Aggies Fight Hard Against Top-19 | Salt Lake City News

Utah State fought valiantly against No. 19 Washington, showing grit and heart despite a heartbreaking 16-14 loss. Backup QB Grady Brosterhous made his first career start after the starter went down, leading a late drive that nearly pulled off the win—only to fall short due to a costly penalty and an intercepted Hail Mary. The defense shined, holding Washington to just one TD and forcing tough third-down battles, while punter Landon Rehkow pinned them deep repeatedly. Offensively, it was rough—running lanes were nonexistent, and Brosterhous scrambled for most of his yards. Coach Mendenhall praised the team’s resilience and growth, but stressed urgent improvements needed on offense before facing another ranked foe next week.
