Credit the Aggies' defense for coming up big in tonight's game as they close out the Bengals with Utah State leading 33-13 in the closing minutes. Utah State's defense intercepted ISU quarterback Justin Arias three times, with the turnovers leading to two touchdowns and a field goal. Jalen Davis had two of the interceptions and Brian Suite had the other one. Overall it has been a solid showing by the defense. The same couldn't be said of the offense as it is still struggling to find its identity. The Aggies' struggled with their passing attack early and had more success with the run game, but this win has been more about the play of the defense than the offense.
