LOGAN — Utah State started off Mountain West Conference play on the right foot as it defeated Air Force 42-32.
Aggie quarterback Jordan Love lit up the Falcons' defense as he finished the night completing 26 of 38 for 356 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Ron'quavion Tarver proved why he was a preseason All-Mountain West selection with nine catches for 128 yards. Tight end Dax Raymond had a 30-yard TD catch, while Aaren Vaughns took a 43-yard reception to the house.
Love fumbled the football at the Utah State 26-yard line with 2:46 left in the first half, but the Aggies proved how well they can respond to adversity.
