DETROIT – A short-handed Bowling Green State University football team nearly pulled off a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback on Monday.
The scrambling ability of New Mexico State quarterback Diego Pavia was a big reason why the Falcons fell just short.
New Mexico State converted four third-down conversions in running out the clock on its final drive, including three via running plays from the dual-threat signal caller, as the Aggies held off a late BGSU comeback for a 24-19 win in the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.
“Diego drives me crazy sometimes, but when it comes down to winning, he finds a way to win,” New Mexico State coach Jerry Kill said.
