During the post-game press conference for Utah State Football following its 20-17 loss at Texas State, safety David Kabongo fielded a pair of questions, the latter of which has been lobbed toward several players and coaches of the 2-5 Aggies over the last month or so. 1. How good can this team be if you can put all three aspects of the game together, and 2. How close to doing so do you feel this team is? Kabongo answered with optimism that belies the situation Utah State currently finds itself in. “I feel like we’re right there,” Kabongo said. “We’re just scratching the surface. We’re right there. It’s just a couple pieces. We all got to click at the same time. We can’t have one facet or one unit just slip up. We need all three units, whether it’s defense, offense, and special teams. We need them all clicking at the same time so we can be a complete team.” There’s not much, if anything, wrong in what Kabongo said in that moment. But he didn’t acknowledge the elephant in the room. That being that his side of the ball has been taking care of business in every game this
SANDY, Utah (AP) — Sergi Solans scored a goal in each half and Real Salt Lake took advantage of a red card on Tomas Ostrak to beat St. Louis City 3-0 on Saturday night. Rafael Cabral totaled two saves for Real Salt Lake (11-14-6), which began the day one spot away from a postseason berth in the Western Conference. It was his third clean sheet in 30 starts. Solans staked Real Salt Lake to a 1-0 halftime lead when he used an assist from Morgan Guilavogui in the 41st minute to score. Ostrak was flagged for his second yellow card of the half three minutes later, leaving St. Louis City (14-8-9) a man down from there. Dominic Marczuk took a pass from Luc de Fougerolles seven minutes into the second half and scored his second goal for a 2-0 lead. Solans scored again in the 59th minute — with assists from Guilavogui and Saba Lobjanidze — for a three-goal advantage. Solans has 14 goals this season, surpassing Duncan McGuire (13 in 2023) for the second-most goals by a SuperDraft selection in his first season out of college in league history. Ben Lundt saved four shots for St. Louis City —
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Dmitri Simashev scored his second goal of the game at 1:44 of overtime as the Utah Mammoth beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-4 on Saturday night. Simashev’s first goal tied the game at 4-4 with 2:28 remaining in the second period. Nikita Kucherov became Tampa Bay’s franchise leader in points when he assisted on Brayden Point’s goal with 7:18 remaining in the first period. That put him at 1,138 career points, one more than former teammate Steven Stamkos, who had held the record since April 2022. Kucherov has played his entire career with Tampa Bay, starting in 2013. Kailer Yamamoto, Dylan Guenther and Anders Lee also scored for the Mammoth. Vincent Trocheck had two assists, while Clayton Keller, Andrew Peeke, Mackenzie Weegar and Sergachev each recorded one assist. Charle-Edouard D’Astous, Pontus Holmberg and Conor Geekie had the other goals for the Lightning. D’Astous, Ryan McDonagh, Scott Sabourin and Erik Cernak had assists. Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead with 14:50 remaining in the first period. D’Astous was credited with a goal after a Mammoth player tried to tap the puck to goalie Karel Vejmelka, but it went between his legs and into the net. Yamamoto

Utah State’s defense put up one of its marquee performances of the season, holding the nation’s top offense to just 250 yards and 13 points. However, the Aggies fell by a final score of 20-17 at Texas State on Saturday. There isn’t a typo in that lead. The Aggies’ defensive unit, strictly speaking, only gave up three scoring drives — two field goals and one touchdown. The missing points between the Bobcats’ offense and the final score came from a kick return touchdown in the first quarter. And that wasn’t the only special teams snafu from Utah State, going alongside a partially blocked punt and, most crucially, a missed field goal as time expired that would have sent the game into overtime. “There is the difference. Three to five plays determine outcome,” Utah State head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “I didn’t expect it for sure. Our kickoff coverage has been exceptional, and was after that kick. Never imagined we’d get a punt blocked or partially blocked, as that’s been a strong unit, one of the strongest on our team. And yeah, having an opportunity to kick the field goal to put us in overtime — team battled to do that

Zion Williamson scored 23 and Saddiq Bey had 20 points for the Pelicans (0-2) who gave up second-half leads in both of their games this season. In a frantic final minute as the Pelicans tried to regain the lead they had for much of the fourth quarter, the officials upheld a charging foul on Williamson and Dejounte Murray missed a pull-up jumper just before the final buzzer. New Orleans starting center Yves Missi injured his left knee in the second quarter and had to be helped to the locker room. He missed the rest of the game and will be re-evaluated Saturday. With 6:30 left in the second quarter, a driving shot attempt by Williamson was blocked by Hayes and then Williamson fell into Missi’s leg. After a scoreless first half, Murray scored his first 12 points during a 31-13 burst that erased a
