Nevada nips Colorado St. in Arizona Bowl
TUCSON, Ariz. — James Butler scored on a 4-
yard run with 1:06 left and Nevada benefited from a
late gaffe by Colorado State to beat the Rams 28-23 in
the inaugural Arizona Bowl on Tuesday night.
Colorado State (7-6) trailed most of the game be-
fore taking the lead on Wyatt Bryan’s 38-yard field
goal with just under 4 minutes left.
The Wolf Pack (7-6) responded quickly, marching
72 yards in eight plays to set up Butler’s tackle-break-
ing touchdown run.
Nick Stevens orchestrated a quick-hitting drive in
the final minute with no timeouts, but receiver Jor-
don Vaden was unable to get out of bounds at Neva-
da’s 12-yard line and time ran out on the Rams.
Stevens ran for 189 yards and Elijah Mitchell
scored on a 96-yard kickoff return in the bowl battle
between Mountain West Conference teams.
Stevens threw for 310 yards and a touchdown.
Colorado State earned a trip to a bowl game in its
first season under coach Mike Bobo, overcoming a
2-4 start by winning its final four games.
Nevada clinched its bowl berth with a win over
San Jose State on Nov. 14, but closed the season with
consecutive losses.
The reward for both teams was what amounted to
an extra conference game in the first non-playoffbowl
game between teams from the same conference since
the 1979 Orange Bowl.
Mountain West officials pleaded with anyone they
could to prevent an all-MWC bowl game and Com-
missioner Craig Thompson issued a lengthy state-
ment once the bowl slots were announced.

Despite missing two quarter-
backs, an award-winning receiv-
er, and a 1,000-yard running
back, the Bears’ No. 1-ranked
scoring offense stayed creative,
pounding out 645 yards rushing
and 756 total yards — both re-
cords for this bowl.
Devin Chafin added 161 yards
and a touchdown, and Terence
Williams rushed for 97 yards
and two touchdowns for the
Bears (10-3).
North Carolina (11-3) tried to
match Baylor’s scoring output
but had a key fumble in the third
quarter that stifled its comeback
efforts.
Marquise Williams passed
for 243 yards and three scores,
and rushed for two more. Elijah
Hood added 118 yards rushing.
The win was Baylor’s first
bowl victory since 2012, snap-
ping a string of two consecutive
bowl losses.
The biggest question leading
up to Tuesday’s matchup was
how Baylor’s offense would
adapt with quarterbacks Seth
Russell (neck injury) and Jarrett
Stidham (broken ankle), Bilet-
nikoff Award winner Corey
Coleman (hernia surgery), and
running back Shock Iinwood
(broken foot) all sidelined.
The answer became appar-
ent early on.
Though sophomore Chris
Johnson started the day at quar-
terback, five different players —
Johnson, his backup Lynx Haw-
thorne, and running backs Jef-
ferson, Chafin, and Terence Wil-
liams — all took snaps from cen-
ter for the Bears within the first
two series. They continued to
use the quintet in multiple
Wildcat formations throughout
the game.
North Carolina kept pace as
best it could and scored on its
opening possession of the sec-
ond half to cut what had been an
18-point first-half deficit to 28-

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State coach

year and is signed through 2020.
Athletic director Bill Moos also announced Tues-
day that defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and de-
fensive line coach Joe Salave’a have signed multi-year
contracts.
Leach guided the Cougars to a 9-4 record, includ-
ing a victory in the Sun Bowl, Washington State’s first
bowl win since the 2003 campaign.

NFL receives St. Louis’ Rams plan
A task force empaneled by Missouri’s governor
made its formal financing pitch Tuesday to the NFL for
a $1.1 billion stadium along the Mississippi River, hop-
ing to keep the St. Louis Rams from bolting for sub-
urban Los Angeles or attract a new team if they do.
The nearly 400-page tome sent by the group late
Monday arrived at the league’s New York offices Tues-
day, said Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman. The
league had set a Wednesday deadline for local gov-
ernments in St. Louis, Oakland and San Diego to sub-
mit their plans for new stadiums amid the possibility
of relocation as early as next season.
League owners meeting Jan. 12 and 13 in Houston
are expected to decide if as many as two of the teams
will be allowed to move.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a group plan-
ning a $1.8 billion stadium in Inglewood, California.
The Chargers and Raiders have teamed up on a joint
venture for a stadium in Carson, California.
The St. Louis proposal calls for $150 million from
the city, $250 million from the team, at least $200
million from the league and $160 million in fan seat
licenses. The rest of the money comes from the state.

PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns say leading scor-

dergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a tom meniscus in
his left knee.
The 26-year-old point guard was injured in the
team’s home loss to Philadelphia on Saturday. The
team said Bledsoe’s “prognosis is for a return to full
playing status for the start of training camp next fall.”
Bledsoe appeared in 31 games, averaging 20.4

HOBART, Australia — Badly damaged and close
to withdrawing, American yacht Comanche crossed
the finish line Monday to take fine honors in a storm-
wracked Sydney to Hobart race.
The 100-foot super maxi, owned by Netscape
founder Jim Clark and skippered by Ken Read,
reached Hobart’s Constitution Dock at 10 p.m. local
time to complete the 628 nautical-mile race in 2 days,
8 hours, 58 minutes, 30 seconds.
It was the first American winner since 1998. Aus-

put them in front 42-24.

UPCOMING LOCAL SCHEDULE
tralia’s Ragamuffin 100 crept over the finish fine Tues-
day only meters ahead of American yacht Rambler
88 after the two super maxis engaged in a slow-mo-
tion race for second place.
On the race’s first night Saturday, Comanche
turned back to Sydney after striking an unknown ob-
ject, damaging its port rudder and dagger board.
Read decided to continue, forcing the crew to learn to
sail the yacht in an entirely new way, avoiding long
periods on starboard tack.
