Utah State Aggies

Utah State Safety Ike Larsen Ends Colorado State Drive With Pick In End Zone

“Leading 17-3 early in the second quarter and with momentum on their side, CSU had driven into Aggie territory. On 1st-and-10, QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi uncorked a deep ball intended for all-Mountain West receiver Tory Horton. Utah State safety Ike Larsen read the play perfectly, sprinting to the spot before leaping with Horton in the end zone and coming down with the interception. Larsen finished the game with two INTs for the second time in his career.” – USU insider Brian Preece
