Every time Casey
steps on the ice, we know
everyone is going to be
watching him,” Bellows
said. “He does some special
stuff with the puck and he’s a
really special player.”
U.S. coach Bob Motzko
remained undefeated in the
world junior championships.
After winning last year’s
tournament in Montreal, the
U.S. is seeking back-to-back
gold medals for the first
time. Denmark placed fifth
last year, its highest finish in
history.
The opening game was the
most competitive of the day
as Czech Republic stunned
Russia with a 5-4 win.
Russia has medaled at
the past seven world juniors
while the Czech Republic
has not reached the medal
round since 2005.
