Different Shade Of Blue

Friday the Aggies ended a 10 game losing streak against the Cougs and in a major way almost to a sense a different shade of blue. Unfortunately, it wasn't pretty as Utah State throttled the Cougs 31-16 owning the field overall for 434 yards with 192 through the air and 242 on the ground. The aggies defense also held BYU in check limiting DiLuigi to only 42 yards and 1 TD. Freshman Joshua Quezada did begin to get more involved rushing 6 times for 20 yards. The list of injuries from previous games continued to pileup. Much of the second half was played defensively by the Cougs without the services of leading tackler Adam Rich (stinger and upper arm contusion) and Jordan Pendleton (knee sprain). Shane Hunter had a game high 13 tackles while Jadon Wagner and Travis Uale had 10 each. It doesn't get any easier as the Cougs fall to 1-4 with the loss and face San Diego State at home who throttled the aggies 41-7.
