Utah State’s football team has been struggling in the first halves of games, being outscored 90-24 in the past two matchups. Interim head coach Nate Dreiling expressed frustration with the team’s lack of execution, discipline, and focus, leading to costly mistakes on offense and defense. Despite a strong second-half effort in their recent loss to UNLV, the Aggies were unable to overcome their early mistakes.
Quarterback Spencer Petras had a standout performance, setting records for completions and attempts while throwing for 461 yards and three touchdowns. Receiver duo Jalen Royals and Jack Hestera also had impressive performances in the loss.
Looking ahead to their upcoming game against New Mexico, the Aggies are aiming to address their slow starts and improve their overall execution from the beginning. New Mexico, led by former BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall, is seeking their first win in Logan since 2016. The Lobos have struggled defensively, allowing an average of 498 yards and nearly 43 points per game.
The game will be broadcast on truTV, with KSL Sports providing radio coverage. Utah State will look to build on their second-half momentum and secure a victory against New Mexico on Saturday. Fans can follow the action on the KSL Sports app and online at KSLSports.com.
