Bonner was replaced at QB by Cooper Legas on the Aggies’ next drive.

At halftime, the Aggies owned a 14-10 lead. During the break, USU head coach Blake Anderson said that Bonner would be questionable for the second half.

Blake Anderson at halftime: Bonner is questionable for the second half. Tweaked the knee early and it just didn't feel stable. They'll evaluate it in the locker room. Said they're more than comfortable with Legas if needs be.

It will remain Cooper Legas time for the rest of the game
