No resistance at all on that UNLV drive and Jai’Den Thomas makes it 47-14 with a long touchdown run

Petras extends the play, extends it some more, and hits Jalen Royals at the front pylon to make it 47-21 with 7:10 to play in the third quarter

Looks like Clyde Washington is down and being attended to on the field, was holding his leg. Jon Ross Maye is out there with him offering support

UNLV is burning clock. This drive started with five minutes left in the third quarter and will carry into the final frame. Aggies trail 47-21

Petras finds Broc Lane on a slant and the Aggies are in the end zone again, now trailing 47-28 with 11:36 to play

Utah State defense holds again with help from a big sack, and the Aggies will get the ball back with 8:55 to play. 47-28

Spencer Petras has broken the Utah State single game record for completions with 35, per Doug Hoffman

Utah State just successfully drew an offsides on a critical play. I feel like that’s the first time that’s happened all season

Oh man Otto Tia has to catch that ball. That’s two or three interceptions this season that just bounced off his hands, and this one all but ends Utah State’s hopes of a comeback, slim as those hopes already were

USU with another red zone stand, and UNLV settles for a field goal making it 50-28. 3:31 to play

I don’t know what Jalen Royals is made of but he just absorbed a huge hit from Jett Elad and Elad somehow got the worst of it

Tough running from Herschel Turner to find the end zone. Aggies aren’t going to win, but they’ve outscored UNLV 27-9 in the second half and made this score a little more respectable, 50-34

UNLV recovers the onside kick, and that’ll do it. Utah State falls to 1-5 (0-2) on the year with a 50-34 loss. Aggies will try to claim their first FBS win of the year next week against New Mexico

Dreiling: “The halftime speech was pretty simple. They either need to go out and execute and be a smart football team, or don’t go back onto the field at all”

Rahsul Faison left the game and got an X-ray but Dreiling said that he should be okay. Not sure what that injury was

I’m hoping to see this mentality applied moving forward, partially because it worked tonight and partially because this defense needs it. Nobody is untouchable on a unit that has struggled this much. If you’ve got to start pulling guys to get the message across, so be it

Next sporting event I’ll be covering is a Utah State basketball game in the Spectrum. I can’t imagine a more beautiful sentence
