QB Logan Bonner comes up big when it matters most — LA Bowl 2021 will be no different

Logan Bonner, the transfer quarterback who followed Blake Anderson to Logan, Utah from Arkansas State, has been streaky this season.

He’s had several games where he threw for around 150 yards and then he’s had games in which he’s thrown for 350+ yards.

The junior, despite the hot-cold streaks, finished the year with 3,560 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

When the game is on the line and it’s a one-possession game, Bonner has stepped up to get the job done. Utah State won four games by four points or fewer during the 2021 regular season.

On the biggest stage of the season, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Bonner and the Aggies will step up and defeat Oregon State.

The Beavers have not been to a bowl game since 2013 and will buckle under the bright lights and an experienced opponent.
