Utah State 63 Wyoming 19
One way to avoid a frantic comeback by the opposition is to build a big, insurmountable lead. That is what the Aggies did at home against the Cowboys today. The Aggies took a 49-19 lead into the locker room at halftime and coasted to their largest point total in decades. Chuckie Keeton passed for 5 touchdowns and Robert Turpin ran for 111 yards. Next week is the game that could turn the season and the USU football program around the corner for good. A win at Fresno State next week will let the WAC know to watch out for Utah State this year.
USU MVP: QB Chukie Keeton
BYU 29 San Jose State 16
The turnover bug still bit the Cougars today, but San Jose State was only able to get 13 points from the as BYU gave their fans a homecoming victory for 2011. QB Riley Nelson was able to move the offense consistently. All 3 turnover happened deep in Spartan territory. The Cougars never punted today. But the three turnovers and trouble stopping the Pistol made this a more uncomfortable victory than most Cougar fans expected.
BYU MVP: QB Riley Nelson
South Dakota 24 Southern Utah 19
The Tunderbirds failed to recover an onside kick late in the 4th quarter and South Dakota held on to a close victory over Southern Utah. Possibly the lack of a running game, with only 11 net yards on the ground, explained why SUU was not able to move the ball consistently and score touchdowns when they were needed. Credit the Coyote defenders for that. SUU falls to 3-3 for the season and are two losses away from being eliminated from post season contention. The GWC does not have an automatic playoff bid and the NCAA FCS requires 7 wins for post-season contention.
SUU MVP: QB Brad Sorensen
