LOGAN — College football returned to Cache Valley on Saturday. But the Utah State Aggies seemed hesitant to participate in the season-opening festivities. The hosts sleep-walked through the evening, earning a 29-17 defeat at the hands of Idaho State. Source link

Utah State’s college football season begins this week with its home opener against Idaho State on Merlin Olsen Field. With months of anticipation, analysis, and waiting soon to be in the rearview mirror, there’s only a little time left to cement our (certain to be wrong) preseason predictions for Utah State football. These predictions come from Full Court Press co-hosts Eric Frandsen and Jason Walker. We’ll give a win/loss prediction for each of the 12 regular-season games, including a prediction on who the Aggies will play in the flex game and whether they’ll win against the chosen opponent. In addition to predicting a win or loss, we’ll also offer a scaling descriptor on how close that win or loss will be. Three tiers of win or loss: a blowout, decisive, or close. This isn’t meant to be an exact score prediction, mainly a way to offer more insight as to how we feel about each of these games. So, here we go. Game 1 – vs Idaho State Date: Sept. 5 (Sat) Location: Merlin Olsen Field (Logan, UT) Kickoff Time: 5 p.m. Jason’s Prediction: Decisive Win by Utah State There are hints of this game potentially being a close one.
