Aggie football breaks the curse
USU football head coach Gary Andersen summed it up simply at the post-game press conference Saturday night when he said, “Winning is fun. That is the No. 1 thing I can say.”
Yes, winning is fun. And that is exactly what the Aggies did. After a series of heartbreaking losses, USU found its balance and dominated the University of Wyoming Cowboys. The Aggies won 63-19, beating Wyoming for the first time since 1978.
After being down 12-0 early in the first quarter the Aggies jumped into action, scoring the most points in the first half than they have since 1991. This was the biggest win since USU beat the University of Idaho 63-17 in 1997.
“We came out, down 12-nothing, but the biggest thing was we didn’t panic,” said Aggie quarterback Chuckie Keeton. “We had a few set plays, we just had to go out there and execute them, and it worked out.”
The trio of Keeton, Robert Turbin and Bobby Wagner are among the best football players in Utah and should lead the Aggies to great things. Keeton is already getting his name mentioned alongside USU greats like Anthony Calvillo.
