Analysis

Unfortunately for Utah State, a loss to Wyoming does not help their chances of winning the Mountain Division. Neither does a Boise State win at Air Force on Saturday as the Broncos are now in the drivers seat for the division.

Utah State’s offense once again struggled with Bishop Davenport at quarterback but the key stat that turned this game around was Utah State giving up 330 rushing yards, 160 yards and three touchdowns to Titus Swen

The other statistic that hurt Utah State in this game was their third down conversion percentage, where Utah State converted five of their fifteen third downs.

Even though an appearance in the conference championship is very unlikely at this point, it is still very possible for the Aggies to gain bowl eligibility and that is what they need to focus on at this point. Up next for the Aggies is a bye week before a game at New Mexico.
