Keeton harassed by new Vols defensive front
Quote:
 
Keeton rushed eight times for only 12 yards, and he was 18-of-35 passing for 144 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
The Aggies like to throw the ball deeper than they showed last night. However, we were getting pressure on Keeton and would not allow him to set up long enough to find the intermediate and deeper routes.

Barnett set the tone for Keeton's rough night by stuffing him for no gain on Utah State's second possession. The stop by Barnett occurred after the Volunteers had produced a 14-point outburst in the span of 14 seconds, but the Aggies showed signs of moving the ball early in the second quarter.

A 9-yard pass by Keeton gave the Aggies a third-and-1 from their 43-yard line, but a run by Joe Hill was stuffed for no gain by Barnett and linebacker A.J. Johnson. Utah State elected to go for it on fourth down, but Hill was thrown for a 1-yard loss by Williams.

Jones said that sequence flipped the momentum as well as field position, and it didn't hurt the confidence of a bunch of new starters hoping to make an impact.
That 3rd and 4th down stop really fired up the defense and set the tone for their play, the rest of the game. When was the last time that our defense made two huge stops like that? How about even one?
