Natson leads Utah State past Wyoming, 20-3

The University of Wyoming Cowboy Football team struggled against a more defensive team tonight in Laramie, as the Utah State Aggies beat the Wyoming Cowboys 20-03.  Jo Jo Nason returned a punt 80 yards for touchdown and had a 66-yard scoring run to help Utah State beat Wyoming 20-3 Friday on night. Utah State (7-3, 4-1 Mountain West) became bowl eligible for the fourth straight year. The Aggies have never played in four consecutive bowl games.The 80-yard punt return is Natson's longest in the two years he has been returning punts and the second punt the junior wide receiver has returned for a TD this season. The 66-yard run also was the longest of his career. Natson's punt return and scoring run both came in the Aggies' 17point first quarter. Wyoming (4-6, 2-4) was led by last week's national player of the week, Brian Hill, who ran for 122 yards on 25 carries. It was Hill's third consecutive 100-yard game since entering the lineup full-time on Oct. 24 because of injuries to Wyoming's top two running backs.
