Time to start wondering what Utah State's quarterbacks did in the offseason to bring themselves so much bad karma. First Chuckie Keeton, then Darell Garretson and now Craig Harrison have all left games prematurely due to injuries.

Harrison, who was injured at the end of the third quarter Saturday, left the field on crutches, accompanied by Keeton. It was an image that symbolizes the struggles the Aggies' offense has faced this season.

Kudos to the team for coming together and getting the win as Nick Vigil, Joe Hill, Hunter Sharp, JoJo Natson and Travis Seefeldt all made big plays. It was a nice, complete team win.

Nevertheless, the celebration will be short-lived, as the Aggies apparently will continue to have to make adjustments at quarterback. Kent Myers, a freshman the Aggies had hoped to redshirt, could be the starter going forward if Harrison's injury is as serious as it sounds.

Harrison will have an MRI, but coach Matt Wells said he expected him to be out for a while.

"It doesn't look good," he said.

Some would say the Aggies' future doesn't look good either, but have faith in the defense. Wells challenged the defense to play at a championship level Saturday and they came through remarkably well.

Just as we said last week, the Aggies should be able to win their next four games if the defense continues to play well. That leaves the Boise State game as the finale, and by then Myers (or whoever is the quarterback at that point) should have good control over the offense.

In the post-game news conference Saturday, Wells said he had never seen anything like the current run of injuries to quarterbacks, then moments later characterized the challenges as fun.

"We'll keep rallying," he said.

At this point, that is all the Aggies can do.
