Fresno State trails Utah State 24-17 in fourth quarter

LOGAN, Utah

Utah State scored off a blocked punt but Fresno State had a late answer to pull within 17-14 at halftime of a matchup of struggling Mountain West Conference teams Saturday night.

The Bulldogs, on fourth-and-18 from their 20 following a broken play and a sack, saw the Aggies’ Jentz Painter break through and Austin Cheney recover in the end zone with 6:22 to go in the half.

Brock Warren’s career long 43-yard field goal gave Utah State a 17-7 lead with 3:45 to go, but the Bulldogs strung together their best drive of the night to get back within a single score in the closing minutes.
