BYU Comes Out On Top In Poinsettia Bowl.

For the most part, this year's San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl was a very boring game to watch for most viewer's. But it was late in the fourth quarter when BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy stripped the ball from the San Diego State quarterback, Adam Dingwell and jumped on it for a BYU touchdown, which put them ahead 10-6.
             On the first play of the next drive for San Diego State, Dingwell fumbled the snap which was then recovered by BYU's Jordan Johnson and ended in a BYU touchdown. After the second touchdown in just 17 seconds, BYU's momentum was sky high as there defense forced five San Diego turnovers, and four of them being in the fourth quarter.
            With just 6:09 left in the in game, Kyle Van Noy intercepted Dingwell's pass and returned it to the house for Van Noy's second defensive touchdown of the game and put away SDSU for good. Van Noy was named the defensive MVP after the game. The BYU head coach, Bronco Mendenhall said, "Kyle is a fantastic football player, and changed the game for us and was the reason we won the game."
