LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Ryan Lindley passed for 365 yards and three touchdowns and Brandon Sullivan scored on three short runs to lead San Diego State past Wyoming 48-38 Saturday.

Lindley had TD passes of 56 and 59 yards to DeMarco Sampson, who had seven catches for 175 yards. Lindley also connected with D.J. Shields on a 14-yard score. Vincent Brown caught five passes for 144 yards.
Sullivan scored all his TDs on 1-yard runs. They were the first rushing touchdowns by the Aztecs at War Memorial Stadium since 2000.
Austyn Carta-Samuels led the Cowboys (2-7, 0-5) with 186 yards and three TDs in the air and 51 yards rushing and a score on the ground.
