Utah State football: Bright shines as Aggies adjust running game

Logan • Utah State has used its bye week to refine a running game crippled by injury, according to coach Matt Wells.

Senior running back Devante Mays has played one snap since suffering a leg injury at USC on Sept. 10. Going forward, his status remains unclear.

In Mays' absence, junior Tonny Lindsey Jr. has emerged as the Aggies' No. 1 running back.

Behind him, Wells and his staff were juggling LaJuan Hunt and Justen Hervey — at least until Utah State's most-recent 31-24 loss at Colorado State.

Against the Rams, wide receivers Gerold Bright and Kennedy Williams moved into the backfield and gave Lindsey an occasional breather.
