Game Notes

No notes for this game.

Selected as another game to be televised regionally by ABC, the game looked like it might be a repeat of the 1977 contest in Logan-a 65-6 rout featuring BYU's Gifford Nielsen. But to the surprise of the viewers, the Aggies totally dominated the game from start to finish. A very smooth, calculating machine, they rolled up a 21-0 lead at the half, mostly on the passing of quarterback Eric Hipple. The Cougars, with perhaps their weakest passing performance in many games, gained only 119 yards through the air. Considering what was expected of both teams, especially after the game the year before in Logan, the contest was a major upset. The Cougars were stunned by the loss, even though it did not affect the club's standing in the conference race. "Utah State is the best team we've faced so far this season," said Coach LaVell Edwards at the end of the game. Offensive lineman Nick Eyre was injured in the game and was lost for three games. BYU now 3-2.
