1st year Defensive Coordinator Jimmy Barnett was smiling ear to ear as the clock turned to zeros yesterday as Alaska State managed to hold in check a quick scoring Fresno offense, holding on for a 34-28 victory, securing first place in the West division. Alaska State jumped out to an early 7-0 lead before surrendering 2 quick scores to the Bulldogs. 2 second quarter field goals brought the SnowCats to within 1 point at the half. Then the 'Cats defense turned it up, intercepting Fresno QB Anthony Jacobs twice, one returned for a touchdown by defensive team captain Rashaun Morris, who also led the team with 9 tackles.
RB Shaun Peterson carried the ball and the offense, rushing 27 times for 135yds and 3 TD, and 25yds receiving, earning Peterson his first All-Conference Player of the Week Award. RB Stanford Houston was lost to an undisclosed arm injury in the 3rd quarter, giving true freshman William Davis 9 carries for 31 yards. Davis, the starting strong safety, also had 6 tackles on the day.
