Utah State's defense and special teams stepped up in a big way as the Aggies escaped Wyoming in Laramie 24-16.
Senior safety Jontrell Rocquemore delivered for the Aggie defense with a hand in two turnovers. Rocquemore forced a fumble that Adewale Adeoye recovered in the first half. However, his big play of the game came on Wyoming's opening drive of the second half as he picked off Tyler Vander Waal and returned it 20 yards to the Cowboys 3-yard line. Darwin Thompson would pick up his second touchdown of the day just one play later.
Savon Scarver added his second kickoff returned for a touchdown this season as he went 99-yards to the house.
