Dominate performance key to third straight win
The Aggies came out fired up and ready to prove they were back this week. After an emotional win against Hawaii last week Utah State wanted to show it was no fluke and they proved it. The offense scored in every quarter of the game with very few mistakes if any.
The defense played is best game of the year in this one. It had multiple turnovers and set the offense up with great field position all day long. It was an outstanding performance by every single player on that team.
After the game Coach McGriffLe had this to say, "Well I guess my halftime speech worked." (Laughter) "Nice game played by our team. That was a total team effort out there. Our defense came to play in the second half showing everyone what they can do when they put their minds to it. I am very proud of this team. After that three game losing streak, people were saying that Utah State is done. They are going to be back in the bottom of the WAC wear they have been for the last decade. Our boys responded amazingly. Proving everyone of there naysayers wrong."
