Sluggish Aggies fall at Hawai’i, ending eight-game win streak vs Warriors | Sports

Utah State arrived a day late to the island of O’ahu, its travel plans beign changed last-minute. That carried over into the Aggies Saturday-evening contest against Hawai’i as they couldn’t find a groove throughout the night, ultimately losing to the Warriors 44-26. The defeat ended an eight-game winning streak against Hawai’i that spanned a decade and a half. “We lost that game ourselves,” said USU running back Miles Davis. “We didn’t do a lot of stuff that our team usually do.” Hawai’i quarterback Micah Alejado threw for 413 yards and three touchdowns — all of them to Pofele Ashlock who also had 113 receiving yards on the night — with Utah State really not showing any response for essentially the entire night. The Aggies were burned on deep passes early in the game, with Alejado connecting on passes of 28, 43 and 46 yards in the first half. Then, for most of the rest of the game, he took what Utah State gave him. Short and intermediate completions were there for the taking and Alejado feasted on them. He completed 15 of 19 passes that were thrown between five and 14 yards down the field, acumulating 158 yards on those throws.
