RUSTON, La. (AP) — Chuckie Keeton threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns, and Utah State beat No. 19 Louisiana Tech 48-41 in overtime on Saturday after letting a 24-point lead slip away.

Utah State scored the game-winning touchdown on a 4-yard run by Kerwynn Williams.

The Aggies (9-2, 5-0 Western Athletic Conference) clinched at least a share of the conference title with the victory. They scored on their first offensive play — an 86-yard touchdown after a screen pass from Keeton to Williams — and racked up 646 yards of total offense.

Utah State jumped out to a 27-3 lead by early in the third quarter, but Louisiana Tech (9-2, 4-1) rallied to tie the game at 41 on Matt Nelson’s 32-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.

Louisiana Tech’s Colby Cameron threw an interception late in the second quarter, snapping his NCAA-record streak of 445 pass attempts without an interception.
