In relief of a concussed McCae Hillstead, Cooper Legas ignited a stagnant Aggie offense when he entered early in the third quarter. Legas and Jalen Royals connected for three touchdown passes in 14:45 of game time between the third and fourth quarters. Royals finished with seven catches for 185 yards. Legas completed 11-of-13 passes for 204 yards and zero turnovers in the 34-33 win.

MJ Tafisi Jr. led the Aggies with 13 tackles. Anthony Switzer finished with ten stops and three tackles for a loss, including one sack. Safety Ike Larsen earned MW Special Teams Player of the Week recognition after his blocked extra point in the final minute allowed USU to escape Connecticut with the victory.
