LARAMIE, Wyo. – Utah State's two-game winning streak came to an end Saturday at the hands of a former Aggie.
Grad senior running back
Calvin Tyler Jr. rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown, while true freshman quarterback
Bishop Davenport added a rushing TD of his own, but it wasn't enough as Wyoming beat the Aggies 28-14 at War Memorial Stadium.
Former Utah State quarterback
Andrew Peasley, now in his first season with the Cowboys, was 13-of-26 for 199 yards through air, to go along with 29 yards rushing on six carries. Wyoming running back Titus Swen led all rushers in the game with 160 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries.
The Cowboys (5-3, 3-1 Mountain West) scored the first 14 points of the game before Davenport scored on a five-yard run to make it 14-7 with 3:48 to go in the second quarter. Wyoming led 17-7 at the break, though, after John Hoyland kicked a 43-yard field goal.
Utah State (3-5, 2-2 MW) pulled to within 17-14 with 7:09 remaining in the third quarter after Tyler scored on a 31-yard run. Unfortunately for the injury-riddled Aggies, that's as close as they would get the rest of the way.
Hoyland kicked his second field goal of the game, this time from 51 yards out, to make it 20-14 with 3:06 left in the third, and Swen cemented the win with his third rushing TD of the night, a six-yarder with 4:11 remaining in the fourth.
The Cowboys had possession of the ball for more than 35 minutes on the night, and tallied 28 first downs – more than double the Aggies' 13. Wyoming finished with 529 yards of total offense and held USU to just 217.
Utah State senior inside linebacker
AJ Vongphachanh finished with a game-high 10 tackles, while grad senior safety
Hunter Reynolds and junior outside linebacker added eight stops apiece.
