The last time Utah played Utah State, it was an expected easy win as the Utes cruised to a 35-17 victory and the Aggies had their typical losing season, finishing (4-8). That was just two years ago but things have changed in Logan. Gary Anderson, the defensive coordinator for Utah's undefeated 2008 team, has built the Aggies into a winning team that can not only compete with, but win against successful programs. Last year the Aggies made it to their first bowl game in over 10 years and finished with a (7-6) record. They would have fished even higher if they could have held onto 4th quarter leads against Auburn, BYU, Colorado State and Ohio.
The Aggies are a much, much better football team than Ute fans are used to. They opened the season with a dominant 34-3 victory over Southern Utah. One week into the season they rank No. 13 in the country in total offense with 581 yards gained in their opener.
