RENO, Nev. - Nevada quarterback Ty Gangi scored on a 6-yard touchdown run with five seconds remaining in the game and Spencer Pettit tacked on the extra point as Nevada rallied for a 38-37 win over Utah State on Saturday afternoon at Mackay Stadium.

Redshirt freshman placekicker Dominik Eberle kicked the first three field goals of his career for the Aggies, including a 22-yarder that gave Utah State (3-8, 1-7 Mountain West) a 37-24 lead with 7:50 to go.

Tonny Lindsey, Jr. had a career day for the Aggies. The junior running back rushed for a career-best 168 yards on 21 carries. His career-long 68-yard touchdown run with 11:03 remaining in the game made it 34-24 for Utah State.

Junior quarterback Kent Myers was 10-of-18 passing for 127 yards and an interception. He also had 90 yards rushing and two scores on just 11 carries. The native of Rowlett, Texas, went over 1,000 yards rushing for his career on Saturday, becoming the third Aggie quarterback to do so.

Freshman wide receiver Rayshad Lewis added 83 yards rushing and a career-long 59-yard touchdown run on four carries, helping Utah State gain 396 yards on the ground.

However, the Wolf Pack (4-7, 2-5) rallied and scored the game's final 14 points. Elijah Mitchell began the comeback for Nevada when he recovered a muffed punt by the Aggies in the end zone with 7:19 to go.

Utah State went three-and-out on the ensuing possession and Nevada drove down to the Aggies' 5-yard line. Gangi threw an incomplete pass on third-and-4 and senior cornerback Marquan Ellison tackled James Butler short of the first down on the Wolf Pack's fourth-down play.

Utah State took over on its own 3, but three straight rushes by junior running back LaJuan Hunt netted six yards and the Aggies were forced to punt with less than two minutes remaining.

The Wolf Pack took over on their own 49 and marched down to the Utah State 6, where they eventually faced fourth-and-goal with seconds remaining. Gangi dropped back to pass and couldn't find an open receiver, so he kept it and ran untouched up the middle for the touchdown.

Senior linebacker Anthony Williams recorded 11 tackles for the Aggies, including 1.0 tackles for loss, while senior safety Devin Centers recorded 10 stops.

Senior defensive end Ricky Ali'ifua had two tackles, including 1.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sacks. On his sack, Ali'ifua forced Gangi to fumble and freshman nose guard Mohelika Uasike caught it in midair, returning it 30 yards.

The Aggies cashed in on the turnover as Eberle's third and final field goal of the day gave them their 13-point fourth-quarter advantage.

Nevada cracked the scoreboard first when Pettit drilled a 35-yard field goal with 3:37 remaining in the first quarter.

Utah State answered back on the ensuing possession, though. Myers capped the six-play, 79-yard drive with a 37-yard touchdown run to make it 7-3 for the Aggies with 1:02 left in the first.

Eberle gave the visitors a 10-3 lead with his first field goal, a career-long 43-yarder, with 9:52 remaining in the second quarter. The Aggies opened up a two-touchdown lead with 5:25 left in the half on a 2-yard touchdown run by Myers. Lewis helped set up the score with a 19-yard run, giving Utah State a first-and-goal at the 2.

However, Nevada cut the deficit to 17-10 at halftime as Wyatt Demps caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Gangi with just 38 seconds showing on the clock.

Nevada got the ball to start the second half, but Utah State's defense forced the Wolf Pack to go three-and-out. On the very first play of the ensuing possession, Lewis scored on his 59-yard run, making it 24-10.

The Wolf Pack answered back with a Jaxson Kinkaide 7-yard touchdown run, trimming the deficit to 24-17 with 9:09 to go in the third.

The Aggies took a 27-17 lead into the fourth quarter after Eberle connected on his second field goal, this time from 20 yards.

Nevada cashed in on the game's first turnover to pull within three early in the fourth quarter. With the Aggies facing third-and-inches just past midfield, Myers was intercepted by Jaden Sawyer, who returned it 43 yards to the Utah State 20-yard line. Hunt made the touchdown-saving tackle.

The Wolf Pack found the end zone just two plays later, though, when Butler scored on a 15-yard touchdown run.

Whatever momentum Nevada gained following the touchdown was quickly lost, thanks to Lindsey's 68-yard touchdown.

Utah State finished with 523 yards of total offense, while Nevada recorded 341.

The Aggies conclude their season on Saturday, Nov. 26, when they take on BYU at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. The game is slated to kick off at 8:15 p.m. and will be televised live on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
