One of the nation's longest rivalries continues when the University of Utah plays Utah State tonight. It hasn't felt like a rivalry lately however, as Utah has won 23 of the last 28 games and comes into this game as a 24 point favorite. That said, you can expect the Aggies to play nothing to lose as new coach Brent Guy looks to shake things up for Utah State.
Utah State was supposed to be playing their second game of the season against Utah. However, due to Hurricane Katrina, Nicholls State was unable to make it Logan and the game was cancelled. This could play in Aggies favor as the Utes have no game film to review on either this year's Aggies or how they might play with their new coach. However, on the flip side the Aggies will have to deal with all those first game jitters while facing a very explosive Utah team. As a result, I expect Utah to hang a couple of early touchdowns on the Aggies and force them to mature in a hurry. The Aggies have a young line backers and that is one position that can bury you against Utah's spread offense. I look for Ganther and QB Johnson to have good nights for the Utes and for the score to be something like 42-17.
