Why you should back Utah State
Despite their recent woes, the Aggies have played very well against the Rebels over their history and are 6-0 at home against this Mountain West foe. They also got their solo victory this season at home in Week 1, and they are hosting a team that could be raw on the heels of an overtime loss.
The key for Utah State on Friday will be whether quarterback Spencer Petras can offset the holes on defense. The Iowa transfer threw for 372 yards with three touchdowns in Week 6, but Utah State’s defense allowed 62 points to Boise State. If Petras has another solid game, the Aggies could be able to keep Friday’s game within the number. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back UNLV
The Rebels are expected to rebound after their disappointing loss in Week 6 since they will be going up against a weak Utah State defense. New quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams has been very impressive through two starts for UNLV, passing for 409 yards with eight touchdowns and an additional 172 rushing yards over that span.
Williams’ success has helped create a connection with wide receiver Ricky White III, who has 262 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the last two games. Jai’Den Thomas has helped UNLV move the ball on the ground and should be effective against a Utah State defense that allowed Boise State to score 62 points in Week 6. See who to back at SportsLine.
