Utah State Football Picks Up Steam With Dominant Win Over Nevada

LOGAN, Utah — Utah State football kept its unblemished home record alive as they blew out the Nevada Wolf Pack at Maverik Stadium on Saturday.

The Aggies scored 24 points in the first quarter and didn’t look in the rearview mirror once. They tacked on 17 in the second and kept piling on in the second half.

The 51-14 win was Utah State’s first time surpassing 50 since this time last year, when they stomped Hawai’i in week 11.

Utah State Dominates Nevada At Home

The first quarter was about as lopsided as it could be.

There were seven drives in the frame, and it played out like this: USU touchdown, Nevada three-and-out, USU touchdown, Nevada three-and-out, USU field goal, USU pick-six, and then another Nevada three-and-out.

The second quarter was just as ugly.

Utah State scored on three of its four drives and picked off the Wolf Pack for a second time. In the first half, quarterback Bryson Barnes had two passing touchdowns and running back Miles Davis had two rushing scores.

The second half was basically a completely different game compared to the first 30 minutes of action.

First of all, the Nevada offense finally caught some wind in its sails, scoring two touchdowns off the arm of quarterback Chubba Purdy.

Second, the Aggies came back down to earth a bit on both ends. There were just two USU scores after the break. A third Barnes passing touchdown and a late field goal from Tanner Rinker.

Utah State improved to 5-4 (3-2) with the blowout win.
