UTAH STATE AGGIES NEWS

Kyrese White - Sees 13 targets in loss White (undisclosed) gathered in 8 of 13 targets for 96 yards during Saturday's 45-29 loss to Temple.

Impact Despite being listed as questionable prior to Saturday's contest, White was busy against the Owls, hauling in eight receptions after making just two catches on five targets in his previous two games. The senior wideout looked to have some chemistry with quarterback Spencer Petras, who made his first start since Week 1. White now has 13 receptions for 242 yards and two touchdowns through four games this season.

Impact Royals left the Aggies' Week 3 matchup versus Utah with an injury, though he looked like himself Saturday, recording season highs in receptions and yardage while scoring his second touchdown of the campaign. The senior now has 25 catches for 280 yards through four games this year. Expect big things from Royals going forward with Spencer Petras back under center.

Spencer Petras - Busy in return Petras went 26-for-44 passing for 293 yards, two touchdowns and an interception during Saturday's 45-29 loss versus Temple.

Impact It was the first start for Petras since Week 1 when he left with an ankle injury. It was an up-and-down outing for the senior, who completed a pair of touchdowns before throwing an interception on Utah State's final drive. Petras' last full season came in 2022 with Iowa, where he completed 55.9 percent of his passes for 1,725 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. Petras and the Aggies will get the week off before opening conference play on the road at Boise State.

Kyrese White - Warming up pre-game White (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Utah State's clash with Temple, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact White should still be considered questionable, but it's obviously a good sign that the receiver is warming up. The dynamic senior has tallied five catches for 146 yards and two scores this season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Royals - Warming up Saturday Royals (undisclosed) is participating in pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's game at Temple, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Royals was injured during last week's loss to Utah and was considered questionable heading into Saturday's game. Him warming up is certainly a good sign for his availability, but it does not guarantee he will play. In three games this season he has caught 15 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown.

Bryson Barnes - Returns to backup role Barnes won't start against Temple on Saturday since Spencer Petras (ankle) will be under center, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Barnes started in Week 2 and Week 3, as well as replacing Petras in the season opener when he got hurt, but he'll return to a backup role with the latter being fully recovered and "100 percent healthy" following his injury. Barnes completed 57 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and four interceptions in the three appearances he's made this season.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Spencer Petras - Will start vs. Temple Petras (ankle) will be the starting quarterback for the Aggies against Temple on Saturday, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Petras missed the last two games after getting injured in the opening win over Robert Morris, but now that the ankle problem is a thing of the past, the senior signal-caller will make the 33rd start of his career. Petras' return means Bryson Barnes will return to a backup role.

SEPTEMBER 18 • DATA SKRIVE

Rahsul Faison - Tops 100 yards vs. Utah Faison logged 19 rushes for 115 yards in Saturday's 38-21 loss to Utah.

Impact Faison topped the 100-yard mark for the first time this season while seeing a season-high 19 carries in Saturday's defeat. The senior running back is up to 247 yards on 40 carries, good for 6.2 yards per attempt, through three games this season. With Robert Briggs (leg) out for the season, Faison should continue to serve as the bell cow for Utah State going forward.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Broc Lane - Grabs first touchdown Lane gathered in three targets for 42 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 38-21 defeat against Utah.

Impact Lane got Utah State on the board in the first quarter with a 20-yard touchdown grab, his first of the season, to give the Aggies an early 7-3 lead. The senior tight end has had a decent role in the passing game, hauling in 8-of-10 targets for 83 yards through three games after recording 208 yards and a touchdown on 21 receptions last season.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Royals - Listed day-to-day Royals (undisclosed) is day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game at Temple, The Aggship reports.

Impact Royals exited early in the Saturday loss against Utah, but the fact that he's day-to-day suggests he still has a chance to be available against the Owls this upcoming weekend. Royals has 15 catches for 168 yards and one touchdown across three games so far.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Kyrese White - Considered day-to-day White (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day with an injury, per The Aggship.

Impact White was quiet in Week 3 against Utah, failing to record a catch on two targets. Now, he's dealing with an undisclosed injury that's thrown his status for Week 4 into doubt. Still, the ailment shouldn't be that serious if the injury is in fact day-today, and he'll work to return to the field Saturday against Temple.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Spencer Petras - Hopeful to return this week Petras is hopeful to return this week for Utah State, per the Aggship.

Impact Petras was reportedly close to 100 percent last week, but didn't end up playing against Utah. The quarterback has missed the Aggies' last two games after a rough performance in the opener against Robert Morris. He's still working his way back from an ankle injury, but it sounds as if the gunslinger is trending in the right direction and Saturday against Temple represents an excellent chance for him to return to the field.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Hestera - Scores vs. Utah Hestera gathered in 3 of 5 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 38-21 defeat to Utah.

Impact Hestera's playing time got a boost after Jalen Royals (undisclosed) was forced out of the game in the first half. The junior wideout made the opportunity count, hauling in his first three catches this season, including a 12-yard touchdown. Hestera joined the Aggies in the offseason after posting 28 receptions for 349 yards and three scores with Charlotte last year. Hestera could see a similar workload against Temple next week if Royals remains sidelined.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Bryson Barnes - Mixed results vs. former team Barnes completed 16 of 31 passes for 223 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-21 loss to Utah. He also had 11 rushes for 36 yards and a touchdown.

Impact Making a second start in place of the injured Spencer Petras (ankle), Barnes was solid, accounting for three total scores, though a pair of first-half interceptions would prove costly against the number-12 ranked Utes. Barnes, who transferred from Utah to Utah State in the offseason, has completed 57 percent of his passes for 524 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions this season while filling in for Petras. He's added 116 rushing yards and two scores on 21 attempts. However, Barnes may soon return to backup duties -- Petras was healthy enough to dress Saturday and could be back under center in Week 4 against Temple.

Spencer Petras - Inactive against Utah Petras (ankle) did not appear during Saturday's 38-21 loss against Utah.

Impact Petras was sidelined for a second-straight game with an ankle injury as the Aggies were defeated by the Utes. The graduate transfer from Iowa was splitting reps with Bryson Barnes prior to his injury and the Utah transfer doesn't seem to have locked down the starting gig in his absence. Petras's next chance to return will come against Temple on Sept. 21, but his expected status for the contest is unknown.
