ITS LIKE 1993 ALL OVER AGAIN -- Utah State's 2011 and 1993 seasons are eerily similar - 1993's squad opened with 1-5 record before winning the last five games of its regular-season, advancing to the Las Vegas Bowl where it defeated Ball State, 42-33... The 2011 Aggies began the year with a 2-5 mark before winning their last five games of the regular season, advancing to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho.

OR IS IT LIKE 1997? -- Utah State's 2011 season also has a strong resemblance to 1997, when USU advanced to the first-ever Humanitarian Bowl (now known as the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) in Boise, Idaho and faced a team with a feline mascot from the state of Ohio in the Cincinnati Bearcats... The 2011 Aggies advanced to the first-ever titled Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho, playing a team from the state of Ohio in the Ohio Bobcats.

LAST TIME OUT -- Junior QB Adam Kennedy hit fellow junior, WR Matt Austin with an 8-yard TD toss with 35 seconds left for another dramatic last-minute comeback with with a 24-21 victory at New Mexico State... After a squib kick on the kickoff, sophomore CB Nevin Lawson intercepted NMSU QB Matt Christian's pass to seal the visiting Aggies' win... Lawson's interception was significant for two-fold, as it was not only the first interception by a defensive back this season, but it was Lawson's second game-sealing oskie of his career, as he had a pick in the endzone in the waning seconds to seal Utah State's 38-34 win at San Jose State last year.

The win over NMSU Saturday was also Utah State's ninth game this season decided by one score... The nine games is tied for the most in the country for one-score games, joined by with Kansas State... Overall, 10 of USU's 12 games have been decided by 10 points or less.

It was Utah State's fourth win this season with less than a minute or no time on the clock, joining the Aggies' wins at Hawai'i, at Idaho and home vs. San Jose State... The game-winning TD with 35 seconds left ranks No. 10 in USU's last-minutes game-winning scores since 1991 list... It was also Utah State's second last-minute win over New Mexico State in that span, as USU beat NMSU, 45-44 in OT in 2002.

Utah State's offensive line plowed the way for the visiting Aggies' rushing attack to amass 392 rushing yards Saturday, as USU rushed for its season-high against a Foot-ball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent this season, and second-highest of the season behind 440 yards vs. Weber State, and Saturday was USU's 11th-best rushing output in the program's history... The 392 rushing yards gives USU 3,330 rushing yards on the season, a new school record, bettering the previous mark of 3,120 set in 1960.

USU ended the day with 515 yards of total offense, as Kennedy was 12-of-16 pass-ing for 123 yards with a season-high three TD's, his fourth multi-TD passing outing in the just over four-and-a-half games that he has been the main signal-caller for USU.

Senior RB Michael Smith had a career-best outing with 121 yards on 18 carries, while junior RB Robert Turbin had 98 yards on 25 rushes and Kennedy added a career-high 95 yards on 15 carries... Junior RB Kerwynn Williams also had 68 yards rushing.

ABOUT OHIO -- The Bobcats are 9-4 overall after going 6-2 in Mid-American Conference action, winning the MAC East Division title and advancing to the MAC Championship game, where they lost to Northern Illinois, 23-20, on Saturday in Detroit... Ohio led 20-0 at halftime, but NIU rallied back and kicked a 33-yard field goal on the last play to cap a furious rally... Ohio sophomore QB Tyler Tettleton, the son of former major league catcher Mickey Tettleton, went 18-of-31 for 218 yards with no TDs and three interceptions... He also ran for a touchdown, but his final interception, with 8:49 to play, set the stage for the Northern Illinois comeback... The Bobcats opened their best start to a season since 1976 with a 3-0 start, and closed the regular-season with a five-game win streak that was snapped with the loss to NIU... Ohio's MAC East Division title was its third in the last six years... The Bobcats earned a league-best 11 spots on the All-MAC team.

Ohio averages 453.5 ypg of total offense, with 250.9 ypg passing and 202.6 ypg rush-ing, with 28 TDs passing and 17 rushing scores, averaging 31.0 ppg... The Bobcats' defense yields 354.9 ypg with 228.8 ypg passing and 126.1 ypg rushing, allowing 23 passing TDs and 11 rushing TDs, giving up 22.1 ppg.

Tettleton adds 627 yards rush-ing on 150 carries (4.2 ypc/48.2 ypg) with a team-leading nine rushing TDs...

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK, WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE -- USU has made LL Cool J proud in four of the last five games, as the Aggies rallied from a double-digit deficit for the sixth time in the last two years with comeback wins over Hawai‘i, San Jose State, Nevada and New Mexico State... In the win over San Jose State, the Aggies overcame a double-digit deficit, which was not only USU's second game in a row in rallying from down double digits and scoring the game-winning TD in the final minute, but it was also the second year in a row that the Aggies rallied from down double digits and scored in the final minute against San Jose State, as last year at San Jose, Derrvin Speight scored a 15-yard TD run with 34 seconds left to give USU a 38-34 win over SJSU, rallying from down 10-0... On Nov. 12 of this season at Hawai'i, USU rallied from down 28-7 late in the first half to win, 35-31, and against Nevada on Nov. 26, the Aggies came back from down 10-0 in the second quarter... Last year, at San Jose State, the Aggies rallied from down 10-0 at San Jose State and winning, 38-34, a week after being down 14-0 to New Mexico State before rallying to win, 27-22... The 28-7 comeback at Hawai‘i was the largest against an FBS team since at least 1990 and the second-largest since then, behind the 27-0 rally against Idaho State in 2001, rallying to win, 28-27... Ironically, eight of USU's nine comebacks have been in November, including two on Nov. 2, while New Mexico State and San Jose State have each been the victim twice.Deficit Winning Score Opponent Date27-0 28-27 vs. Idaho State Oct. 20, 200128-7 35-31 AT HAWAI‘I NOV. 5, 201114-0 27-22 vs. New Mexico State Nov. 6, 201013-0 21-13 vs. North Texas Nov. 2, 199633-21 34-33 VS.

LAST MINUTE GAME-WINNING SCORES -- USU's last-minute game-winner against New Mexico State was the Aggies' fourth game-winning score with less then a minute or no time on the clock in their last five games and three of the four have been on the road, as was the case with the win at NMSU... The Idaho win was USU's second double-OT win since 1991, and the fourth overall in that time with :00 on the clock... This season USU has tied for the top spot on the last minute game-winners list (:00 at Idaho), as well as the No. 6 spot (:14 at Hawai‘i), No. 10 spot (:35 at NMSU) and No. 11 (:47 vs. SJSU)...

RED LEADER, RED LEADER -- That title not only is fitting for the Star Wars call sign of the Commander of Red Squadron, but also for the Utah State offense, which leads the WAC, but slid from ranking tied for sixth in the FBS to tied for 21st... USU converted on 22-of-22 trips before not scoring twice in the Fresno State game on Oct. 15, and then once in the SJSU game on Nov. 12, and then twice at New Mexico State... The Aggies have now scored on 88 percent of their trips to the red zone (37-of-42).RED ZONE OFFENSERank Name Gm Drives Scores Points Rush TD Pass TD FG Pct1 Stanford 12 64 63 388 24 26 13 .982 Wisconsin 13 70 67 444 38 23 6 .963 Texas A&M 12 58 55 322 22 18 15 .954 La.-Lafayette 12 36 34 194 16 8 10 .945 LSU 13 61 57 346 30 14 13 .935 Pittsburgh 12 43 40 236 21 8 11 .937 Toledo 12 52 48 299 24 15 9 .927 Kent St. 12 25 23 125 9 6 8 .929 Western Mich. 12 55 50 310 15 25 10 .9110 Ball St. 12 49 44 252 16 14 14 .9010 Nebraska 12 49 44 261 25 7 12 .9012 Northern Ill. 13 64 57 335 25 16 16 .8912 Oklahoma 12 61 54 304 21 15 18 .8912 California 12 54 48 270 22 11 15 .8912 Texas Tech 12 54 48 303 17 23 8 .8912 Georgia Tech 12 53 47 301 39 1 7 .8912 Washington 12 45 40 264 11 25 4 .8912 Connecticut 12 36 32 172 13 6 13 .8912 Ohio St. 12 36 32 186 15 8 9 .8912 Rice 12 36 32 178 11 10 11 .8921 Oklahoma St. 12 77 68 403 26 24 18 .8821 Kansas St. 12 58 51 307 30 9 12 .8821 Missouri 12 51 45 267 23 10 12 .8821 UTAH STATE 12 42 37 242 23 10 4 .8821 Marshall 12 32 28 159 6 13 9 .88----71 Ohio 13 61 49 265 13 17 19 .80

NOT MANY OSKIES -- While Utah State games have been heavy on the drama and excitment with so many going down the wire, they have been light on inter-ceptions, as the Aggies lead the country in fewest combined interceptions both thrown and caught with 10, six thrown and four caught... The six INT's thrown is tied for ninth-fewest in FBS while the four picks is tied for third-fewest in FBS.

BIG BERTHA DRIVING -- Utah State's offense is equipped with a Big Bertha driver in its bag, as the Aggies have five scoring drives of 90+ yards this season, including two of 99-yards, ranking tied for second-most in the nation for 90+ yard drives as well as tied for the most 99-yard scoring drives:

TOTAL OFFENSE TOPS 5K, SETS NEW SCHOOL RECORDS -- Utah State's offensive explosion in the New Mexico State game with 515 yards not only put the Aggies over the 5,000 yard mark for the second time in the last three years with 5,504 yards, but it also established a new USU record for total offense yards, surpassing the previous mark of 5,272 yards set in 2009...

