For most of the season, the Utah State Aggies have blown out opponents on offense and, at the same time, stifled them on defense. Their play has led to some lopsided final scores and heaps of praise.
But against Colorado State on Saturday, the Aggies didn’t play their best. A last-second call negated a whistle-beating Rams touchdown, and Utah State prevailed 29-24 to come away with a 10th straight win. The game presented the type of adversity that the team has dodged most of the season, but the outcome certainly was welcome.
In the locker room, Aggies players were thrilled but felt a collective sigh of relief.
