Random updates & thoughts from wherever I'm told to go. Don't look for a common thread!

Why is Loving playing Jal again in the first round of the 2A football playoffs? Jal won 56-8 three weeks ago. Just give #10 Loving a worse seed and have the Falcons play at Newcomb. At least we won't know what's about to happen.

I fashioned a long poking device for a button that's out-of-reach. I've been told this is the epitome of laziness. Oh no...I've been much lazier than this. @KSLMichele

Lobos' Patrick Peek jars bar loose, Evahelotu Tohi scoops it up & goes in from 18 yards out for touchdown. Utah State up 61-19 now.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Gonna go to Logan eatery El Toro Viejo after the game to see if they have a picture of Utah State backup running back Eltoro Allen up. Lobos stop Allen at goal line, but USU gets another FG for 61-13 lead in third.

Coltin Gerhart in at QB, Lobos score on a 9-yard TD pass to Brayden Dickey. USU 58, UNM 13 in 3rd Q.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

At least it's not as rare as 44-4, I imagine...

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

A score you don't see too often...55-5. Utah State adds to lead with Dominik Eberle FG following interception of UNM QB Sheriron Jones.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Stupid bug, ruining my view of the scoreboard. Or is it what's on the scoreboard that's ugly?

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Another Peanuts reference forthcoming. Halftime score: Utah State 52, New Mexico 5. Blech.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Botched exchange by Utah State in own end zone results in a safety. USU 49, New Mexico 5 with 2:28 left in the second quarter.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Utah State student section has taken to cheering little kid that runs out to retrieve tee after kickoff. He's had a lot of practice today. USU 49, UNM 3 after Jordan Love TD run. 5:21/2

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Is it okay to quote Charlie Brown? Good Grief. Utah State goes up 42-3 on 19-yard TD pass to tight end Dax Raymond. 11:33 still left in the second.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

It's just pitch-and-catch for Utah State. A 29-yard TD pass Jordan Love-to-Carson Terrell puts Aggies up 35-3. 14:07/2

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Here's the first-quarter damage for the Lobos' defense: Utah State QB Jordan Love has 200 yards even passing, 103 to wideout Ron'quavion Tarver. That's one quarter.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

That was a three-play drive for USU. Aggies up 28-3, 58 seconds left in the first, after 28 yard TD pass from Jordan Love to Ron'quavion Tarver. UNM could use a long drive...

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Aggies race downfield for another TD. 17-yard pass Jordan-to-Jordan (Love-to-Nathan)...Utah State 21, New Mexico 3 2:21/1.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Lobos' offense was clicking, until...100-yard interception return by Utah State's Shaq Bond. Aggies go up 14-3 with 6:33 left in 1st quarter.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Retaliation comes quick by Utah State...87-yard drive, only 2:12 off the clock, capped by 3-yard run from Darwin Thompson. USU 7, UNM 3 10:18/1

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Shelley's boot was the second-longest field goal in UNM history.

[Eric Butler @TheSundryButler]

Nice start for the Lobos...53-yard FG by Andrew Shelley for 3-0 lead. 12:40/1