TD RUSHING -- Utah State scored five rushing TD's in each of its first three games, before being limited to only one in the BYU game, but then scoring four in the Wyoming game, then two each in the next three games (Fresno State, LA Tech and Hawai‘i) before scoring three in the SJSU game, then five in the Idaho game and then back to one in the Nevada game, before not scoring any rushing TD's in the regular-season finale, giving the Aggies 35 rushing TD's on the season in 12 games... That ranks tied for fifth in the FBS, and USU's 2.9 rushing TD's per game is also fifth in the nation: TEAM TD's G AVG PG1 Wisconsin 46 13 3.52 Georgia Tech 44 12 3.73 Air Force 39 12 3.3 Oregon 39 13 3.05 UTAH STATE 35 12 2.9 Temple 35 12 2.9 LSU 35 13 2.7 TCU 35 12 2.99 Oklahoma St. 34 12 2.810 Army 33 11 3.0 Alabama 33 12 2.8 Kansas St. 33 12 2.8 Houston 33 13 2.514 Northern Ill. 32 13 2.515 Navy 31 11 2.8 Michigan 31 12 2.6 Toledo 31 12 2.618 Nebraska 30 12 2.5-----T69 Ohio 17 13 1.3

TENACIOUS D -- The Aggies' defense has been much improved this season, as their 368.0 ypg total defense yardage is on pace to be the best since 1998's 319.9 ypg... USU's rushing defense average of 128.0 ypg is on pace to be the lowest since 1998:Rushing Avg. 50.8, 1961 82.8, 1966 83.9, 1965 84.7, 1960 93.2, 1963

MORE POSITIVE PUNT RETURNS -- With 124 punt return yards this season, USU has surpassed last year's season total of 72 total punt return yards... The Aggies also have six punt returns of 10 or more yards, doubling last year's total of three, equalling last season's total in the Weber State game alone, part of nearly matching 2010's season total with 69 punt returns in that game.

NEVER TOO OLD TO PUNT, PASS AND KICK -- While listed as a WR on the USU roster, senior Stanley Morrison may as well have a UT listed insted as a utility player as he has played several different positions for the Aggies this season, mostly lining up at wide receiver, but also seeing action at quarterback for a couple series in the San Jose State game, as well as punter and holder... Morrison is 3-of-4 passing on the season, but all have come when lining up somewhere other than QB... One of his passes was when he was lined up at punter, part of successfully executing two fake punts in the Hawai‘i game to earn WAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors, running for a first down on the other fake... Morrison also had an 8-yard pass for a first down on a fake field goal in the Auburn game and he also threw a TD pass to junior RB Robert Turbin in the Nevada game on a throw-back pass play, and trying a pass on a reverse in the New Mexico State game, but was incomplete... In the Idaho game, Morrison registered a 36-yard punt, pinning Idaho inside the 20... Morrison just needs to kick a field goal or extra point for the full gamete.

KOOL HAND KENNEDY -- Junior QB Adam Kennedy came on in relief of injured freshman QB Chuckie Keeton late in the first half of the Hawai‘i game with his only action before intermission taking a kneel down... However, Kennedy has spearheaded USU to victory in each of the last five games... In his four-and-a half games of ac-tion, Kennedy is 61-of-87 (.701) for 863 yards with 10 TD's and four INT's... Kennedy is averaging 191.8 ypg in those four-and-a-half games, while also averageing 49.8 ypg rushing... He also has a passing efficiency of 182.17 in those four-and-a-half games, with a season efficiency of 180.82, a mark that would lead the WAC and rank third in FBS, but he has only played in seven of USU's 12 games (58.3) and does not meet the minimum requirement of 75 percent participation.

CATS GALORE -- USU may be feeling like its on Broadway watching the popular musical with as many Cats as the Aggies played this season, as Utah State is playing its fourth feline mascot this season... USU faced the Tigers of Auburn on Sept. 3, the Wildcats of Weber State on Sept. 10, the Cougars of BYU on Sept. 30 and now the Bobcats of Ohio on Saturday.

AGGIE-BOBCAT NOTE-ABLE -- The Aggies are the only team from the state of Utah that Ohio has faced... After not playing an "Aggies" mascot since 1994, Ohio is facing an Aggie team for the second time this season, opening and closing the season against Aggies, playing New Mexico State in the first game of the season and now the Aggies of Utah State on Saturday... Only one person associated with USU football was with the program the last time that USU and Ohio met, as Athletic Trainer Dale Mildenberger is in his 37th year at USU... Aggie senior LB Reuben Willis and Bobcat junior CB Mose Denton, are both from Lakewood, Calif., both went to high school at Mayfair HS and both went to El Camino JC... USU senior S Walter McClenton and Ohio junior DL Carl Jones are from Arlington, Texas, but went to different high schools, with McClenton going to Bowie HS while Jones went to Sam Houston HS... USU has only had two other shutouts since its 5-0 blanking of Ohio in 1994, logging a 42-0 win at UNLV in 1995 and a 49-0 victory vs. Arkansas State.

BUCKEYE STATE SUCCESS -- Utah State has historically had good success ath-letically in action involving the state of Ohio... USU golfer Jay Don Blake won the 1980 NCAA Championship, hosted by Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, edging out future PGA'er Hal Sutton of Centenary in a playoff... The Aggie men's basketball team's last NCAA Tournament victory was in 2001 over Ohio State... Ohio State was the Aggies' opponent in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, with USU winning 95-89 on Dec. 1, 1970.

RARE 5 SPOT -- Utah State's five points scored in its 5-0 win over Ohio in 1994 in the team's lone meeting is the one and only time in 100 years that USU had a five in its spot on the scoreboard... However rare in the last 100 years of Aggie football, it was apparently quite common in USU's early years of football, as USU scored five points a total of 10 times, starting with its third season of football in 1898, even playing to a 5-all tie with Montana State in 1905, and scoring hanging a five-post on the board in back-to-back games in 1910.

BUSCH-SOLICH CORNHUSKER CONNECTION -- USU special teams coor-dinator/safeties coach Bill Busch began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Nebraska from 1990 to 1993, where he coached with current Ohio head coach Frank Solich on the Cornhuskers' staff under head coach Tom Osborne, when Solich was running backs coach.

USU VS. SOLICH -- USU 0-6 against a team with Solich coaching, as Solich beat USU twice while head coach at Nebraska, three times while running backs coach for the Cornhuskers and once while freshman coach for Nebraska:Date Res Score Solich Position9-15-79 L 14-35 Freshman coach9-5-87 L 12-56 Running Backs Coach9-3-88 L 13-63 Running Backs Coach9-7-91 L 28-59 Running Backs Coach9-7-02 L 13-44 Head Coach9-6-03 L 7-31 Head Coach

CURRENT AGGIE COACHES VS. OHIO -- Two members of the Utah State coaching staff faced Ohio in previous positions, as Aggie wide receivers coach Jovon Bouknight was a graduate assistant coach at Wyoming in 2008 when the Cowboys edged the Bobcats, 21-20... USU offensive line coach T.J. Woods was an offensive lineman at Iowa State in 2001, helping the Cyclones beat the Bobcats, 31-28...

UTAH STATE-OHIO LAST TIME: 1994UTAH STATE 5, OHIO 0

September 17, 1994 • Athens, Ohio • Peden Stadium

ATHENS, Ohio - Utah State recorded its first shutout in 12 years in a 5-0 triumph over Ohio U. in rainy Athens. It also marked the Aggies' first non-conference road win in seven seasons. Both teams missed early scoring opportunities. Utah State's Travis Schow returned a fumble 27 yards to the Ohio U. 19 but two plays later, Profail Grier returned the favor. Donald Toomer's interception set up Micah Knorr's 45-yard field goal with 7:09 remaining in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, Ohio U. had a 47-yard touchdown pass (Sam Vink to Jason Gross) called back because of a holding penalty. Late in the third quarter on second-and-nine from Ohio U. 12, Vink was sacked in the end zone for a safety by Pratt Lyons.

AGGIES LAST TIME IN A BOWL, AT HUMANITARIAN BOWL: 1997 CINCINNATI 35, UTAH STATE 19

Dec. 29, 1997 • Boise, Idaho • Bronco Stadium

BOISE, Idaho - Utah State spotted Cincinnati a 28-point advantage before scoring 19 of the game's final 26 points as the Aggies fell 35-19 in the first Humanitarian Bowl at Boise, Idaho on Dec. 29, 1997. The Aggies suffered through their second-lowest offensive output of the season in both scoring (16 at Oregon State) and yardage (283 vs.New Mexico) in the game. USU did not practice outdoors until the two days prior to the game as the Aggies worked out in the USU field house for the month between the end of the regular season and the bowl game due to inclement weather. That rustiness was evident as USU went scoreless in the first half as Cincinnati put up a 21-0 halftime advantage. USU warmed up in the second half scoring three touchdowns in an eight minute span, but the Aggies were controlled by a bigger, stronger Cincinnati team. Steve Smith earned USU MVP honors as hed had four receptions for 136 yards and a 75-yard touchdown, while also returning two punts for 26 yards and two kickoffs for 58 yards. The game was the final one for head coach John L. Smith, who had announced that he had taken the head coaching job at Louisville immediately after the final regular season game at North Texas.

San Jose State 20Utah State 0

A powerful San Jose State college grid team shut out Utah State, 20-0 in the second Raisin Bowl at Fresno, Calif. San Jose devastated the Aggies 16 to seven in first downs, 177 to 74 in yards rushing and 110 to 49 in yards passing. Utah State’s all-conference center, Ralph Maughan, could not offset San Jose’s halfbacks Bert Robinson and Babe Nomura. San Jose did all of its scoring in the second and third quarters. Bill Schembel, a substitute halfback, passed to quarter-back Bill Jackson for the opening touchdown, then took an aerial from Jackson for score number two. Bill Rhyne, another substitute halfback, crossed the goal line from the one yard line scoring the third touchdown. Through the entire game, Utah State threatened to score twice, once in the first quarter when it reached the San Jose one-yard line, and again at the end of the fourth quarter when the Aggies were again within a yard of the goal. Both attempts were denied and Utah State was confined to its own territory throughout most of the game.

