Utah 24 Utah State 14
Chukie was able to drive the ball against Utah, but couldn't get it into the end zone. Utah wins by forcing turnovers in the 4th quarter after the Aggies drove deep into Ute Territory. The bad news for Utah, Travis Wilson didn't play in the 2nd half. Perhaps the game would not have been as close as it was with him in there. The Utes had to make adjustments around Kendal Thompson at half time, and that gave the offense just enough to win the game.

Here is exhibit #2 that Utah State was looking past the Thunderbirds in week one. The Jackrabbits ran all over their former rival. How else would you explain holding one of the best quarterbacks in the country to a handful of first downs in week 1, then allowing nearly 400 yards passing by SDSU quarterbacks in week #2? It's hard to pick an MVP for SUU in this one, as the score was so one sided, and there was really no bright spot.

Sometimes I am glad I am wrong. In this case, we won't be waiting until next week for WSU's first offensive touchdown. The offense at least showed something in a closer than expected game in Fargo. No, that wasn't meant to be a sarcastic punch at the Wildcats. NDSU is really a team that should be in the FBS.
WSU MVP: WR Treshawn Garrett

As Lefty Gomez once said, "it is better to be lucky than good." Tanner Mangum struggled at times against one of the best defenses in the country. But when it counted, particularly with 45 seconds left in the game, and on 4th and long, Mangum pulled another magic trick out of his hat. But the real heroes of this game for the Cougars were on the defense, that held Boise State to -8 yards in the 4th quarter. Kai Nacua put the Miami Beach Bowl sucker punch behind him and picked off BSU QB Ryan Finley 3 times.
BYU MVP: DB Kai Nacua
