USU vs Utes

What a game!  I don't attend football games very often... but I scored some sweet tickets from a friend, and brought along my brother and some friends.  This game was incredible to watch!  I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.  Usually the Aggies don't bring it, on the football field, which makes for not much motivation to go to the games.  However, this year I think is our year.  We actually won!
An article clip about the game:
Utah starting quarterback Jordan Wynn went down in the second quarter against Utah State Friday and the bad news didn't stop there for the Utes. For the first time since 1997, Utah lost to in-state rival Utah State. Wynn went 6 of 11 for 47 yards in the 27-20 overtime loss before being knocked out of the game.
The X-rays on Wynn's shoulder came back negative, which means Utah could have a quarterback controversy on its hands heading into next week's showdown with BYU. In just under two quarters of action, Wynn was largely ineffective, with the Utes only gaining 59 total yards while he was in the game. Once Wynn was out though, the Utah offense came alive, tallying 266 yards in his absence.
Backup quarterback Jon Hays led the Utes to 13 of their 20 points, including two field goals and a touchdown. He threw for 155 yards. "Change up" QB Travis Wilson, as coach Kyle Whittingham calls him, was responsible for Utah's other score. He hit wide receiver Kenneth Scott for a 28-yard third quarter touchdown on a flea flicker. That was Wilson's only pass attempt of the game.
Utah had a chance to win the game in regulation, but a 52-yard attempt by Coleman Petersen went wide left, sending the game into overtime. Petersen did hit two field goals in the game though, connecting from 40 and 42 yards.
After Utah State's Kerwynn Williams scored from 1-yard out in OT, Utah had a chance to tie it, but a Jon Hays pass on fourth-and-goal from the 17 went incomplete, giving the Aggies the win.

So glad we went, it was so much fun to watch! :)

Took this pic right after the game...
me and my bro.  We had amazing seats, it was a blast!
