LOGAN — It would seem that there is a price to be paid every time Darwin Thompson scores a touchdown for the Aggies. And, since the junior running back out of Tulsa, Oklahoma, currently leads Utah State with 16 total touchdowns, that makes it an extremely hefty toll.
But the price Thompson has had endure during his first season of football at the Division I level hasn’t come via punishing hits from much larger Mountain West defenders.
Rather, it’s an overly exuberant center who seemingly can’t keep himself from celebrating Thompson’s scores with huge bear hugs and/or lifting the 5-foot-8, 200-pound back skyward.
