FORT COLLINS, Col. (AP) — Avery Morrow ran for 156 yards with two touchdowns and Colorado State defeated UTEP 27-17.

In the third quarter, Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi’s short touchdown pass to Armani Winfield, followed by a 37-yard Jordan Noyes field goal made it 24-3 midway through the period. UTEP rallied with touchdown passes of 28 and 56 yards from Cade McConnell pass to Kenny Odom to make it 24-17 early in the fourth but Noyes’ 39-yard field goal wrapped up the scoring.
