LOGAN — The scoreline up at the newly-renamed Maverik Stadium is both surprising and unusual.
Southern Utah leads Utah State 9-5 at halftime.
Big Sky Conference's Thunderbirds drew first blood on Ammon Olsen's 27-yard touchdown pass to Mike Sharp just 33 seconds into the first quarter.
But it didn't take long for USU to respond, blocking the extra point and returning it for two points. Utah State later tacked on a field goal to cut the lead to one, 6-5. And that's the way it stayed for most of the first half until SUU kicked a field goal with four seconds left.
