Monday Cooldown — Can the Aggies’ 1-4 season be salvaged? | Sports

There isn’t a way to sugarcoat Utah State’s 1-4 start to the season. The best you can do is cite the fact that the Aggies have played three ranked opponents, two of which remain ranked in the latest AP Poll. But in the end, good teams will win these games. The Aggies set expectations of contending for a Pac-12 championship game, and a team of that caliber wouldn’t have lost 33-0 to Utah, or gone down 21-0 to Boise State, wouldn’t have lost to Idaho State at home, and probably would have managed to figure out a way to win at Washington (a team now ranked outside the top 40 in SP+). Put another way, per FEI ratings, an above-average team would have roughly one loss against Utah State’s schedule. An average team would have two losses, and a below-average team would have three losses. The Aggies have four losses and everything that number in the loss column implies. The balance between the reality of Utah State’s strength of schedule and the reality of being 1-4 is not easy to figure out. And it’s not just the fans and media that need to thread that needle.

Austin Smotherman wins in Utah for first PGA Tour title | Sports

IVINS, Utah (AP) — Austin Smotherman recovered from his lone blunder with two great shots and was able to cruise home to a 3-under 68 on Sunday to win the Bank of Utah Championship, his first PGA Tour victory in his 100th career start. Smotherman came into the week at No. 79 in the FedEx Cup — the top 100 keep full PGA Tour cards for 2027 — and picked up some immediate rewards. He now has a two-year exemption, which includes the lucrative “Championship Series” when the new competitive model starts in 2028. “We won on the PGA Tour. That’s insane,” he said. Smotherman never trailed at the Black Desert Resort, and he quickly built a three-shot cushion with a pair of tap-in birdies and a 35-foot birdie on the par-4 fifth. But right when it looked as though the 32-year-old Smotherman would eliminate all drama on a beautiful afternoon in southern Utah, it changed quickly. His approach to the par-4 13th came up short and plugged near the lip of a bunker. The best Smotherman could manage was to advance it to a flatter lie in the sand, he blasted out to 10 feet from there and missed
