EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- They may have been playing a game that determined which team would finish last in the American Athletic Conference but Tulane coach Willie Fritz said his players were extremely motivated against UConn Saturday.Running backs Lazedrick Thompson and Josh Rounds combined for five touchdowns and Tulane snapped a six-game losing streak with a 38-13 win over UConn Saturday night in the season finale for both teams.Its been a really frustrating season, Fritz said. We talked last night about how this is a game of pride. We have to come out, and number one, pride is something pretty important to play for. I thought our guys really exhibited a lot of competitiveness, toughness in all three phases.Tulane (4-8, 1-7 American) scored the games first 24 points to break a 14-game conference losing streak. Its last conference win came against Central Florida, 45-31, Oct. 3, 2015.UConn (3-9, 1-7) saw its season end on a six-game losing streak.Tough game. Tough year. Long, hard year, UConn coach Bob Diaco said. Expectations were spectacularly high. Obviously performance and production was spectacularly low.Thompson finished with 108 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns, including a 45-yard jaunt in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring.Rounds had 78 yards rushing on 16 carries and two touchdowns.UConns Arkeel Newsome scored both of UConns touchdowns. He ran for a season-high 166 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, while adding 28 yards and another score on two catches.Donovan Williams, a true freshman making his third career start, completed 11-of-26 passes for 104 yards for the Huskies. He had two interceptions and his first career touchdown pass.Tulane entered the game ranked 119th nationally in total offense and UConn was 122nd. Some had thought the game might resemble last years meeting in New Orleans, a game UConn won 7-3.Tulanes Larry Bryant blocked a UConn punt on the fifth play of the game, setting his team up at the 23-yard line for its first possession. But the Green Wave settled for a 23-yard Andrew DiRocco field goal and a 3-0 lead.After quickly forcing another UConn punt, a 32-yard pass from Glen Cuiellette to tight end Kendall Ardoin set the Green Wave up with a first-and-goal. Rounds scored on a 1-yard plunge two plays later.Field position made it easy, said Cuiellette, whose team held a 19-minute advantage in time of possession. It was a whole different mentality going in there for a drive starting on the 25, 20, inside the red zone. It makes it easier on us.Tulane led 10-0 after one quarter as UConn completed the season without scoring a first-quarter touchdown -- the only team in the nation that failed to do so. The Huskies were outscored 76-9 in the first quarter this season.UConn wide receiver Noel Thomas caught six passes and finished with a school-record 100 this season. He also carried the ball three times for 20 yards and completed a pass to Williams on an early trick play.UConn safety Obi Melifonwu made 24 tackles, tying the school record, in the loss.THE TAKEAWAYUConn: Some fans and media have called for Diacos firing but the $5 million buyout his contract calls for makes that a difficult proposition for the school. He said he expects to return. No doubt. I have a contract until 2021. Unless my calendar is wrong, its 2016, Diaco said.Tulane: Fritz earned his first-ever American Athletic Conference win thanks to an inspired group that made big defensive and special teams plays: two blocked kicks and two interceptions.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies season is over and Diacos tenure with the team is in doubt.Tulane: The Green Waves season is over as well, albeit with a little more momentum.

Custom Cincinnati Reds Jerseys . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Wyoming defensive tackle Chase Appleby didnt practice all week because he was recovering from a concussion and was dog sick on Thursday. It didnt show two days later.But Appleby highlighted a resurgent Wyoming program when he sacked Brett Rypien and forced a fumble that bounced out of the back of the end zone for a safety with 1:25 left to give the Cowboys a 30-28 upset victory over No. 13 Boise State on Saturday night.I tried to put a good hit on him, and I saw the ball fly out, Appleby said. I wanted to recover it for another score but well take the safety.It was Wyomings first win over the Broncos in 11 games between the two teams and its first victory over a Top 25 team since beating No. 22 Air Force in 2002. Thousands of fans swarmed the field and the Cowboys players as the final seconds ticked off.Josh Allen completed 18 of 31 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns, and Brian Hill ran for 146 yards for the Cowboys (6-2, 4-0 Mountain West).Rypien completed 22 of 35 passes for 295 yards, and caught a 33-yard TD pass on a trick play for Boise State (7-1, 3-1). Jeremey McNichols ran for 143 yards and two TDs, and Jake Hollister caught six passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns.The game featured two of the top running backs in the nation in Hill, who entered the weekend second in rushing, and McNichols, who was No. 6. Wyoming outgained Boise State 489 yards to 487.Wyoming, which trailed 21-7 in the first half, tied it on a 27-yard TD pass from Allen to Tanner Gentry , followed by a 2-point conversion on a pass from Allen to Jake Maulhardt with 6:42 left in the fourth quarter.The teams traded possessions with Boise State getting the ball at its own 10-yard line with 1:38 remaining.After an incomplete pass, Rypien was sacked by Appleby near the goal line and the bounced through the back of the end zone.We trust Brett, and they made a play, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. Hes trying to get the ball out. This is football, this is every week football and sometimes that ball bounces funny and it came out and they got the safety at a critical time in the game.THE TAKEAWAYYBoise State: Saw its hopes of cracking the Top 10 and eventually earning a spot in the College Football Playoff dashed.dddddddddddd The Broncos likely needed an unblemished record to do that.Wyoming: The win shows its a program on the upswing. The team is stocked with youth and is vastly improved under the direction of coach Craig Bohl after finishing last season 2-10.Theres wins that you look back on that help define a program -- this is one of them, Bohl, who brought his brand of more traditional type football to Laramie, said.Entering Saturdays game, Boise State had beaten Wyoming in five previous contests between the two teams at Laramie by an average of 30.8 points.Harsin credited Bohl for Wyomings improvement.They got some mojo going on out there, he said.POLL IMPLICATIONSBoise State will likely fall in the poll . The question is how far. Wyoming might get consideration from a few poll voters, but it certainly will draw more attention the rest of this season and next year.TURNOVER WOES: Entering the game, Harsin lamented the 11 turnovers the Broncos had committed this season against only three takeaways by his team. Things didnt improve against Wyoming, as Boise State turned the ball over twice on an interception thrown by Rypien and a fumble by McNichols. The Broncos fumbled two more times but retained possession. Meantime, the Broncos defense intercepted Allen once for one turnover.WYOMING TIGHT END: Bohl said he wanted to make better use of Hollister at tight end. Entering the game, Hollister had just 10 catches for 112 yards on the season. He certainly was a weapon today, Bohl said.UP NEXTBoise State: The Broncos return home for a game against San Jose State this Friday night. It is the second of three Friday night contests for Boise State this season. The Broncos are 27-7 in Friday night games.Wyoming: The Cowboys host Utah State next Saturday.
