On a beautiful and warm afternoon from Snapdragon Stadium, located in America's finest city, the Aztecs and Rockets hooked up in a game that many said was a defensive struggle. Others just said boring. Either way, Sleeping Beauty woke up just in time to deliver a heart-stopping finish as the Aztecs pulled away 17-14 against a very good Toledo Rockets team. An announced sun-drenched crowd of 27,108 witnessed a strong Aztec rushing game offset a passing game on life support. Jordan Byrd, the fleet-footed running back/returner, took the ball in from one yard out with less than a minute to play.
