CSUN VS. NEW MEX. STATE: A CLOSER LOOK : NOTEBOOK: CSUN TRIO PUNISHED FOR VIOLATION.


The Matadors' running game was thrown for a major loss before the game even started when coach Jim Fenwick suspended all three of his top running backs for the first half as punishment for violating team rules.

Norman Clarke, Jahi Arnold and Marcus Harvey Marcus Harvey (born 1963 in Leeds) is an English artist and painter, and one of the Young British Artists (YBAs). Exhibitions
Harvey has shown work internationally in many exhibitions including ‘The Führer's Cakes’ at Galleria Marabini in Bologna,
 - who have been splitting time evenly as the featured runners - were all benched for the first half. The team would not elaborate on the rule violation.

Clark, Arnold and Harvey have accounted for 170 rushing yards and three touchdowns. With the trio unavailable, the Matadors normally would have started Deriek Charles, but he did not travel with the team on this trip.

Geoff Snowden, a junior with just one carry this season, started instead. He looked good in spurts in the first half, gaining 46 yards on nine carries, but he also fumbled the ball at midfield after a 25-yard gain early in the second quarter.

Afterward, the team was mum on the running backs' transgressions, other than that it happened Friday night in Las Cruces Las Cruces (läs kr`sĭs), city (1990 pop. 62,126), seat of Dona Ana co., SW N.Mex., on the Rio Grande, in a farm area irrigated by the Elephant Butte system; founded 1848, inc. 1907. .

Arnold said he was anxious to get in the game. ``I just wanted to throw in my two cents My two cents may refer to either of these:
  • My two cents is an American idiom.
  • My Two Cents is an element of the American cartoon TV show The Simpsons.
,'' he said.

Henry was also the intended receiver in the end zone on the play before the field goal. Quarerback Aaron Flowers' pass bounced off the back of Aggie defender Waylon Waters, and Henry had no chance at it.

Flowers also added to his own passing touchdown record, throwing one score to increase his career total to 39.

THE HERO

Aggies running back Denvis Manns Denvis Manns (Born: July 21, 1976) was the third ever NCAA running back to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons after Tony Dorsett (University of Pittsburgh, 1973-1977) and Amos Lawrence (University of North Carolina, 1977-1980). . After being held out of last year's 33-0 loss to Northridge, the junior wore out the Matadors with a 221-yard, two-touchdown performance.

THE GOAT

The CSUN offense. Though the defense couldn't stop Manns, it was the offense that killed countless scoring opportunities with miscues, including two interceptions and two lost fumbles. The turnovers often came so quickly, the defense never had a chance to catch its collective breath before coming back on the field.

STAT OF THE GAME

354, the net rushing yards surrendered by the Matadors, the most they've given up since Idaho State put up 321 last November in a 42-40 CSUN win. Quarterback Ty Houghtaling added 99 rushing yards to Manns' output.

QUOTE OF THE GAME

``We just weren't lining up right at all. Mentally, we just brain-farted.'' - CSUN linebacker Marc Goodson, explaining that defensive alignment mistakes allowed Manns to run wild.
