Utah State football: Blocked punt sparked Aggies' win over Fresno

Logan • Utah State coach Matt Wells has been waiting all season for his special teams to win a football game.

It finally happened.

The Aggies snapped a three-game losing streak late Saturday night with a 38-20 victory over Fresno State at Maverik Stadium.

The key play?

A blocked punt.

Utah State was locked in a 7-7 tie with Fresno midway through the second quarter. The crowd of 15,067 was uneasy, knowing the Aggies had come up just short in consecutive losses to Air Force (27-20), Boise State (21-10) and Colorado State (31-24).
