FOOTBALL
POINSETTIA BOWL: Linebacker Kyle Van Noy forced a fumble in the end zone and recovered it for a touchdown, and he also scored on a 17-yard interception return — both in the fourth quarter — to lead BYU to a 23-6 victory over San Diego State at San Diego on Thursday night.
The big plays swung the momentum for the Cougars (8-5) in what had been a tedious defensive struggle.
San Diego State (9-4), playing in the hometown bowl for the second time in three years, missed the chance for its first 10-win season since 1977 and had its seven-game winning streak snapped.

Howley is also a two-time All-New England selection and a two-time ECAC All-Star in addition to being named a 2012 College Sports Madness first team All-American.
