Tucson, Ariz. • Utah State’s first offensive play of overtime developed nicely. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Love launched a pass into the back-right corner of the end zone, where USU receiver Braelon Roberts waited to catch the ball.
So did a third-down incompletion in the end zone in overtime, soon after Love’s connection with Roberts moved his team to the 10-yard line. USU went 1 of 18 in third-down conversions, even while Love passed for 254 yards and the offense totaled 441 yards.
Somehow, the offense turned that production into only 13 points, after Savon Scarver’s kickoff return gave USU an early touchdown.
