Championship game berth in question as Aggies drop home finale in Logan – Cache Valley Daily
LOGAN—Utah State entered Saturday night’s game at the top of the conference standings while Wyoming was looking for just its second conference win, but it was the Cowboys who left town with the 44-17 victory, bowl eligible and the Bridger Rifle rivalry trophy. Behind 604 yards of total offense, Wyoming improved to 6-5 overall and 2-5 in conference. Utah State fell to 8-3 overall and 5-2 in conference. Aggie head coach Blake Anderson said he was worried all week about matching up with Wyoming’s style of play and size, and it proved to be a major issue. “We made way too many mistakes to stay in the game,” he said. “And honestly, just got shoved around.” The loss put the Aggies in a much more unfavorable position in the conference race. Utah State no longer controls its own destiny in the Mountain West race.

Anderson said that looking at the game will hurt, and that he and his team will need to get over it fast. “We’ve got to recoup, refresh these guys
