Leads Aggies to comeback win
Legas was 11-for-13 passing for 204 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 34-33 victory over Connecticut. He also had six rushes for 26 yards.
ANALYSIS
After McCae Hillstead (undisclosed) left the game with an injury in the third quarter, Legas entered with the Aggies down 17-7. The senior quarterback immediately completed a 15-yard touchdown to Jalen Royals before leading Utah State to a 34-33 comeback victory, totaling three scores and over 200 yards in the second half. After struggling early in the season, Legas was replaced by the freshman Hillstead midway through a Week 3 loss to Air Force. However, Legas' performance against UConn may have earned him another shot at the starting job, even if Hillstead is cleared to play next week against Colorado State.
