Rushing game stalls at the worst possible time for Aggies

After all, they averaged just over 282 passing yards heading into Saturday’s Mountain West Mountain Division championship game against the Boise State Broncos at Albertsons Stadium. Junior quarterback Jordan Love has a lot to do with that.

But make no mistake: The Aggies have been much more than a throwing team this season. They averaged 216.5 rushing yards per game and tallied 34 touchdowns off run plays through its first 11 games, 10 of which were victories.

On Saturday, however, Utah State’s run game fell flat in the 33-24 loss to the Broncos. The Aggies mustered only 62 rushing yards.
