Utah State
Once again this season, the Utah State Aggies were not able to hold onto a 4th quarter lead and dropped a 24-23 decision in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise this evening. USU took a 23-10 lead with 5 minutes remaining in the game, but were not able to hold off the Bobcats, who scored with just seconds remaining in the 4th quarter.
MVP: RB Michael Smith
For next season
Utah State has not won 8 games in a season since 1979 and will attempt to do so next year, as well as winning a conference championship. Gone will be Nevada, Hawaii and Fresno State with Texas State and Texas San Antonio in their place. The first question will be if Robert Turbin will be back. He was not been come to a decision, but has filed evaluation papers, according to KSL. Michael Smith will graduate and will not be back either. Kerwynn Williams, however, should be.
BYU
The Cardiac Cougars struck again, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 11 seconds on the clock after it appeared that they were lining up to spike the ball and run a play with the clocked stopped. The final score came on a short touchdown pass from Riley Nelson to Cody Hoffman. The play they ran is called Red Alert, and it was called on the field by the gutsy Nelson and not by the coaching staff. It is a play that will go down in Cougar lore behind Jim McMahon's 'Hail Mary' against SMU and Steve Young's catch and run on a half-back pass from Eddie Stinnett against Missouri.
MVP: WR Cody Hoffman
For next season
There are a few Cougars that graduate and will move on. Two offensive lineman, including the gutsy Matt Reynolds move on. But most of the skilled stars will be back including receivers Cody Hoffman and Ross Apo and quarterback Riley Nelson. On defense, super star Kyle Van Noy has two years of eligibility remaining. The 2012 schedule is a little on the soft side and BYU would have to run the table to get anything better than the Poinsettia bowl.
Utah
The Utes equaled the Cougars in the cardiac arrest department in their bowl victory. On 4th and 14 with under 3 minutes remaining, Jon Hays found DeVonte Christopher for a 28-yard touchdown pass. The conversion would tie the game in send the game into overtime. Utah came away with a 30-27 win after John White IV scored from 8 yards out. The off-maligned Hays had a solid game and was key to the Ute comeback. He would throw 3 touchdown passes and only one interception. The Utes trailed 24-10 midway through the 4th quarter.
MVP: QB Jon Hays
For next season
The Utes lose one very key player, but not someone on the field...Offensive Coordinator Norm Chow has accepted the head coaching position in Hawaii. For the Utes, they hope that Jordan Wynn will return next season from injury, but they have Chase Peterson coming from high school. And the Utes will have to contend with a now-eligible USC who figures to be the beast of the PAC-12 south.
