It’s finally here. After months of it nearly being done, Utah State has finally released its 11-game non-conference schedule plus two preseason exhibition games. The Aggies’ season will unofficially begin on Oct. 18 with a home exhibition contest against Seattle. Utah State will play a second exhibition at San Francisco on Oct. 25. Utah State’s official season opener will be on Nov. 3, a home game against a non-D1 opponent, Westminster. Following that will be the first major test of the season, a neutral-site matchup with VCU in Frisco, Texas. The _ went 28-7 last year and finished 31st in the NET rankings. Other highlights of USU’s non-conference schedule include participation in the Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic where the Aggies will be in a four-team bracket, facing Tulane on Nov. 21 and then either Boston College or Davidson depending on the results of the two games (winners play each other, losers face each other). Utah State will play in the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Dec. 13, taking on Illinois State. And in the middle of conference play on Feb. 14, the Aggies will host Memphis. Here is the full slate of non-conference games. Oct. 18 vs Seattle
