NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The Vanderbilt Commodores may end the season as Utah State football’s best opponent in 2025. As such, it’s unwise to dwell on most of the Aggies’ shortcomings in a 55-35 loss.

The offensive line was overwhelmed entirely as its depth was tested, leading to constant pressure in the backfield for Bryson Barnes. Defensively, a dearth of a pass rush hung the linebackers and secondary out to dry against dual-threat QB Diego Pavia.

“I love my football team,” Bronco Mendenhall began the postgame press conference. “(I’m) encouraged by the way they battled. Plenty of things that I could help them prepare for at a higher level so they can execute more consistently throughout.”
