The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Week Five

Week five showcased some impressive showings, and we got a realistic idea of who the true contenders for a conference championship are. We also saw some headscratching performances from teams that were supposed to contend this season. Let’s take a look at the good, bad, and ugly performances from week five.

The Good

Utah State

The Aggies narrowly land in the “Good” category after squeaking out a 34-33 victory over UCONN. Ike Larsen blocked a late PAT attempt which helped the Aggies avoid overtime. Cooper Legas entered the game in relief of McCae Hillstead and led a miraculous come from behind victory for an Aggie team that continues to play its best football in the second half.
