SALT LAKE CITY – Derek Wright made a great touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter to give Utah State a commanding lead over San Jose State.
Utah State quarterback Logan Bonner threw the ball deep, allowing Derek Wright to adjust his route and sneak in front of the defensive back and caught the touchdown pass.
That gave the Aggies a 38-17 lead with 10:17 to play in the game. It’s the second touchdown grab by Wright in the game to go with three catches for 50 yards.
