Utah State football: USU fumbles, Air Force wins Mountain West opener

An illegal receiver downfield call negated a 13-yard gain on first down. An illegal formation penalty two plays letter wiped out a 25-yard run by Myers.

On third-and-12 from the 21, Myers was sacked and fumbled. Air Force recovered and the call held up after a review, giving the Falcons the ball at the Utah State 13.

Air Force quickly converted the turnover into Jacobi Owens' one-yard touchdown, making it an impossible two-score game for the Aggies -- even before a Falcon field goal with 2:59 remaining and a Utah State touchdown with 32 seconds left.

After a back-and-forth first half, Air Force owned a 17-10 lead.