1947 GRAPE BOWLDec. 13, 1947

Lodi, Calif.Pacific 35Utah State 21

All-American quarterback Eddie LeBaron led his Pacific Tigers onto victory, defeating the Utah State Aggies, 35-21 in Lodi’s first inaugural Grape Bowl football game. Only six minutes into the game, Pacific fullback Harry Kane scored on a 72-yard run. Utah State answered with a 70-yard drive to land on Pacific’s 1-yard line. Right halfback John Worley fumbled, allowing halfback Bruce Orvis to recover the ball and run it back 99 yards for Pacific’s second score. Early in the second quarter, LeBaron scored on a quarter-back sneak from the one, and then threw for a 14-yard TD pass to left end John Rohde a few minutes later. Sub halfback Wayne Hardin completed all five conversion attempts. Utah State came back from halftime facing a 28-0 deficit. Quarterbacks John Ca-puto and John Sorensen helped the Aggies with two touchdowns, and in the final period, halfback Ernie Groll intercepted a long pass by LeBaron on the Pacific 42 and ran it back into the end zone. Fullback Buss Williams converted all three attempts. Utah State ran up 15 first downs against the College of Pacific’s 17. On the ground the Tigers gained 278 yards against the Aggies’ 85.

1960 SUN BOWLUtah State 13 New Mexico State 20

New Mexico State, in winning its 15th-straight game, overcame Utah State, 20-13, in a bruising Sun Bowl football battle. USU owned a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when halfback Tom Larscheid ran for 13 yards and a touchdown. The score was set up with a 53-yard punt return by Ernie Reese, which set a Sun Bowl record. New Mexico State answered right back in the second quarter. Quarterback Charley Johnson’s three-yard pitch to Pervis Atkins along with Atkins’ subsequent kick, tied the score in the second pe-riod. USU then regained the lead by driving 80 yards in 15 plays with Dolph Camilli scoring from the 11. New Mexico State took the lead for the first time in the third quarter when Bob Gaiters ran for a 32-yard touchdown. Johnson led the offense by completing 18-of-26 passes, including two for touchdowns. Utah State’s final effort for victory was denied in the fourth quarter when fullback Doug Mayberry was stopped short of a first down on a fourth down play. New Mexico State then ran out the clock. NMSU quarterback Charley Johnson threw for 190 yards and was tabbed the Sun Bowl’s MVP for the second straight year. Johnson is the only player to earn the Sun Bowl’s MVP honor twice. The NMSU defense held the nation’s top offense to just 268 total yards. Utah State’s defense was equally as impressive. USU, led by future Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, held the NMSU offense to only 224 yards, including just 44 rushing yards on 32 carries.

Turbin Tabbed WAC Offensive Player Of The Year As Aggie Football Places Six On All-WAC Teams

Aggies' Most All-WAC Honorees In Seven Years In The League, Most Overall Since 2003

Utah State football player Robert Turbin was named the Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and was one of six Aggies on the all-WAC first and second-teams, which were selected by the league's coaches and announced Monday by the conference office.

Junior running back Turbin was joined on the first-team by senior linebacker Bobby Wagner, senior offensive guard Philip Gapelu and sophomore center Tyler Larsen Senior defensive end Levi Koskan and senior tight end Tarren Lloyd were second-team selections.

"We are the second-place team in the league, no matter how you cut it. You can say what you want, but we are the second-place team in the league and they should have some kids on all-conference on that team and we do have some all-conference kids on the team. This is a very good conference with some very talented young men," USU head coach Gary Andersen said.

Both the three first-team all-WAC selections and the six overall honorees is the most all-WAC selections for USU in its seven years in the league and is Utah State's most overall all-conference players recognized since 2003 when the Aggies had nine in the Big West.

"It's just another blessing. Words can't really describe the feeling. It's a great honor to be recognized like that. I still kind of feel like I could have done more. There are times I could have done better. There are games I don't necessarily wish I had back, but could have done things better. To be noticed and have that honor is great. It just shows the respect coaches have for me is cool. There are a lot of offensive players, and a lot of good ones, so for them to put me at the top means a lot. The one main goal I set was to be the best. To be the best you have to win, and we've done that as a team. To be the best you have to be noticed as one of the best," Turbin said.

Turbin is USU's first WAC Offensive Player of the Year award recipient and just the Aggies' second WAC individual honor, joining Paul Igboeli's WAC Freshman of the Year honor in 2006. Overall, Turbin is just the second USU player to earn a conference Offensive Player of the Year honor, joining Kendal Smith who was the 1998 Big West Confer-ence Offensive Player of the Year.

"It is a great honor for Robert, well deserved in my opinion. He had a tremendous year," Andersen said. "It is great to see a kid go through the adversity he had to go through, to come back be a conference player of the year, that is a great accomplishment. I am very, very proud of him. I am happy for Robert Turbin."

A native of Fremont, Calif. (Irvington HS), Turbin is 10th in the nation in rushing with 118.0 yards per game and is fifth in scoring with 11.5 points per contest. Turbin has rushed for 1,416 yards and 19 touchdowns on 229 attempts for an average of 6.2 yards per carry. He has caught 16 passes for 164 yards and four more touchdowns. His 138 points scored this season are currently the seventh most in WAC history. The 1,416 yards ranks Turbin fifth on USU's single-season rushing yardage list, need-ing just 120 more for the No. 1 spot of 1,536 yards, currently held by Demario Brown in 1999. Turbin is already the USU record holder for single-season rushing TDs (19), single-season total TDs (23) and single-season scoring (138).

"The first thing Robert is going to do is tell everybody that it was the people around him that got it for him, which he should because he had a supporting cast around him that did a tremendous job of blocking, giving and creat-ing him holes. He is a tremendous talent, it is special to see," Andersen said. "There is a lot of special stories on this team, there are many, many of them and he is one of them. I am glad to see him get rewarded."

Robert Turbin



Wagner, a native of Ontario, Calif. (Colony HS), led the WAC and ranks eighth in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in tackles with 11.7 per game, totalling 140 (62 solo, 78 assists) this season, moving up to No. 9 on the WAC's single-season tackles list and tying for No. 6 on USU's single-season stops list. Leading the USU defensive unit with 10.5 tackles for loss, Wagner added four sacks and also leads the Aggies with two interceptions. He also has one fumble recovery on the season.

Gapelu, a Lynwood, Calif. (Lynwood HS) native and Larsen, a native of Salt Lake City, Utah (Jordan HS), anchored an Aggie offensive line that cleared the way for the USU running attack to total a school-record 3,330 rushing yards on the season, bettering the previous record of 3,120 yards set in 1960. USU's 35 rushing TD's are cur-rently second in school history behind the 39 set in 1961. Gapelu and Larsen are also anchors of the Aggie offense that ranks second in the WAC and 20th in FBS in total offense at 458.7 ypg, while also ranking second in the conference and tied for 36th in the country in sacks allowed (1.4 pg). The offensive line duo are the first pair of Aggie offensive linemen to earn first-team all-conference honors since 1997 when Mauricio

Jourdan and Mark Rommel earned first-team all-Big West accolades together.

Koskan, a native of Smithfield, Utah (Sky View HS), is tied for sixth in the league and tied for 70th in the nation in sacks with 0.5 pg, while also ranking ninth in the WAC in tackles for loss (0.9 pg). Leading the team with 5.5 sacks, Koskan has matched his jersey number of 47 with total yards lost on sacks, while adding 10 tackles for loss for a team-high 71 yards lost. Koskan added one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, which came in same game on the same play in the San Jose State game, as well as six QB hurries.

A native of Bountiful, Utah (Viewmont HS), Lloyd has 11 catches for 96 yards (8.7 ypc) with one TD, and was also an integral blocker for the school-record Aggie rushing

attack, and nationally-ranked total offense. He had a season-best three catches for 25 yards in the season opener against Auburn. Lloyd caught his lone TD of the season in the win against Wyo-ming, one of nine Aggies to catch a TD pass so far this season. He also had a blocked field attempt against San Jose State as time expired to preserve the Aggies' win on Nov. 12.

UTAH STATE HEAD COACHGARY ANDERSEN

• Gary Andersen was named Utah State head foot-ball coach on Dec. 4, 2008 by USU Athletics Director Scott Barnes.

• Andersen became the 26th head coach in 115 years of Aggie football.

• Andersen totes a perfect 7-0 bowl record, as he was a part of eight bowl teams at Utah, who had an 8-0 bowl record since 1999 during Andersen’s tenure there, helping the Utes to the nation’s longest bowl winning streak at the time.

• Only John Ralston and Charlie Weatherbie took Utah State teams to a bowl game in fewer years than Andersen did, as Ralston took the Aggies to the 1960 Sun Bowl and Weatherbie took the 1993 Aggies to the Las Vegas Bowl, both doing so in their second year... Andersen joins John L. Smith who took the 1997 Aggies to this same bowl, then known as the Humanitarian Bowl, as Aggie coaches who led USU to a bowl game in their third sea-son... Ralston also took the 1961 Aggie squad to the Sun Bowl, while the Aggies' stadium namesake, E. Lowell Romney guided USU to the 1946 Raisin Bowl in his 27th season and the 1947 Grape Bowl in his 28th year.

• The Aggies' three-win turnaround from four wins in 2010 to seven wins in 2011 is among the top 15 in the Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2011 season.

• Overall, Utah State's three-win turnaround is the biggest two-year increase since 1977-78, going from 4-7 in '77 to 7-4 in '78... It is just the 15th win turnaround of at least three wins in the program's history.

• With five WAC wins in 2011, Andersen led USU to its best WAC record at 5-2 in the Ag-gies' seven years in the league... USU's second-place finish is also the top WAC finish and is the Aggies' highest conference placing since 2000 when they were second in the Big West Conference.

• USU's three-win WAC turnaround under Andersen from two league wins in 2010 to five conference victories in 2011 is tied for the second-biggest conference win turnaround in the USU's history, behind the record of four win turnaround from 1916 (0-3) to 1917 (4-0), and matching 1945 (1-3) to 1946 (4-1-1).

