Coachspeak: “I’m hoping this is a game that some day we can look back and realize it was a turning point for us. We do have a strong belief in our team now, and we need to carry it on to the rest of our games.” – Coach Chuck Long, after the Aztecs erased a 21-0 deficit and came back to beat Wyoming 27-24 two weeks ago. It was their biggest comeback victory in 33 years.
