The surest way to make a young adult do something is to tell them not to. It stands to reason that college students who have escaped Mom and Dad’s watchful eyes are ready and willing to do everything they couldn’t at home.
But what if drinking alcohol wasn’t forbidden to the pre-college crowd?

SAN DIEGO – Andrew Gardner earned himself a new nickname Saturday night, on the biggest stage of his life.
By splitting the uprights with a 21-yard field goal as time expired, the 5-foot-7, 162-pound junior gave his Cal Poly football team a 29-27 win at San Diego State, making the Mustangs the only Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) team in the opening week of college football to successfully swing up at a Football Bowl Subdivision (I-A) counterpart, sending the sizable Cal Poly gathering of the 26,851 at Qualcomm Stadium into pandemonium.
