It’s fair to say Utah State center Quin Ficklin is hungry to play another football game.
The BYU transfer is equally as motivated to remove the bad taste from his mouth after the Aggies blew 11-point leads twice in their regular season finale — a 38-35 road loss to Air Force. Because of that setback, Ficklin and the rest of his teammates weren’t certain they would be going bowling.
After some nervous moments on the first Sunday of December, the Aggies were invited to the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl later that afternoon. Utah State will play former conference rival New Mexico State next Friday in Tucson, Arizona.
