BOISE, Idaho -- San Diego State had its best performance in its season finale. Mark Messier Jersey . Behind a swarming defence, an offence fueled by big plays and opportunistic special teams, the Aztecs rolled to a 49-24 victory over Buffalo on Saturday in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. For coach Rocky Long, its the kind of game he has been waiting for his team to put together all season, a win where all three phases worked together, avoided costly mistakes and took full advantage of the miscues of others. "I thought thats the best weve played all year," Long said. "We moved the ball well, we caused turnovers. I thought the turnover battle would decide who won and thats exactly what happened. We just happened to be on the right side of that battle." Takeaways werent the only factor playing in San Diego States favour. Adam Muema scored three touchdowns and rushed for 230 yards, his fourth career game with more than 200 yards on the ground. Quinn Kaehler threw for two more scores and ran for another in leading an offence that generated 460 total yards. Kaehler, who made his first start in the third game, was 15 of 28 for 211 yards, and his two TD passes helped the Aztecs (8-5, 6-2 Mountain West) pull away early. Taking advantage of a pair of costly Buffalo turnovers, the Aztecs put up 21 straight points during a 5-minute span in the second and third quarters. With less than a minute left in the first half, Aztec safety Marcus Andrews intercepted Joe Licatas pass near midfield and returned it to the 25 to set up Kaehlers first TD pass, a 25-yarder to Dylan Denso that put San Diego State up 28-10 heading into halftime. Buffalo coughed up the ball on the opening kick in the third quarter, setting up the Aztecs at the Bulls 26. Five plays later, Kaehler fired an 11-yard pass to tight end Adam Roberts at the back of the end zone to stretch the lead to 35-10. The Aztecs won eight of their last 10 games. The bowl victory is the first in the post-season since 2010 when they beat Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl and the first post-season victory outside San Diego city limits since 1969. For Buffalo coach Jeff Quinn, the turnovers were too much to overcome. "Ive always said, youve got to take great care of the ball, and right then and there, it turned into a three score difference," he said. "It was a very disappointing loss today." Buffalo (8-5, 6-2 Mid-American Conference), playing in its second bowl game in the teams 100-year history, also was hobbled by an offence that took too long to get rolling and a defence that failed to create its own turnovers. The Bulls didnt get their first first down until the 10:42 mark in the second quarter. They pulled to 14-10 late in the second quarter when Patrick Clarke kicked a 38-yard field goal. But the defence, led by MAC Defensive Player of the Year Kahlil Mack, didnt have an answer for Muema and the Aztecs on the following possession. San Diego State marched 67 yards in five plays and scored when Muema sped around left end from 8 yards out. Moments later, Licata threw his only interception. "In that situation, I took a risk I shouldnt have taken. Thats all on me," said Licata, who was 13 of 30 for 196 yards and was sacked four times. Bulls running back Branden Oliver had for 114 yards on 28 carries, but the rest of the offence only managed 309 total yards. Mack, who was the focus of San Diego States game plan, had just six tackles, as the Aztecs ran the other way or double-teamed him throughout. The Bulls came into the game with a plus-1.3 turnover margin, among the best in the nation. Mack recovered a fumble near midfield in the first quarter, but the offence couldnt capitalize against a defence that pressured Licata and bottled up Oliver early. San Diego State started the season with three straight losses, but showed throughout an ability to overcome adversity. Three wins came in overtime and the Aztecs came from behind in the fourth quarter to win games. On Saturday, they didnt need any late-game drama and heroics. "Guys decided tonight we were going to play up to our abilities and it showed," Aztecs safety Nat Berhe said. "Its kind of sad we didnt play like that all year. But at the same time, Im glad it happened today." Ron Duguay Rangers Jersey . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. Ron Duguay Jersey .

"Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. http://www.hockeyrangersjerseysofficial.com/Martin-StLouis-Rangers-Jersey/ .

After earning a 5-2 road win Thursday against the Predators, the Hurricanes returned home to beat the San Jose Sharks by a 5-3 count on Friday. Rookie Elias Lindholm capped a three-point night by scoring the go-ahead goal with six minutes remaining in the third period to help Carolina down the Sharks. Lindholm, the fifth overall pick of last summers draft, had gone five straight games without a point before posting a goal and two assists on Friday.

Jordan Staal, Riley Nash and Jay Harrison each had a goal and an assist, while Eric Staal scored the other goal for the Hurricanes. Cam Ward made 22 stops for Carolina in the win. "The nice thing the guys are learning if they just stay the course and play the game the right way, youre going to get certain results consistently," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. Carolina will try to stay hot on the road, as the club is beginning a four- game swing on Monday. The Canes, who also are set to visit Edmonton, Calgary and Phoenix during this trip, are 6-6-1 on the road this season.