• Utah State finished Andersen's first year at the helm of the USU program with a 4-8 mark, USU's most wins since 2002... The Aggies finished 3-5 in WAC action, matching the 2008 season for USU's top conference record in its five seasons in the league.

• Andersen came to Utah State after five seasons as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Utah, where he has helped guide the Utes to a 13-0 record in 2008. Utah finished the season ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll after winning the BCS Sugar Bowl with a dominating 31-17 victory over Alabama.

• Andersen reached a rare plateau in USU’s season-opener on Sept. 3, 2009, when he led the Aggies into action against his former team Utah... Since 1982, only two other head coaches in college football have be-gan the season against their former team from the season before.

• Andersen is the second coach in USU history to open their coaching career against Utah, as Dave Arslanian began his Aggie tenure against the Utes on Sept. 5, 1998.

• Andersen also faced another former team when he and the Aggies made their home debut against Southern Utah on Sept. 26, 2009, with USU winning 53-34... Andersen was head coach at Southern Utah in 2003.



• Andersen became the third-straight Aggie football coach to win his home-opener, in USU’s 2009 home-opening 53-34 victory over Southern Utah.

• With four wins in his first season, Andersen is tied for the fourth-most victories in his opening season in school history... Andersen joins John L. Smith in 1995 and Ev Faunce in 1955 as the only three USU head coaches to win four games in their first season at the helm of the Aggie program.

• Andersen is the second Aggie head coach that is a Utah alum, joining USU legendary head coach E. Lowell Romney (1919-48), who graduated from Utah in 1917 and is USU’s football stadium namesake.

• While at Utah, Andersen was a part of a Utes coaching staff that posted a 13-5 (.722) record against current WAC schools, going 0-3 vs. Boise State, 2-1 vs. Fresno State, 1-0 vs. Hawai’i, 1-0 vs. San Jose State and 9-1 vs. Utah State.

• At Utah, Andersen was a part of two Ute teams that went 2-0 in BCS action, finishing No. 2 in the 2008 AP Poll and No. 4 in 2004.

• Andersen was a part of seven bowl teams as Utah had an 8-0 bowl record since 1999 during Andersen’s tenure there, helping the Utes to the nation’s longest bowl winning streak.

• Andersen has coached a total of 25 players on NFL rosters, including USU’s Curtis Marsh, who was a third-round draft selection in 2011, along with James Brindley, as well as three draft selections in 2008 in second-round picks Paul Kruger and Sean Smith, along with sixth-round selection Bryce McCain, 21 first-team all-conference players, including three-time first-team all-WAC linebacker Bobby Wagner , two-time first-team selection Robert Turbin, and all-WAC cornerback Marsh, along with two Mountain West Conference Defensive Players of the Year in John Frank (1999) and Eric Weddle (2005 and 2006) along with WAC Offensive Player of the Year in Robert Turbin (2011), as well as a consensus first-team All-American in Weddle in 2006, as well as second-team All-American Morgan Scalley in 2004.

• Andersen is married to the former Stacey Lambert, and they have three children: Keegan and twins Chasen and Hagen. Keegan is a member of his father’s USU team as a redshirt-freshman tight end. Chasen and Hagen attend Logan HS, where they helped the Grizzlies to the 4A State Football Championship this fall. Andersen’s brother, Mark, is USU’s director of football operations.

GAME #1 Sept. 3

at Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium

#23 AUBURN 42, UTAH STATE 38 AUBURN, Ala. - Utah State football had the defending national champions, No. 23/19 Auburn, on the ropes on Sept. 3, taking a 38-28 lead with 3:38 left, but the Aggies' upset bid came up short with a 42-38 loss on a hot and humid Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare Stadium. USU took a 38-28 lead with 3:38 to play on a 1-yard TD plunge by senior running back Robert Turbin, his second of the day in his return to the USU lineup after missing the 2010 season with an injury. Auburn marched down the field, getting a long pass play helped by a personal foul, and later scored, pulling within 38-35 with 2:07 to go. On the ensuing kick, the Tigers kicked an on-side kick, and recovered the high bouncing kick. Eight plays later, Auburn's Michael Dyer crept through the pile and over the goal line for the score, taking the 42-38 lead with 30 seconds left. But the Aggies couldn't get out of their own half of the field in the waning seconds to end the game. Freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton was 21-of-30 passing for 213 yards and added two rushing TD's as part of 33 rushing yards in his Aggie debut. Turbin rushed for 70 yards on 22 carries with two TD's while junior running back Kerwynn Williams had 69 yards on the ground, including a 43-yard TD run to open USU's scoring. Junior wide receiver Matt Austin had six catches for 67 yards, both career-highs, as he had only one catch for 59 yards in the first half of last year's season-opener at Oklahoma before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Senior wide receiver Stanley Morrison also returned to action after missing the 2010 season with an injury, and had two catches, extending his career streak with at least one catch to 25-straight games, and also threw an 8-yard pass on a fake field goal to set up USU's final TD. Senior linebacker Bobby Wagner led the USU defensive unit with 10 tackles, including two for loss with one being a sack. Fellow senior linebacker Kyle Gallagher notched seven stops and junior safety McKade Brady logged six tackles. USU had 227 yards rushing and 221 passing yards for 448 yards of total offense. The Aggie defense held Auburn to just 78 rushing yards, while the Tigers threw for 286 yards, finishing with 364 total of-fensive yards. The Aggies got on the board first, as Williams darted through a huge hole created by the USU offensive line, and scored from 43-yards out. Auburn tied it on a 56-yard pass play by Emory Blake from Barrett Trotter, who was also making his first career start. Keeton scored his first career TD on a three-yard scamper on a fourth-and-goal play, one of three fourth downs converted by the Aggies, and Turbin later scored his first TD of the game. Sophomore placekicker Josh Thompson's PAT made it 21-7 in the Aggies' favor with 7:58 to go. Keeton's run capped a 15-play, 80-yard drive that ate up 7:27 on the clock, while Turbin's run ended a 16-play, 75-yard drive that took 6:52. Tre Mason returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a TD with 7:46 on the first half clock, and the score remained 21-14 with USU ahead at the half. Auburn tied it at 21-all on a Dyer 11-yard run, but USU later took a 24-21 lead on Thompson's first field goal of his Aggie career, splitting the uprights from 34-yards out with 4:52 remaining in the third quarter. Trotter later hit Travante Stallworth with a 39-yard pass play for a TD with 1:57 to play in the third stanza, giving the Tigers a 28-24 lead that they held on to end the quarter. Keeton darted in from 7-yards out for his second score of the day that was the 14th play of an 80-yard drive, taking 5:37 off the clock for a 31-28 Aggie advantage. After the USU defense forced its fourth three-and-out of the game, the Aggie offense got the ball back. Keeton led the USU charge deep into Auburn territory, before facing a fourth-and-three from the AU 5, USU took a delay of game penalty to get a better angle for the field goal, going back to the AU 10. The Aggies lined up for the field goal, but faked it, with Morrison rolling out and hitting sophomore tight end D.J. Tialavea with a diving catch just shy of the goal line. After an official review confirmed the catch, two plays later Turbin plowed over from a yard out, giving USU a 38-28 lead with 3:38 to go, setting up the game's final drama.

GAME #2 Sept. 10

at Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium

UTAH STATE 54, WEBER STATE 17 LOGAN, Utah - Robert Turbin rushed for a season-high 180 yards on 18 carries and Utah State rolled up 635 yards of total offense as the Aggies scored the final 44 points in a 54-17 blowout win against Football Championship Subdivision Weber State on Sept. 10 in USU's home opener. In all, Utah State scored on six-straight possessions in the second and third quarters, including four-straight TD's in posting its largest margin of victory under third-year head coach Gary Andersen. The 54 points scored by Utah State are its most since defeating Weber State, 56-43, on Nov. 17, 2001, the last meeting between the two teams. USU's 635 total yards rank as the sixth-most in school history and the most since racking up a school-record 684 yards against the Wildcats in 2001. The Aggies also grounded out 440 rushing yards in the game to rank as the fourth-most in school history and the most since running for 467 yards against Denver during the 1960 campaign. Utah State improves to 1-1 on the season with the win and is now 12-1 all-time against Weber State, who falls to 0-2 with the loss. Turbin's 180 yards were 10 yards shy of his career-high 190 yards, but pushed the junior past the 2,000-yard mark for his career, becoming just the eighth USU running back in school history to reach the 2,000-yard plateau. Utah State trailed 17-10 with 4:42 to play in the first-half following a 45-yard field goal from Weber State's Shaun McClain, but tied the game at 17-17 on Turbin's first of two touchdowns runs in the game from 14 yards out with 00:53 to play in the half. The second half began just the way the first half ended as Utah State went 90 yards on nine plays and capped its drive with a 5-yard TD run by freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton. Turbin scored his second touchdown of the night on USU's next possession from 31-yards and Keeton connected with senior wide receiver Matt Austin for a 49-yard score on its next series. Utah State then scored on a 39-yard field from sophomore placekicker Josh Thompson and concluded the romp with a pair of four-quarter touchdowns as junior wide receiver Chuck Jacobs scored on a 29-yard strike from Keeton capping a three-play, 99-yard drive and redshirt freshman running back James Hill scored his first career touchdown on a 14-yard scamper. Keeton finished the game completing 10-of-15 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns, for his first TD passes of his Aggie career. The freshman added 53 rushing yards on nine carries. Turbin now has four rushing TDs this year and 25 in his career to rank sixth all-time in school history. Overall, Turbin has 32 career touchdowns to rank tied for fourth all-time in USU history along with Emmett White (1998-2001). He now has 194 career points, tying White for No. 7 on the Aggies' career scoring list. Senior linebackers Bobby Wagner and Kyle Gallagher each had 10 tackles to lead Utah State's defense, while junior defensive tackle Al Lapuaho finished with one sack and six total stops. Overall, Wagner now has 319 career tackles to rank 10th all-time in the history of the Western Athletic Conference and is just eight tackles shy of entering USU's top 10 for career stops. Weber State forced Utah State into a pair of first-half turnovers and scored on three of four possessions in the first and second quarter as the Wildcats amassed 139 yards of offense and possessed the ball for 17:51 as it led for much of the half. The Aggies were also called for seven first-half penalties for 70 yards before being whistled for just one infraction in the second-half. WSU managed just 74 yards and four first downs in the second 30 minutes, while USU produced 382 yards and out-scored the visitors 37-0.

