  RECAP | BOX SCORE

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Jack Hawley threw three touchdown passes and Jonas Lewis rushed for 131 yards to lead San Diego State to a 39-7 victory over Wyoming on Saturday night, ending the Cowboys' slim bowl hopes.

Hawley completed 13-of-23 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns to lead an offense that gained 478 total yards, including 246 on the ground.

Lewis, a senior, moved into second place behind Marshall Faulk on San Diego State's career rushing list with 2,854 yards. Faulk gained 4,589 in three seasons.

San Diego State (5-6, 3-4 Mountain West Conference) stymied a Wyoming offense that averaged 38 points and 502 yards in winning its last three games. The Cowboys hurt their chances with four turnovers.

Wyoming (7-4, 4-3 MWC) lost the opportunity to share the inaugural MWC championship with Brigham Young, Utah and Colorado State, each of whom finished at 5-2 in conference action.

The Cowboys hoped a share of the MWC title might net them one of conference's two bowl bids.

San Diego State, which led 15-7 at halftime, took control of the game when it scored on Hawley's 3-yard pass to J.R. Tolver five plays into the second half. The touchdown was set up when Tim Beasley fumbled and the Aztecs recovered at the Cowboys' 8-yard line.

San Diego State also scored in the second half on Larry Ned's 35-yard run, a 73-yard interception return by Will Demps, and Nate Tandberg's 32-yard field goal.

Hawley threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Lewis on San Diego State's first possession.

After Wyoming tied it on a 50-yard touchdown pass from Jay Stoner to Kofi Shuck, San Diego State used a safety and Hawley's 3-yard TD pass to Jim Ange to take a 15-7 halftime lead.
