The Aggies started their next drive at their own 6-yard line after a Stephenson punt. The Aggies were starting to drive when Cougar linebacker Uani Unga sacked Keeton for a nine-yard loss, which eventually forced USU to punt with a little more than two minutes remaining.
But the Aggies never got the ball back.
With 1:50 remaining in the game, the Cougars faced third-and-6 at their own 28, when Williams — who finished with 71 yards on 17 carries — took a pitch from Hill, raced toward the sideline. He picked up 11 yards to earn a huge first down, enabling BYU to run out the clock.
The Cougars host No. 14 Oregon State next Saturday (1:30 p.m., MT, ABC) while Utah State visits San Jose State.

Good job Cougs!!! Judging from all the comments before the game I think they should rename this game....."BYU vs Utah St/Utah." or "BYU vs the rest of Utah." hahaha. Haters gonna hate.
Where is our offense? Where is our kicking game? If we had any kind of both, this would have been a blow out. With 30,000 students, don't you think you can find at least one who can kick it through the up-rights? Seriously, we need to hold More..
Good game BYU. However, I do see a shift happening similar to what happened with BYU and Utah in the early 90s when Ron MacBride took over. There are no more BYU blowouts of USU. USU is still a program on the rise. Frankly, aside from BYU's More..
