McCaffrey, no-break defense lead Northern Colorado victory

CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) Dylan McCaffrey threw for one touchdown and ran for another and Northern Colorado defeated Southern Utah 17-9 on Saturday night.

McCaffrey, the former Michigan quarterback now playing for his dad, had modest passing numbers - 11 of 23 for 74 yards - but rushed for 100 yards on 14 carries. Tru Wilson added 85 yards rushing and the Bears finished with 251 yards on the ground.

The Bears (3-5, 2-3 Big Sky Conference), who had allowed an average of 45 points in their past three games, didn't allow a touchdown and twice forced field goals when the Thunderbirds (1-7, 0-5) reached the red zone.