GAME #3 Sept. 24


COLORADO STATE 35, UTAH STATE 34 LOGAN, Utah - Junior running back Robert Turbin scored a career-high four rushing touchdowns, including a 25-yard burst in the second overtime to bring Utah State within one, but he was stopped on his two-point conversion and USU dropped a heartbreaker to Colorado State, 35-34, on Sept. 24 in front of 22,599 Homecoming fans. Utah State, who had four turnovers on the night including two muffed punts, falls to 1-2 on the season with the loss and Colorado State improves to 3-1 with the win. USU appeared to be on its way to a fourth-quarter win as it lead 21-13 with just over two minutes remaining and Colorado State punting, but the Aggies muffed the punt and the Rams recovered the ball at Utah State's 15-yardline. Four plays later, CSU's Chris Nwoke scored on a 1-yard rush and quarterback Pete Thomas hit Crockett Gillmore for the two-point conversion with 36 seconds to play, sending the game into overtime. Both teams registered touchdowns in the first overtime as Utah State scored first on a 9-yard run from Turbin, but Colorado State answered on a touchdown pass from Thomas to Gillmore. In the second overtime, Colorado State had the ball first and scored on a 2-yard run from Nwoke. USU quickly answered as Turbin scored his fourth touchdown of the night on the first play of the drive from 25 yards out. Utah State then decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win as freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton's pass to senior wide receiver Matt Austin was incomplete, but CSU was called for pass interference. With the ball moved from the three to the one-and-half following the penalty, Turbin rushed left but was stopped short of the goal. Turbin finished the night with 115 yards on 24 carries for his 10th-career 100-yard rushing game and Utah State ended the game with 281 rushing yards on 52 carries. Senior running back Michael Smith added 77 rushing yards on nine carries, including a 51-yard scamper in the second quarter highlighting a 3-play, 68-yard drive that was capped off with a 14-yard run from junior running back Kerwynn Williams for the Aggies first score of the night. Keeton was 9-of-15 passing for 86 yards and added 44 yards on the ground on 13 carries as Utah State finished the game with 367 total yards. Senior linebacker Bobby Wagner finished the game with 17 tackles, tying his career-high for the third time, while fellow senior linebacker Kyle Gallagher added 10 stops. Senior defensive end Levi Koskan added two sacks, and senior safety Alfred Bowden registered the team's first turnover of the year with a fumble recovery. Colorado State, who won the time of possession battle 34:19 to 25:41, had 232 yards of total offense as it rushed for 168 yards and passed for 108. CSU also won the turnover battle as it forced USU into four miscues and committed just one of its own, a fumble in the fourth quarter that resulted into an eight-play, 27-yard drive that Turbin capped with a 1-yard run to give the home team a 21-13 advantage.

GAME #4 Sept. 30

at LaVell Edwards Stadium

BRIGHAM YOUNG 27, UTAH STATE 24 PROVO, Utah - Robert Turbin rushed for 123 yards including an 80-yard touchdown burst on the first offensive play of the game, but BYU scored the final 14 points, including the win-ning TD with 11 seconds remaining as the Cougars rallied for a 27-24 win against Utah State at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Sept. 30. Utah State, who has now lost three games in the waning seconds, falls to 1-3 on the season with the loss, while BYU improves to 3-2 with the win. Leading 14-13 at halftime, Utah State scored on its first possession of the second-half as freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton hit Turbin on a screen pass that resulted in a 24-yard touchdown capping off a 12-play, 89-yard drive that took 4:49 off the clock. USU later added a 21-yard field goal from sophomore placekicker Josh Thompson early on in the fourth quarter to give the visitors their largest lead of the game at 24-13 with 12:43 remaining. BYU answered with an 8-play, 60-yard drive that concluded with a 24-yard touchdown strike from Riley Nelson to Cody Hoffman to cut the deficit to 24-20 with 10:05 to play in the game. After Utah State failed on a fake field goal attempt on its next possession, BYU drove inside the USU 30-yard line before senior safety Chris Harris forced and recovered a JJ DiLuigi fumble. Utah State could not pick up a first down on its next series but received a 67-yard punt from junior Tyler Bennett that was downed at the 4-yard line. With 2:36 to play, BYU drove 96 yards in nine plays that culminated with a 13-yard TD pass from Nelson to Marcus Mathews with 11 seconds remaining to cement the comeback. On its final drive, Nelson completed a 40-yard pass that moved the ball from the BYU 34 to the USU 26. Utah State finished the game with 294 yards rushing as part of its 406 yards of total offense. BYU amassed 451 yards (200-rush-ing, 251-passing), including 198 yards in the final quarter. BYU also won the time of possession battle, 34:13 to 25:47, and had 11 more first downs (29-18). Keeton finished the game 13-of-25 passing for 122 yards including two touchdowns, while senior tight end Tarren Lloyd caught a team-best three passes for 24 yards. Turbin also had two catches for 22-yards on the night, including his 24-yard TD. Senior running back Michael Smith had another productive night for the Aggies as he carried the ball nine times for 85 yards, including a 53-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. Senior linebacker Bobby Wagner had a game-high 11 tackles and senior safety Walter McClenton added nine stops. After Utah State's initial touchdown in the first quarter, BYU scored 10-straight points and held the lead until late in the second half when Keeton hit senior wide receiver Eric Moats for a 13-yard strike to cap off a 13-play, 78-yard drive that took 4:01 off the clock. BYU ended the scoring in the first half with a 29-yard field goal to make the score 14-13 at intermission.

GAME #5 Oct. 8


UTAH STATE 63, WYOMING 19 LOGAN, Utah - Freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton threw for 213 yards and a school-record tying five touchdowns and junior running back Robert Turbin rushed for 111 yards and added two more scores as Utah State scored the final 42 points in a dominating 63-19 home win against Wyoming on Oct. 8, inside Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. In all, USU scored TD's on its first eight possessions of the game. For Utah State, the 63 points scored are its most since winning at Idaho, 63-17, on Oct. 25, 1997, while its 44-point margin of victory is its largest since defeating New Mexico State at home, 47-2, on Nov. 29, 2008. With the five TD's, Keeton becomes the fourth different Aggie QB to hit the school record, and the sixth time, and the first since Anthony Calvillo threw for five scores against BYU in 1993. Calvillo and Tony Adams had accomplished the feat twice each while Brent Snyder reached it once. Keeton finished the game completing 15-of-20 passes and added 44 rushing yards on four carries, while Turbin posted his fourth-straight 100-yard rushing game to move into sixth-place all-time at Utah State as the junior now has 2,397 career yards. Senior running back Michael Smith added a career-best three touchdowns during the game as he finished with 51 rushing yards on eight carries and one reception for 53 yards. Smith's three TD's are the most since Turbin had five total scores in the Idaho game in 2009. Wagner led Utah State's defense with 12 tackles as he moved into sixth-place all-time at USU and sixth-place all-time in the Western Athletic Conference with 360 stops. Wagner, who added his third career interception late in the second quarter, has now recorded double-digit tackles 19 times in his career including in each of his last five outings. Wagner's oskie was the first interception of the season for the Aggie defense. Wyoming took the opening kickoff and drove 77-yards on seven plays to take a 6-0 lead after its two-point conversion attempt failed. On the ensuing kickoff, USU's Kerwynn Williams was unable to gain possession of the ball and UW recovered it in the end zone for a 12-0 lead just 2:54 into the game after missing the extra point. Williams followed up his miscue with a 50-yard return on Wyoming's next kickoff, leading to a 1-yard touchdown run by Turbin for Utah State's first score of the night. USU took its first lead of the game on its next possession as it went 80-yards in just six plays, culminating with a 53-yard screen pass from Keeton to Smith giving the home team a 14-12 lead. Both teams traded touchdowns early on in the second quarter as Utah State went 99-yards in just seven plays and Wyoming answered with a five-play, 60-yard drive to make the score 21-19 Utah State with 12:54 remaining in the first half. It was the Aggies' second 99-yard drive this season and USU now has four drives this season of at least 90 yards. From there on it was all Aggies, as Utah State scored the final 21 points of the first half on touchdown passes of 18 yards to D.J. Tialavea, eight yards to Stanley Morrison and six yards to Tarren Lloyd to make the score 42-19 at intermission. Tialavea's TD catch was not only the first of his career, but the first by a tight end this season, and Lloyd's was the second. Utah State opened the second half just as it ended the first as Smith scored on a 14-yard rush to cap a three-play, 33-yard drive. Smith scored his second touchdown of the quarter and third of the game on USU's next pos-session from 1-yard out to cap an 11-play, 82-yard drive. Following a fumble recovery by Tevita Vaifoou in the fourth quarter, Utah State scored its final touchdown of the night on a 4-yard run by Robert Marshall with 2:53 remaining in the game. Utah State finished the game with 548 yards of total offense (318-rushing, 230-passing) and Wyoming produced 394 yards (129-rushing, 265-passing). The Aggies' 548 yards was tied for No. 7 on the most total offense yards in school history, marking the third time to hit that total offense output, joining 548 vs. UNLV in 1995 and Montana in 1965, and the most since 567 Montana in 1968. USU, who averaged 6.0 yards per play on the night, finished with 29 first downs and converted its first eight third downs. UW won the time-of-possession battle, 31:06 to 28:54.

