CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) — Milo Hall had 21 carries for 128 yards and three touchdowns and Northern Colorado held off Southern Utah 42-39 Saturday night.

Southern Utah was held to a three-and-out, but on the punt, Dante Jackson fumbled, and the Thunderbirds' Carlton Johnson recovered at the Bears 11. Karris Davis then ran it in from 11 yards out to cut the deficit to 42-25.
