Aztecs wins 3rd game of the year, but only after an OT thriller

Aztecs were the favorite going into the game, but the Utah State Aggies would not just give them the win. San Diego State would score first, late in the 1st quarter on a 2 yard run by back-up HB Davon Brown. Utah State would answer back on their next drive early in the 2nd quarter with a 1 yard run by Michael Smith. San Diego State would add a FG, with Utah State getting another TD with a 6 yard pass. San Diego Would would manage to get into FG range right before half time to cut it to 14-13. that FG would prove to be huge in the end.

The 3rd quarter was a little slow for both teams, Utah State did score a TD late in the 3rd on a 7 yard pass, taking a 21-13 lead. San Diego State had a real nice drive going early in the 4th, but fumbled the ball in the red zone. They would get another chance late in the 4th however, and capitalizing on that drive with a 9 yard pass to Brandon Sullivan. They had to go for 2 , they would be successful and force OT.

In OT, Utah State got the ball first. They got 1 first down but would come up short of the end zone and have to try a FG on a 4th and goal. They would take a 24-21 lead. San Diego State would get a chance to win it with a TD, and they would indeed get a TD after a 20 yard pass, then a 5 yard scramble by Ryan Lindley.

Aztecs would win 27-24 and move to 3-1 in the season. very good non-conference record before heading into Mountain West conference play. Next Week the Aztecs will have a bye week before traveling to Provo and facing the BYU Cougars for the MWC opener.
