No. 4 CSU Pueblo stayed perfect yesterday (10/24/26) afternoon, holding off a Fort Lewis rally for a 28-21 win in a Homecoming mud bowl at Ray Dennison Memorial Field in Durango. Nyir Jones set the tone on the very first play, taking the opening kickoff 89 yards to the house for his 2nd kickoff return for a TD in as many weeks. The Pack built a 28-7 lead midway through the 3rd quarter, capped by an Evan Powell 57-yard TD run. Then it got interesting. Cooper Payne scooped up a ThunderWolves fumble and took it 23 yards for a TD, and Baylor Seabolt punched it in from the 1 on 4th & goal early in the 4th to cut the lead to 7. On a soggy field after historic rainfall, CSU Pueblo leaned on its ground game, rushing for 277 Yds and outgaining the Skyhawks 367-135. When it mattered most, the Pack's defense came up big, blocking a punt and stuffing Fort Lewis on downs at its own 6 with 1:27 left to seal the victory. Leading CSU Pueblo to the win were: 🏈 Navi Bruzon, 7 Cmps on 10 Atts for 90 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Evan Powell, 11 Carries for 139 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Moosah Alsaffar, 15 Carries for 75 Yds; 🏈 Russell Patton, 9 Carries for 44 Yds & 1 TD, becoming the 23rd player in program history to reach 1,000 career rushing Yds; 🏈 Colton Rose, 4 Recs for 74 Yds & 1 TD; 🏈 Nyir Jones, an 89-yard Kickoff Return TD; 🏈 Jaylen Booth, 6 Tackles (1 Solo & 5 Ast); 🏈 Jason Thome, 5 Tackles (3 Solo & 2 Ast) with 1 TFL; 🏈 Oliver Welch, 1 INT; & 🏈 Maliek Jamison, 1 Blocked Punt. With the win, CSU Pueblo improves to 8-0 (6-0 RMAC), extends its DII-best RMAC win streak to 31 straight games, and extends its DII-best road win streak to 19 straight games, while Fort Lewis falls to 2-5 (1-5 RMAC). The ThunderWolves return home to the ThunderBowl next Saturday (10/31) to host BHSU at 1:00 (MT), while Fort Lewis hits the road to take on Chadron St. Here are a few highlights from the ThunderWolves' road win: #RMAC #RMACfb #CSUPuebloFB #BackThePack
