Series: Boise State has dominated the all-time head-to-head matchup between the two teams, as it holds an 18-5 record against Utah State. The Aggies last beat the Broncos in 2015 and are riding a three-game losing streak against their conference foe. This is the 10th time Utah State will face Boise State when it is ranked. The Aggies are 1-8 in the nine previous such meetings.
THE STAKES
For Utah State: With a win, the Aggies would be tied with the Broncos atop the Mountain West Conference’s Mountain Division heading into the final week of the season and have the tiebreaker. If the 8-2 Air Force Falcons beat the 2-8 New Mexico Lobos, there would be a three-way tie atop the division should Utah State win.
For Boise State: If the Broncos win Saturday, they would clinch the division crown.
THE TRENDS
For Utah State: After two consecutive losses to Air Force and BYU, the Aggies have won two straight games. Will they go back in the losing column or pick up their third straight win Saturday?
For Boise State: The Broncos have won three straight games after losing to BYU, a defeat which came following six straight Boise State victories to open the season.
NEXT UP
The Broncos will conclude their regular season next Friday on the road against the Colorado State Rams, and the Aggies will end theirs next Saturday on the road versus New Mexico.
