Utah State's bowl hopes are very much alive. The Aggies beat Fresno State 17-10 on Saturday, Nov. 7, in Logan, and held the Bulldogs scoreless in the first half. Sesi Vailahi and McCae Hillstead each ran in a short touchdown in the first quarter, the AP reported.
Utah State is 4-5 overall and 3-2 in the Pac-12. With three games left, the Aggies need two wins to reach six and a bowl game. Fresno State's only touchdown was a 12-yard Jayden Mandal pass to Ezekiel Avit with 1:30 left.
“We learned, we grew and we're seeing some of the results now.”
