Mendenhall on the two critical pass interference calls: “I’d be okay if I thought they were pass interference but I didn’t think either one was.”

Mendenhall says Texas State “maximized the substitution match” on the delay of game at the end of the game

Mendenhall says Eli Wood is limited with an injury, which allowed Utah State to involve Anthony Garcia more. Unclear why only one receiver can be involved at a time

Two weeks to address the offense and it produces less against what was the No. 115 scoring defense than it did nearly a month ago at Boise State. I just don’t know what this staff’s goal is with that side of the ball right now

Maybe the delay of game penalty wouldn't have ended up mattering, maybe he misses a 43-yarder too, but man is that a penalty Utah State would like to have back. You just cannot have so many procedural issues a year and a half into a tenure, and it's something new every week

Afrhookteh's 48-yard field goal try misses to the left, and Utah State falls three points short at Texas State, 20-17. The Aggies drop to 2-5 (1-2) on the season with Colorado State coming to town next Saturday

Anthony Garcia with a crazy catch, but he's out of bounds, and it'll be a 47-yard field goal try for Kian Afrookhteh to potentially send this one to overtime

Utah State takes its last timeout with 17 seconds on the clock after an unfortunate first-and-10 2-yard completion that stayed inbounds

That didn't look good right up until it did, Brosterhous finds Garcia to move the chains on fourth-and-6

Brosterhous had all the time in the world on third down, but couldn't connect with Anthony Garcia, and it'll be fourth-and-6 for the game from the USU 44 with 1:12 to play

Utah State buckles down to get a stop after the third-and-long pass interference extended this Texas State drive. Bobcats have to settle for a field goal, and Utah State has 1:56 to tie or win it trailing 20-17

That’s a brutal spot for that pass interference call. Not totally sure it was catchable, and not sure there was all that much contact either

I think Utah State should have Robert Anae call plays from increasingly unconventional places. We’ve seen the press box and the sidelines, but how about the concessions stand?

Brosterhous rolls out to hit Javen Jacobs in the flats on the two-point try, and we're all square in San Marcos with 8:07 to play, 17-17. What a strange game this has been.

It took half of the season, but Utah State has finally remembered that it has Anthony Garcia. Receptions of 8 and 17 yards on a drive that he caps with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Kaina Watson. The Aggies are within two of the lead, 17-15, with 8:07 to play

Texas State's 51-yard field goal is, bafflingly, good. The Bobcats have had a ton of kicking troubles this year, but they knock this one through to take a 17-9 lead with 13:19 to play

Three quarters down, and Utah State really needs anything at all from its offense in this final frame. The Aggie defense is doing everything it can to keep this one within striking distance, but Utah State's offense has not functioned since the first quarter ended, trailing 14-9

Utah State's first four drives vs its next four drives. It's not like the Aggies were world-beaters on offense to start. But they at least moved the ball and got first downs. Not so much lately.

Utah State steps up for another stop right around the edge of scoring territory, and will give its offense another chance starting from its own 12 trailing by five, 14-9

Texas State breaks through Utah State's defense for an opening drive touchdown to start this second half. Brad Jackson keeps it himself for the 3-yard score to make it 14-9 Bobcats