FRESNO STATE 31, UTAH STATE 21 FRESNO, Calif. - Utah State football opened the game with a 14-0 first quarter lead, but could not hold on, falling to Fresno State, 31-21, on Oct. 15 at Bulldog Stadium in USU's Western Athletic Conference opener. USU falls to 2-4 overall and 0-1 in WAC action. Fresno State moves to 3-4 overall and 2-0 in league play. The Aggies amassed 454 yards of total offense, including 260 on the ground, led by junior RB Robert Turbin's 155 yards rushing with one TD, his fifth-straight 100-yard rushing outing. Senior RB Michael Smith added 71 yards and a TD, while added 52 yards receiving with another score. Freshman QB Chuckie Keeton was 15-of-31 passing for 194 yards with one TD. Senior LB Bobby Wagner totalled eight tackles, his first game this season without double-digit tackles. Fellow senior LB Kyle Gallagher and sophomore CB Nevin Lawson had six stops apiece. Fresno State's Robbie Rouse ran for 140 yards on 24 carries while Derek Carr was 23-of-39 passing for 248 yards with two TD's. Josh Harper and Jalen Saunders had 61 yards receiving each, with Saunders and Isaiah Burse logging TD catches. Terrance Dennis had a game-high nine tackles to lead the Bulldog defense. USU opened the scoring with a 47-yard pass play from Keeton to Smith, getting some nice blocks by the offensive line and wide receivers for a hole to burst through and dash to the endzone. Sophomore PK Josh Thompson's PAT made it 7-0 USU at the 12:20 mark of the first quarter. After junior S McKade Brady recovered a fumble to thwart a Fresno State drive at the Bulldogs' 6-yardline, the Aggies marched down the field and scored on Turbin's 59-yard dash down the sideline. Thompson's upright split put USU ahead 14-0 at the 6:10 mark of the first frame. Fresno State countered to get on the board with a 23-yard pass play from Derek Carr to Isaiah Burse to pull the Bulldogs within 14-7 with 4:07 on the first quarter clock. After holding USU to a punt, Fresno State's drive closed out the first quarter and overlapped into the second quarter, with Carr capping the drive with a 1-yard plunge. Kevin Goessling's second PAT of the night knotted the score at 14-all with 12:07 to play in the second quarter. Sophomore RB/KR Kerwynn Williams had a 52-yard return on the ensuing kick to give USU good field possession, then Smith again broke through a nicely created hole by his blockers and darted 46-yards for a TD. Thompson hit the PAT for a 21-14 Aggie lead with 11:24 left in the first half. That would remain the score into halftime. After the teams exchanged punts to open the second half, Fresno State closed the gap to 21-17 with 7:47 remaining in the third quarter with a 39-yard field goal. USU drove down and were threatening to score, but the drive stalled to end the third quarter and the fourth frame opened with a blocked field goal attempt by Thompson. The Bulldogs countered with an 80-yard dive, capped by a wild 23-yard pass play from Carr to Saunders for a 24-21 Fresno State lead. USU fumbled on its next possession, giving Fresno State a short field with only 23 yards to go, needing seven plays to reach payturf as Rouse darted in from 9-yards out for a 31-21 Bulldogs' lead with 8:05 left, for the final scoring. USU tried a 53-yard field goal in the waning minutes, but freshman PK Jacob Heauter's kick hit the upright, and Fresno State ran out the clock.

GAME #7 Oct. 22


LOUISIANA TECH 24, UTAH STATE 17 LOGAN, Utah - Freshman quarterback Chuckie Keeton threw for 128 yards and added 27 yards on the ground and senior linebacker Bobby Wagner posted a career-high 20 tackles, but Utah State was out-scored 10-0 in the fourth quarter leading to a 24-17 home loss to Louisiana Tech Saturday on Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. USU falls to 2-5 overall and 0-2 in Western Athletic Conference play with the loss, while LA Tech improves to 3-4 on the season and 2-1 in league play with the win. All five off USU's losses have been by 10 points or less, including four by one score. Saturday was the fifth meeting between USU and LA Tech that was decided by one score in the nine total match-ups, and third in the last four (L 45-38 in 2008, W 23-21 in 2009, L 24-17 Saturday). Last season's 24-6 LA Tech win was not only the lone non-one score game in that stretch, but also the largest in the series. The Bulldogs now hold a 6-3 lead in the all-time series with the Aggies, winning the last two. Utah State, who entered the game as the sixth-best rushing offense in the nation averaging 297.2 yards per game, was held to a season-low 166 rushing yards. USU also ranked 19th in the country in total offense entering Saturday's game averaging 476.0 yards per game, but was held to a season-low 294 yards as it finished with 128 passing yards. Utah State's 17 points were also a season-low after entering the week ranking 18th in the nation with an average of 39.0 points per game. Louisiana Tech had just 232 yards of total offense in the game (86-rushing, 146-passing) and lost the time of possession battle, 31:11 to 28:49, but converted a USU interception and illegal kicking penalty deep in its own end of the field for 10 points. Junior running back Robert Turbin entered Saturday's game with five-straight 100-yard outings, but finished with just 81 yards on 16 carries, marking the first time since the season-opener at Auburn that he didn't rush for a 100 yards. Turbin did score on a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, giving him 12 TD's this season and 33 in his career. He also moved into second-place all-time at USU with 254 career points, and is the highest scoring non-kicker, as placekicker Brad Bohn (1997-2000) holds the No. 1 spot with 284 career points. Senior linebacker Bobby Wagner posted a career-high 20 tackles, which included two sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss. Wagner also had two quarterback hurries in the game. It was Wagner's sixth double-digit tackle outing in the Aggies' seven games and he now has 20 career games with double-figure stops. Wagner's 20 stops gives him 388 for his career, moving up to No. 4 on USU's Career Tackles list and No. 5 on the WAC's Career Tackles list. LA Tech was led by Lennon Creer's 62 yards rushing on 17 carries with one TD, while QB Nick Isham was 10-of-22 for 63 yards before being relieved by Colby Cameron, who finished 4-of-6 passing for 38 yards. Adrien Cole led the Bulldogs' defense with 14 tackles. Louisiana Tech got on the scoreboard first with its initial drive of the game, going 87-yards in 10 plays that was capped with a 3-yard touchdown run by Creer. Utah State scored the next 10 points on Turbin's 1-yard TD run late in the first quarter and a career-long 43-yard field goal from sophomore kicker Josh Thompson in the second to make the score 10-7 at halftime. Both teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter as LTU's Terry Carter intercepted Keeton and returned it 22-yards to make it 14-10 visitors. It was Keeton's first INT thrown this season. On the ensuing possession, USU drove 87-yards in nine plays, culminating with a career-long 29-yard TD run by Keeton. Trailing 17-14, Louisiana Tech marched 58-yards in eight plays on its first possession of the fourth quarter that resulted in an 8-yard touchdown run by Hunter Lee to give the Bulldogs a 21-17 advantage. LTU added three more points late in the quarter on a 24-yard field goal by Matt Nelson after Aggie punter Tyler Bennett fumbled the snap on a fourth-and-one and was penalized for an illegal kick, giving the Bulldogs the ball at the USU 11 yard-line with just under five minutes to play in the game. Utah State had one last chance to drive the field and score the tying touchdown after junior kick returner Kerwynn Williams returned LTU's kickoff back to the USU 41 with 2:39 to play, but the Aggies were stopped just four plays later on a fourth-and-six, turning it over on downs.

GAME #8 Nov. 5

at Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium

UTAH STATE 35, HAWAI‘I 31HONOLULU - Junior quarterback Adam Kennedy, the Utah State football team, the Aggies' fans and the USU record books will remember, remember the fifth of November for a long time thanks in part to rallying from a 28-7 halftime deficit for a wild 35-31 win over the Warriors of Hawaiì Saturday at a rainy Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium. USU's comeback from a 28-7 deficit was its largest since 2001, rallying from a 27-0 deficit vs. Idaho State and was the Aggies' largest comeback against an FBS team since at least 1990 according to available records. Kennedy replaced freshman starting quarterback Chuckie Keeton, who suffered a neck injury and was carted off the field and taken to the hospital at the end of the first half. The junior was 8-of-12 passing for 163 yards with his first two TD passes of his Aggie career, including a 71-yard strike to senior wide receiver Stanley Morrison to pull USU within 31-28 with 12:39 left in the fourth quarter. The Kennedy-led Aggie offense also guided the winning drive, making several key scrambles to get positive yardage, including a John Elway-like helicopter dive to the endzone, but was stopped at the goal line. After a USU time out with 17 seconds left, junior running back Robert Turbin bulled through a hole created by the offensive line into the endzone for the game-winning score. Sophomore placekicker Josh Thompson split the uprights for fifth time on the night, with five PAT's, for the final points. After USU's squib-kicked the kickoff, Hawai'i took over and in a last-ditch effort, UH quarterback Bryant Moniz ran 21 yards, then lateralled to Joey Iosefa, who ran 8-yards in reverse trying to get behind blocking, and then pitched to a teammate, but the ball squirted lose and USU sophomore cornerback Nevin Lawson pounced on it to clinch the win for the Aggies. It was Utah State's first win at Hawai'i since 1966, as USU didn't play UH from 1966 until the two were fellow Western Athletic Conference foes in 2005, and USU had lost its last three at UH. Saturday was also USU's first WAC win this season, improving to 1-3 in league action and moving to 3-5 on the season overall. Saturday was also Utah State's first road win of the season, breaking a four-game road losing streak, last winning at San Jose State last season, which the Aggies also won in dramatic fashion, also rallying from down double digits and scoring late to win, after being down 10-0 and winning 38-34 by scoring the game-winning TD with 34 seconds left. Saturday was not only USU's first win at Hawaiì since 1966, it was UH's first home loss in its last nine regular season home games and was its first WAC loss since 2009, losing to Boise State, snapping a seven-game home WAC unbeaten streak. Turbin scored two rushing TD's as part of his 96 yards on the ground, as his 1-yard game-winning TD was joined by a 48-yard dash to open USU's second-half scoring, darting through a gaping hole created by the O-line and outrunning the UH defense to payturf. Morrison finished with 105 yards, one of three Aggie receivers to snare a TD catch. Senior Matt Austin had a 9-yard catch from Keeton on USU's second possession of the game that gave the Aggies a 7-0 lead. Austin finished with three receptions for 51 yards. Junior wideout Chuck Jacobs had three catches for 50 yards, both career highs for the first-year Aggie junior college transfer. Jacobs hauled in a 37-yard strike from Keeton. The Aggie defense was steadfast and resolute throughout the night, holding off three Hawaiì fourth-down attempts, and keeping the UH offense in check in the second half. Junior cornerback McKade Brady posted a game-high 13 tackles (nine solo, four assists), not only a career-best but also the first time in double-digit stops. With seven tackles Saturday, senior linebacker Bobby Wagner now has 395 career stops, moving up to No. 3 on USU's Career Tackles list, passing Jesse Busta (1999-2002) with 392 tackles. Wagner also moved up to No. 4 on the WAC's Career Tackles list, passing Boise State's Korey Hall (2003-06) with 394 stops. Wagner needs five more tackles to become just the third player in USU history and the fourth in the WAC (since 1979) to reach the 400-tackle milestone. Lawson and junior cornerback Jummane Robertson added three pass break-ups each, while junior defensive end Bojay Filimoeatu had two tackles for loss, including one sack. Senior linebacker Kyle Gallagher added 1.5 tackles for loss with half a sack, as part of his six tackles, matching Lawson's half-dozen tackles. Senior defensive end Levi Koskan added a sack while junior defensive lineman Havea Lasiks added half a sack, combining with Gallagher. Hawai'i was led by Moniz with 27-of-43 passing for 227 yards, 111 yards below his season average, throwing for two TD's, but was sacked by the USU defense three times. Moniz added a team-high 75 yards rushing on 12 carries, with two of them being TD scampers. Jeremiah Ostrowksi had eight catches for 76 yards and one TD, while Billy Ray Stutzmann added six catches for 36 yards and Justin Clapp had five receptions for 52 yards and a TD. Corey Paredes led the UH defense with 10 tackles.

