LOGAN — There was no way around it.
Once Utah State’s early 7-0 lead turned into a 21-7 deficit early in the second quarter of Friday night’s game against BYU, Utah State fans everywhere had the same thought: Here we go again.
In USU’s ugly losses at Wisconsin and Wake Forest early in the season, once things started to go bad for the Aggies, things went really, really bad for the Aggies.
But unlike Utah State’s 59-10 loss to the Badgers (which featured 59 unanswered points by Wisconsin) and its 46-10 drubbing at the hands of the Demon Deacons (who were up 36-0 to start the game), the Aggie defense not only stopped the bleeding, but it also ended up saving the day and the 40-24 victory at Maverik Stadium.
