LOGAN, Utah (AP) Malik Sherrod rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, and Fresno State rallied to beat Utah State 37-32 after blowing an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead on Friday night.

Sherrod gave Fresno State (6-1, 2-1 Mountain West Conference) the lead for good on an 11-yard run with 2:19 left to play.

Utah State (3-4, 1-2), which trailed 28-17 heading into the final quarter, used Cooper Legas' 43-yard scoring strike to Terrell Vaughn and Rahsul Faison's 24-yard touchdown run to take a 32-31 lead with 4:42 remaining.

Logan Fife completed 22 of 39 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs. Sherrod did his damage on 23 carries. Tre Watson caught five passes for 76 yards and two scores.

Fresno State put together a 14-play, 98-yard drive on its second possession, grabbing a 7-0 lead on Sherrod's 5-yard touchdown run. Utah State answered with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Legas' 29-yard touchdown pass to Royals to tie it at 7-all after one quarter.

The Bulldogs moved back in front on a 7-yard scoring toss from Fife to Watson with 2:45 left before halftime. That was enough time for Legas to fire a 52-yard scoring strike to Royals to knot the score at 14 at halftime.