GAME #9 Nov. 12


UTAH STATE 34, SAN JOSE STATE 33LOGAN, Utah - Junior quarterback Adam Kennedy threw a pair of late fourth quarter touchdowns rallying Utah State to a come-from-behind victory for the second time in as many weeks with a 34-33 win against San Jose State on a snowy Nov. 12 at Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. Utah State, who scored the final 21 points last week in defeating Hawai'i (35-31), scored the final 13 points Saturday to erase a late 12-point deficit. USU entered its game against the Warriors last week having blown fourth-quarter leads in five of its first seven games. Utah State, who has won back-to-back games for the first time this year, improves to 4-5 on the season and 2-2 in Western Athletic Conference action. USU has also won three straight games against the Spartans and now trails in the all-time series 13-20-1. San Jose State, who has held double-digit leads in each of its last two games, falls to 3-7 overall and 2-4 in league play with the loss. Kennedy finished the game with 255 passing yards and two touchdowns as he was 21-for-27 with one interception. Junior running back Robert Turbin added 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries giving him 1,049 yards on the season marking the 15th time in school history that a USU player has hit the century mark in a single-season and just the fifth to do it twice in a career. Senior linebacker Bobby Wagner also had a milestone game for Utah State as he finished with 12 tackles for his 21st-career double-digit tackle game giving him 407 career stops to rank third all-time in school history and fourth all-time in the WAC. Following 10 fourth quarter points from San Jose State to give the Spartans a 33-21 advantage midway through the final period, Kennedy led Utah State on an 11-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in a 14-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Travis Van Leeuwen with 5:19 remaining to make the score 33-28 SJSU. On the ensuing possession, Utah State's defense forced the Spartan's into a three-and-out and the Aggies got the ball back on its own 25-yardline with 3:43 remaining. On its game-winning drive, Utah State ran the ball on its first five plays with three rushes from Turbin and two from Kennedy moving the ball down to the San Jose State 45. Kennedy then hit sophomore wide receiver Travis Reynolds for 17 yards and senior running back Michael Smith rushed for seven yards before Kennedy connected with senior wide receiver Matt Austin from 21 yards out with 47 seconds to play for the winning score. USU couldn't connect on its two-point attempt leaving the home team with a slim one-point advantage. Utah State's final drive covered 75 yards in eight plays and took 2:56 off the clock. On its last posses-sion of the game, San Jose State drove from its own 28 to the 50 and attempted a game-winning 67-yard field goal on the final play of the game, but the kick was blocked by senior tight end Tarren Lloyd and returned by Wagner to the Spartans 24-yardline as time expired. Utah State finished the game with 541 yards of total offense (286-rushing, 255-passing) and San Jose State had 394 total yards (54-rushing, 340-passing). USU also converted 9-of-14 third downs, but also lost four fumbles on the afternoon and have five total turnovers in the game. San Jose State converted a pair of field goals on its first two possessions before Utah State took its first lead of the game on a 39-yard touchdown run by Turbin. SJSU immediately answered the Aggies' score with a 95-yard kick return and later scored again from 5-yards out giving the visitors a 20-7 lead after the first 15 minutes. Following a scoreless second quarter, which left USU trailing at halftime for the second game in a row after not trailing at the break in the previous seven games of the season, Utah State took advantage of a short field early in the third quarter as senior defensive end Levi Koskan forced and recovered a fumble following a sack on San Jose State quarterback Matt Faulkner. Turbin then scored his second TD of the game from four yards out. After San Jose State increased its advantage to nine at 23-14 following a 21-yard field goal, senior running back Michael Smith raced for a 77-yard touchdown run to get the Aggies within two late in the third quarter. Smith finished the game with 91 rushing yards on just eight carries.

Utah State has also won three in a row for the first time since 2001, in addition to being the Aggies' first three-game conference and FBS win streak since 2000. The Aggies improve to 3-2 in Western Athletic Conference action, their best WAC mark through five games in its seven years in the league and best conference ledger through five games since a 3-2 Big West record in 2003. Saturday was USU's third-straight game in which the Aggies scored in the final minute or with no time on the clock as in OT, and was also USU's seventh game this season decided by one score, tying Louisville for the second-most in the country. Kansas State's 17-13 win over Texas was KSU's eighth game this year decided by one score. Utah State's last three meetings with Idaho at Moscow have all be decided by one score, and all USU wins, as the Aggies won 24-14 in 2007, 52-49 in 2009. Overall, the Aggies have won four of the last five meetings with the Vandals and now lead the all-time series, 19-17-2. With the loss, Idaho falls to 2-9 overall and 1-3 in WAC play on the season. The Vandals have played five games this season that the outcome has been determined by one score. After not playing in an OT game since 2002, USU has now played in two this season with a 35-34 double OT loss to Colorado State on Sept. 24. Turbin went over 3,000 yards for his career and broke USU's single-season rushing TD, single-season total TD, single-season scoring and the Aggies' career scoring records. His three TD's give him a total of 296 points for his career, breaking the USU Career Points record of 284 points held by former placekicker Brad Bohn (1997-2000) with 284 points. Turbin also broke USU's Single-Season Rushing TD record, as his three on Saturday give him 19 on the year, breaking away from a tie with Abu Wilson (1996) who had the previous record of 16. The three TD's also set a new USU Single-Season Total TD's record, as Turbin now has 21 on the season, breaking his own record of 18 he set in 2009, which included a school-record tying five scores in USU's last game at Idaho as part of USU's 52-49 shootout at the Kibbie Dove. Furthermore, Turbin also broke his own USU Single-Season Scoring record, now with 126 points, breaking his 2009 record of 110. Turbin also became just the fifth Aggie RB to rush for over 3,000 career yards, and the first since Demario Brown (1996-99), who is the school rushing record holder with 4,053. Turbin is the 26th WAC running back to reach the 3,000 yard plateau, and he has now broken into the top 25 on the WAC's rushing list. USU had 310 total rushing yards as part of 492 yards of total offense, as junior QB Adam Kennedy was 13-of-18 passing for 182 yards with two TD's. Idaho had 450 yards of total offense with 275 passing and 175 rushing. The Aggies opened a 21-10 lead in the first half, but Idaho rallied with 18 third-quarter points and another TD in the fourth, knotting the game at 35-all with 9:14 left in regulation, forcing OT. Junior S McKade Brady had a career-best 16 tackles, his second double-digit tackle outing in the last three games, while Wagner posted 11 stops, his eighth double-digit tackle outing of the season and 22nd of his career. Junior CB Will Davis, who is from nearby Spokane, Wash., and had a large contingent of fans, posting 10 tackles. Senior RB Michael Smith rushed for two TD's, giving him seven rushing TD's for the season and 13 for his career, breaking into a four-way tie for 10th on USU's Career Rushing TD list. Sophomore PK Josh Thompson was 7-of-7 on PAT's extending his USU Single-Season PAT record, now with 48 on the year.

