“The coaches put us in good position to make plays all night long,” said Aggie quarterback Miles Hastings, who turned in his fifth straight lights-out performance by hitting 16 of 19 passes for 206 yards.
“The offensive line did a great job of opening holes for our run game and when I did drop back, they gave me a lot of time to throw,” Hastings added. “I’m happy to hand the ball off when we can run like that.”
“The fast start really helps, but we’re a good football team and we expect to start that way,” said Aggie head coach Dan Hawkins.
“We’ve been on a five-game playoff run with one more to go, so we have to win it to stay in it. But it’s not really so much about winning as it is about playing well and that’s what we did tonight. We were very efficient on offense and we didn’t turn the ball over. Any time you can do that, you’re going to be successful.”
“We knew they had been a strong second-half team,” Hawkins said of the Vandals. “We knew it, but we didn’t do anything about it. For a while there in the third quarter they were blowing through us pretty good, but then our score knocked them off schedule a bit.”
