Quarterback Ryan Colburn threw a touchdown pass and ran for another one to tie up the score at halftime against the Utah State Aggies.

Kicker Kevin Goessling added a field goal in between the touchdowns to even up the score, 17-17.

With the absence of running back Robbie Rouse and receiver Devon Wylie, sophomore tailback A.J. Ellis and true freshman receiver Jalen Saunders have filled in for the injured players.

Ellis has gained 55 yards on eight carries with a long of 39 and Saunders has a catch for five yards.
