Utah State coach Matt Wells promised that the follow-up work involved with the Aggies' stunning rout of Boise State last week would be "a challenge our guys will gladly accept."
The Aggies' response? Unacceptable.
In the wake of Friday night's 48-14 loss to San Diego State at Qualcomm Stadium, it is clear that living up to the standards of being the Mountain West's best team was too much for this team. That's surprising, after how far USU's program has come in this decade.
The Aggies were overwhelmed from the start, trailing 24-0 in the second quarter and 34-7 at halftime.
