However, with the rise of the full moon, the Aggies took control of the game and made the most miraculous comeback in Aggie Sports history.
After going down 17-0 in the 2nd quarter, the Aggies rallied. The defense was tougher than nails. The offense played as good in the clutch as they have ever played. Then with 8 seconds left in the game, the Aggies did the unthinkable. They took the lead for the first time against a Pac-10 opponent.
