Top 25 Roundup
Published on September 02, 2007 at 01:22AM
(Ann Arbor, Mich.) For the first time since the distinction has been made between Division I and I-AA programs in college football, a I-AA squad defeated a ranked D-I team as the Appalachian State Mountaineers upset the #5 Michigan Wolverines Saturday afternoon at Michigan Stadium. Armanti Edwards completed 17 of 23 passes for 227 yards, two touchdowns (including two to speedy receiver Dexter Jackson) and two interceptions as he operated a stellar offensive scheme. ASU led 31-26 late in the 4th Quarter when Mike Hart (188 yardds, three touchdowns) scored on a 54-yard run to give Michigan a 32-31 lead. Julian Rauch connected on a 24-yard field goal with 26 seconds left while Corey Lynch blocked a Michigan field goal attempt as time expired.

(El Paso, Texas) Terrell Jackson had 13 carries for 69 yards and the game-winning 36-yard touchdown in the 4th Quarter as the Texas-El Paso Miners got past the New Mexico Lobos, 10-6 Saturday night at the Sun Bowl in the 75th installment of this rivalry. Traditionally, these schools have been known for their offensive power but this evening the defenses took center stage. Despite the fact that the Lobos outgained the Miners, 370-209, two missed field goals by John Sullivan proved costly, particularly as after Sullivan’s second miss, Jackson scored just moments later. Rodney Ferguson amassed 33 rushes for 132 yards while former Snow linebacker Brett Madsen led New Mexico with five tackles.
