"We made a nice drive to get back in the game, then penalties struck and we couldn't sustain it. We made dumb, dumb penalties that hurt us, like mine." Arslanian was mad because he felt tight end Bucky Orton had been pulled down by two Ute defenders on a third-and-play from the Utah 20. Orton was on the turf as quarterback Jeff Crosbie's pass sailed by. As Aggie kicker Brad Bohn ran on the field to try a field goal attempt to tie the game at 21 with five minutes left in the third quarter, Arslanian unloaded on the officials, asking for an explanation. Referee Bill McCabe threw a yellow hankie at Arslanian's feet and Bohn had to kick from 52 yards; he missed wide right. Bohn, a junior, is two field goals shy of the Utah State career record, but his longest boot is a Arslanian's fuse wasn't short. Three plays earlier, Crosbie appeared to gallop 60 yards for a touchdown on a keeper play, but was ruled out of bounds at now.

Both plays happened on the Utah State side of the field. Arslanian refused to discuss either play: "I'd better not say anything. I'll have to look at the film first."
