Poinsettia Bowl: Aggies Knock Off Jordan Lynch, Huskies

At San Diego:

Joey DeMartino ran for 143 on 23 carries and scored a late fourth-quarter touchdown on Thursday as the Utah State Aggies (9-5) won back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history with their 21-14 victory over Northern Illinois (#23 in both the Bowl Championship Series standings and the USA Today/Coaches poll, #24 in the Associated Press media poll; 12-2) in the Poinsettia Bowl.  Huskies' quarterback Jordan Lynch, in his NIU swan song, ran for a touchdown and passed for another, but was intercepted by the Aggies' Brian Suite (who also recovered a fumble by the Heisman Trophy finalist).
