Warner passes for game's only TD, Lynch kicks 4 field goals and Fresno State
wins Arizona Bowl
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) --- E.J. Warner threw for 214 yards and a touchdown, Dylan
Lynch kicked four field goals and Fresno State defeated Miami of Ohio 18-3 in
the Arizona Bowl on Saturday night.
On defense, Fresno State kept Miami out of the red zone the whole game, except
for the RedHawks' opening possession when they reached the 15-yard line before
Dom Dzioban kicked a 33-yard field goal for their only points of the game.
The Bulldogs, one of 15 teams in FBS to keep their opponents under an average
of 300 yards per game (293.5), allowed 192 yards.
After Miami's early field goal, Lynch made three of his 3-pointers in the
second quarter, leading to a 9-3 halftime lead. That advantage held into the
fourth quarter when Warner hit Richie Anderson III with a 2-yard touchdown
pass. Looking for a 14-point lead, the Bulldogs went for two on the conversion,
but Warner's pass failed, leaving the score at 15-3.
Lynch added his fourth field goal, in five attempts, with 2:56 remaining. The
37-yarder was his long for the game as the other three were all from less than
30 yards.
Fresno State, playing in its fifth consecutive bowl game, got the win for
first-year coach Matt Entz. Miami, which also played in its fifth-straight bowl
game, lost in its repeat appearance in the Arizona Bowl. The RedHawks defeated
Colorado State 43-17 last year.
Warner completed 16 of 23 passes and was not intercepted. Josiah Freeman had
143 yards receiving on seven catches for Fresno State (9-4).
Freshman Thomas Gotkowski was 6-of-22 passing for 72 yards for Miami (7-7). He
threw one interception.
