TUCSON, Ariz. — The opportunity was there, in front of Utah State as pretty as a picture but as ugly as a theft.
The USU Aggies’ 26-20 loss to New Mexico State came compliments of a host of lost opportunities. The last one came in overtime, when Dominik Eberle’s 29-yard field goal attempt hit the right upright, for his fourth miss of the night.
Overall he made two field goals that kept USU from falling behind, but he missed four others. He hit tries of 35 yards and 30, but missed two tries from 48 yards and one of 44, as well as the overtime attempt.
