BOISE — The Utah State Aggies played in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl for the second straight year and this time they walked away with a win, only their second in school history.

The Aggies started to game slow, and it stayed that way until Chuckie Keeton scored on a 62-yard run late in the first quarter.

"Hello, Chuckie Keeton. Utah St. QB takes the option 62 yds for the first TD of the Potato Bowl. PAT puts Aggies up 7-3 on Toledo, late 1st," tweeted @EyeonCFB.

"Chuckie Keeton is an excellent ankle breaking point guard in an alternate life," tweeted @DesNewsKraig.

But after the long run from Keeton the offense went stagnant.

"Someone tell USU, just because you show up doesn't mean you get the W," tweeted @Bart_Mills.

The Aggie defense looked solid, but they started giving up yards to Toledo and let them get inside their own 10. But the defense came up big when their team needed them most.

"Whoa a tip as Toledo is looking to score lands in Fackrell's hands. First down USU at their 24 up 7," tweeted ksl.com's @JaromMoore.

Heading into the fourth quarter the score was just 13-6 with USU leading. Up to that point the game was pretty slow, with the exception of a few plays. And while Chuckie Keeton looked solid, star running back Kerwynn Williams was struggling.

Heading into the fourth quarter Williams only had 60-yards and a very costly fumble. About midway through the quarter things changed, drastically.

"REDEMPTION!" tweeted @efrandsen. "Kerwynn Williams takes it to the house! TD Aggies!"

Williams took off for a 63-yard touchdown, then he'd repeat just a few minutes later.

"Guess who?? KERWYNN WILLIAMS. Another Aggie touchdown. 34-9, 3:41 left in the game," tweeted @USUFootball.

Don't worry, he still wasn't done.

"Kerwynn Williams is ridiculous. He has 198 yards on 7 carries in just the fourth quarter," tweeted @PatEnnis82.

"Kerwynn Williams is video game good in the 4th quarter today. I feel like it was just 13-9," tweeted @JCStats.

"Kerwynn Williams about to be a millionaire," tweeted @Danny_Murko1150.

Williams had just 53-yards heading into the fourth quarter and finished with 235 yards and three touchdowns.

The Utah State Aggies completed their greatest season in school history with 11 wins, a WAC Championship and a bowl win.