GAME #11 Nov. 26


UTAH STATE 21, NEVADA 17LOGAN, Utah - Senior WR Stanley Morrison's TD pass to junior RB Robert Turbin as time expired in the third quarter pushed the Utah State football team over Nevada 21-17 as the Aggies celebrated Senior Day Saturday at Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium by becoming bowl eligible with their sixth win of the season. With the victory, Utah State becomes bowl eligible for the first time since the 1997 season. The Aggies also captured their fourth-straight win to improve to 6-5 this season and 4-2 in Western Athletic Conference action. This is also USU's first six-win season since 1997. It is the Aggies' first four-game win streak since 2001, when USU also won four in a row, and Utah State has won four WAC games for the first time in the Aggies' seven years in the league and was USU's first four-game conference winning streak since 2000 in the Big West Conference. The win over the Wolf Pack was also the first for the Aggies since 1950, snapping a seven-game home losing streak to Nevada. It was USU's eighth game this season decided by one score. The eight games is now tied with Kansas State for the most in the country, while the Aggies' 31 total point differential is the fewest in the nation, as K-State has had a total of 36 point differential in its eight games. Nevada falls to 6-5 overall and 4-2 in WAC action. The Wolf Pack have now lost two-straight games. USU ended with 373 total offense yards, with 199 rushing and 174 passing, while Nevada accumulated an even 500 yards with 315 passing and 185 rushing, dominated the time of possession to the tune of 34:37-25:23. Junior RB Kerwynn Williams had 71 yards on nine carries with one TD, while Turbin had 18 rushes for 61 yards, including a 4-yard gain on a crucial 4th-and-1 from the USU 44 with 1:41 left in the game. Turbin also had two catches for 36 yards, including the game-winning 34-yard TD. Junior WR Matt Austin also had a TD catch, on a 21-yard snag in the back of the endzone. Junior QB Adam Kennedy was 7-of-14 passing for 140 yards with one TD pass. Nevada was led by Rishard Matthews with 12 catches for 205 yards with one TD, a 76-yard scoring play on a screen pass from Tyler Lantrip. It was Lantrip's second pass of the game after coming on in relief of injured starter Cody Fajardo. Lampford Mark added 111 yards on 22 carries with one TD, a 35-yard scamper in the second quarter. With a game-high 15 tackles, senior LB Bobby Wagner moved up to second on the USU career tackles list with 433. Wagner is also now tied for third with San Jose State's Matt Castelo (2004-07) in career tackles in the WAC. Fellow senior LB Kyle Gallagher added 11 tackles and junior S McKade Brady posted 10 tackles. It was the Aggie defense's second-straight game with three players posting double-digit tackles, which are the only two times this season for that to happen. Nevada jumped out a 10-0 lead on a 19-yard field goal by Jake Hurst with 5:44 in the first quarter. Mark opened the second stanza scoring for the Wolf Pack with a 35-yard run, capping a 9-play, 95-yard drive for Nevada with a TD. Hurst's PAT made it 10-0 at the 14:16 mark of the second quarter. USU got on the board with 2:37 remaining until half on a 10-yard option run by Williams. The 89-yard drive was boosted by a big 53-yard pass play from Kennedy to senior WR Eric Moats, which was Moats' career-long reception. Nevada tried to take a 13-3 lead into intermission, but Hurst's 31-yard field goal attempt was wide right as time expired, leaving the halftime score remaining 10-3 in Nevada's favor. After not trailing at halftime in its first seven games of the season, USU has now trailed at the break in three of its last four, and is now 3-0 when doing so. Utah State took its first lead of the game with 1:48 left in the third quarter when Kennedy threw a 21-yard TD pass to Austin in the back of the end zone. The pass play was the second of consecutive connections from Kennedy to Austin, as the TD toss was set up by a 40-yard pass play down the sideline. After Fajardo got hurt on Nevada's previous possession, Lantrip came on in the Wolf Pack's ensuing possession and hit Matthews with the screen pass, that he broke through and dashed off to the endzone, quickly re-gaining the lead for Nevada. The Aggies needed only five plays to march 77 yards, with Williams darting 25 yards for a first down, and then seven yards on the next play. USU took a timeout with two seconds left in the quarter, setting up the Morrison to Turbin pass play for the TD. Later in the fourth, Nevada drove down to the USU 12. Facing a 4th-and-1 from the 12, Lantrip ran an option play, but was stripped by senior DE Quinn Garner and Wagner recovered at the 11, ending the Wolf Pack's drive and getting the ball back for the Aggies. USU took over with 5:14 on the clock, and ate up the clock with 12 rushes, sparked by Turbin's fourth-down dash. After Nevada used all of its timeouts, the last coming on a 3rd-and-10 from the USU 48, Kennedy darted through a huge hole created by the offensive line for the first down. Kennedy took one knee as the clock wound down sparking the Aggies' celebration.

GAME #12 Dec. 3

at Aggie Memorial Stadium

UTAH STATE 24, NEW MEXICO STATE 21LAS CRUCES, N.M. - For the first time since 1979, Utah State football has seven regular-season wins as the navy Aggies won another thriller with a 24-21 win over New Mexico State Saturday afternoon at NMSU's Aggie Memorial Stadium. Junior QB Adam Kennedy hit fellow junior, WR Matt Austin with an 8-yard TD toss with 35 seconds left. After a squib kick on the kickoff, sophomore CB Nevin Lawson intercepted NMSU QB Matt Christian's pass to seal the visiting Aggies' win. Lawson's interception was significant for two-fold, as it was not only the first interception by a defensive back this season, but it was Lawson's second game-sealing oskie of his career, as he had a pick in the endzone in the waning seconds to seal Utah State's 38-34 win at San Jose State last year. The win improves USU to 7-5 overall on the season, the first time that seven wins have been in USU's win column in a season since 1993, when the seventh victory was the Aggies' win in the Humanitarian Bowl. It is the first seven-win regular season for Utah State since 1979, and just the 21st time in 113 seasons of football of having at least seven wins. It was also USU's fifth Western Athletic Conference win of the season, the Aggies' most victories in their seven years in the league. It is Utah State's best conference mark since a 4-1 Big West record in 2000 and first five conference win season for USU since 1993. Saturday was Utah State's fifth win in a row overall, including third-straight road win, the first three-game win streak away from home, winning the last two road games of the regular-season and the Las Vegas Bowl. It is the Aggies' first three-game true road game win streak since 1989. The five-game win streak overall is the most wins in a row since 1993, as 2011 is looking more and more identical to that bowl-winning season, as the 1993 squad won its last five games of the regular-season, and capped its six-game win streak with the Las Vegas Bowl victory. The win over NMSU Saturday was also Utah State's ninth game this season decided by one score. The nine games is now the most in the country for one-score games, pulling away from a tie with Kansas State and Miami (Fla.) with eight. It was Utah State's fourth win this season with less than a minute or no time on the clock, joining the Aggies' wins at Hawai'i, at Idaho and home vs. San Jose State. The TD with 35 seconds left ranks No. 10 in USU's last-minutes game-winning scores since 1991 list. It was also Utah State's second last-minute win over New Mexico State in that span, as USU beat NMSU, 45-44 in OT in 2002. Saturday's win was also the navy Aggies' first victory on grass this season, after losing its previous two games on grass at Auburn and BYU. Utah State's offensive line plowed the way for the visiting Aggies' rushing attack to amass 392 rushing yards Saturday, as USU rushed for its season-high against a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent this season, and second-highest of the season behind 440 yards vs. Weber State, and Saturday was USU's 11th-best rushing output in the program's history. The 392 rushing yards gives USU 3,330 rushing yards on the season, a new school record, bettering the previous mark of 3,120 set in 1960. USU ended the day with 515 yards of total offense, as Kennedy was 12-of-16 passing for 123 yards with a season-high three TD's, his fourth multi-TD passing outing in the just over four-and-a-half games that he has been the main signal-caller for USU. Senior RB Michael Smith had a career-best outing with 121 yards on 18 carries, while junior RB Robert Turbin had 98 yards on 25 rushes and Kennedy added a career-high 95 yards on 15 carries. Junior RB Kerwynn Williams also had 68 yards rushing. Austin ended the game with 32 yards receiving on five catches, while senior WR Stanley Morrison had four receptions for 60 yards, extending his WAC-leading receptions streak to 36-straight games. NMSU, which lost is third-straight game to end the season with a 4-9 overall and 2-6 WAC mark, totalled 397 yards of total offense, as Christian was 17-of-40 passing for 252 yards with one TD and two INT's. Kenny Turner led NMSU with 65 yards rushing on 13 carries while Taveon Rogers had six catches for 73 yards. It was a scoreless first quarter, in which USU had two chances inside the NMSU 10, going for it on fourth down both times, but not getting it either time. The visiting Aggies got on the board early in the second quarter, when Kennedy hit Turbin with a 21-yard TD toss for a 7-0 USU advantage with 8:52 on the second quarter clock. NMSU countered on its next possession, with Christian scrambling for a 16-yard TD run to tie it at 7-all with 6:43 left in the half. USU took a 14-7 lead after a 6-yard TD pass from Kennedy to Austin with 1:39 to go in the first half. NMSU drove the ball down the field as the first half clock wound down, getting down to the USU 2 with 18 seconds left. But on third-down, senior LB Kyle Gallagher snared an interception, his first INT of not only the season but his career. It was USU's third INT of the season and all three have been by linebackers as senior LB Wagner has a team-leading two oskies on the year. Kennedy took a knee to end the half, sending the teams into the locker room with the scoreboard reading 14-7 in USU's favor. After a USU fumble at midfield on its opening drive of the third quarter, Christian hit Kemonte' Bateman with a 51-yard TD pass to tie it at 14-14 with 13:22 remaining in the third stanza. Sophomore PK Josh Thompson gave USU a 17-14 lead with 9:46 left in the fourth with a 23-yard field goal, capping a 15-yard drive in which the navy Aggies ran every play, eating up 6:21 to go 75 yards. NMSU needed just three plays and 1:08 to march 66 yards, with Turner capping the drive with a 3-yard TD run and the PAT gave NMSU a 21-17 lead with 8:29 left. After the teams traded punts, USU got the ball on its own 17 with 5:04 on the clock. After nine-straight running plays, the visiting Aggies reached the NMSU 14 with just under a minute left, facing a fourth-and-two. Kennedy ran an option play and had just long enough reach to get the first down just inside the 12, a ruling that required a lenghty measure followed by an even longer review by the officials after NMSU challenged the call, but the review confirmed the ruling on the field. On the next play, Smith plowed ahead for a 4-yard gain and on the following play, Kennedy hit Austin with a toss in the corner of the endzone for the game-winning TD with 35 seconds left.
