First Quarter


The game kicked off with both teams displaying strong offensive plays. Utah State's Bryson Barnes led an impressive drive resulting in a rushing touchdown, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities early on. However, the Broncos responded swiftly with a field goal and a touchdown of their own, ending the quarter with Boise leading 10-14.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Utah State continued to rely on their ground game. Javen Jacobs broke through for a remarkable 56-yard rushing touchdown that electrified the home crowd and put Utah back in front. Despite this effort, Boise managed to add another field goal before halftime, leaving Utah ahead by just four points at halftime.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw defensive adjustments from both sides as scoring slowed down significantly. Tanner Rinker added three points for Utah with his precise kicking from 37 yards out. Meanwhile, Noah Avinger stood out defensively for the Aggies by recovering a fumble that halted one of Boise's promising drives.


Fourth Quarter


As tensions rose in the fourth quarter, Brevin Hamblin forced another fumble that gave hope to Aggie fans for a comeback victory. Unfortunately for Utah State supporters hoping for redemption after last week's performance against New Mexico Lobos (where they also fell short), it was not enough as two late touchdowns by BSU sealed their fate despite valiant efforts from players like John Miller who recorded double-digit tackles throughout this intense battle between conference rivals.
