LOGAN, Utah – Logan Bonner found Justin McGriff for the Utah State Aggies’ first touchdown against the BYU Cougars.

The Aggies hosted the Cougars at Maverik Stadium on Friday, October 1.

With 6:08 left in the first half and on 3rd & 15 from the BYU 21-yard line, Bonner bought time in the pocket before scrambling to the far side of the field.

After biding time, the USU quarterback found an open McGriff near the goal line. McGriff hauled in a 21-yard catch to give the Aggies their first touchdown of the game.

The Bonner-to-McGriff connection cut BYU’s lead to 17-10.

The touchdown capped an 18-play, 75-yard drive that took 7:34 off the clock.

After the touchdown toss, Bonner was 8/14 passing for 103 yards, one touchdown, and an interception.

It was McGriff’s first catch of the contest.

BYU vs. Utah State is broadcast on CBS Sports Network, KSL NewsRadio 102.7 FM and 1160 AM, and The Zone Sports Network 1280 AM.
