Utah State football dropped to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in Mountain West play after a 33-14 loss at New Mexico on Saturday afternoon. The Lobos opened scoring with a punt return touchdown and built an early 16-0 lead after a safety and an interception derailed the Aggies' initial drives. Utah State found the end zone before halftime on a 64-yard touchdown run by senior running back Miles Davis, who finished with a game-high 110 rushing yards and one score. Quarterback Bryson Barnes finished with 164 yards passing and threw a 13-yard touchdown to wide receiver Braden Pegan in the second half, but the Lobos secured the victory by converting a fake punt and scoring late to maintain their comfortable lead. The Aggies return home to host Nevada on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 5:30 p.m. Hear postgame analysis, along with comments from the coach, players and fans.

In this episode, Casey sits down with Chris Crittenden, entrepreneur, educator, and co-founder of Sandbox, for a conversation on courage, innovation, and rethinking what education should be. From selling a startup to Walmart to leading at BYU and now building Sandbox into a movement across multiple universities, Chris shares why closing doors and going deep often leads to the greatest returns.He and Casey explore the flaws of traditional higher education, the trap of chasing prestige, and the power of learning by doing. Chris outlines how Sandbox is equipping students to launch real companies while reshaping themselves in the process. Their discussion dives into resilience, resourcefulness, and why the greatest opportunities often lie off the beaten path.This episode is both a critique of the old system and a vision for a new one, where students learn through building, failure is embraced as part of the process, and desire becomes the ultimate differentiator.What you'll learnHow traditional higher ed's incentives produce shallow learning—and how changing the “soil” unlocks genuine growth. The launch of the Sandbox Fellowship: a 12-month, accredited master's built around one job—build a company. The “neobank for universities” model: partnering with New Mexico Highlands University to innovate on top of accredited infrastructure. Why desire beats pedigree for founders, and how door-to-door grit translates into startup success.
