Utah State vs San Jose State: Predictions, Injury Reports, How to Watch | Sports

Utah State resumes its 2025 season after a shorter-than-normal pause thanks to playing on Friday. It’s also homecoming, both with the festivities and the fact that this is the first time the Aggies are playing on Merlin Olsen Field since Sept. 20. Utah State is coming off a loss at Hawaii, though their opponent tonight, San Jose State, is also coming off a loss last Saturday at Wyoming.

Homecoming night matchup with SJSU looking like must-win for Utah State | Sports

A short week is what greets Utah State after a long and messy trip to Hawaii, both logistically and in terms of what the Aggies put on the field at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. They’ll have to pull off a quick turnaround to earn a win on homecoming night against a fiesty San Jose State team that has quite a lot in common with Utah State. The Spartans and Aggies are both coming off losses in games where victory was expected. Both were favored on the road, USU over Hawaii (-1.5) and SJSU over Wyoming. And despite holding leads in the second half (USU led 26-24, SJSU led 28-14), collapses, particularly on defense, led to defeat. And, in a twist of fate, both sides will look at this game as one they desperately need to win. Mathematically speaking, the Aggies don’t have to win this game. They could technically still accomplish most or all of their preseason goals of bowl eligibility and even a Mountain West title (though the latter would need outside help with a loss Friday). But it’s hard to see a Utah State team losing this weekend and going on to win three out of the

Notes and Coaches’ quotes from Aggie Madness event | Sports

Utah State men’s and women’s basketball put on a show for fans in the Wayne Estes Center on Monday evening with its annual Aggie Madness, aiming to build hype for the upcoming Aggie basketball season. Though the event itself lacked the basketball substance that will quench the thirst for Aggie hoops, it helps set the stage for the true appetizers coming later this month. Players from both teams participated in a small handful of events, starting with a relay race, then a 3-point shootout and dunk contest. The 3-point shootout, which featured a pair of players (one from each of the men’s and women’s teams) was won by Luke Kearney and Marina Asensio. That duo beat the pair of Brayden Boe and Andjela Marojevic in the final round. The other pairs featured Tucker Anderson/Karyn Sanford and Kolby King/Elise Livingston. The dunk contest, which featured four of the Aggie freshmen, was won by Adlan Elamin. He defeated Kingston Tosi in the final round with a dunk featuring Elamin jumping over the 6-foot-8 forward Garry Clark. 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐖. 𝐈𝐓.

Monday Cooldown — Concerns mounting for Aggies’ pass protection and pass rush | Sports

The Saturday night loss to Hawaii hit Utah State like a gut-punch. A team coming off a bye, hungry for the opportunity to prove itself more fully in Mountain West play went out and played arguably its worst game of the season. The Aggies have a lot more to figure out about themselves than perhaps previously thought. And they won’t have long before the next opponent comes calling on Friday. In a previous edition of the Monday Cooldown, a comparison was drawn between Utah State’s defense in 2025 vs the woeful 2024 unit and how worryingly close they were. Sadly, for the Aggie faithful, that comparison was solidified by the result of Saturday’s game when the Warriors put up 44 points, becoming the third team in six games to put up at least 40 on the Aggies. The result is perhaps even worse when considering the fact that the 2024 USU defense held Hawaii to 10 points. We’ll get to the defense more in a minute, but a returning issue for the Aggies was its pass protection. This was a pretty big topic of discussion in the first two weeks (and had its own sections in two even earlier editions

Sluggish Aggies fall at Hawai’i, ending eight-game win streak vs Warriors | Sports

Utah State arrived a day late to the island of O’ahu, its travel plans beign changed last-minute. That carried over into the Aggies Saturday-evening contest against Hawai’i as they couldn’t find a groove throughout the night, ultimately losing to the Warriors 44-26. The defeat ended an eight-game winning streak against Hawai’i that spanned a decade and a half. “We lost that game ourselves,” said USU running back Miles Davis. “We didn’t do a lot of stuff that our team usually do.” Hawai’i quarterback Micah Alejado threw for 413 yards and three touchdowns — all of them to Pofele Ashlock who also had 113 receiving yards on the night — with Utah State really not showing any response for essentially the entire night. The Aggies were burned on deep passes early in the game, with Alejado connecting on passes of 28, 43 and 46 yards in the first half. Then, for most of the rest of the game, he took what Utah State gave him. Short and intermediate completions were there for the taking and Alejado feasted on them. He completed 15 of 19 passes that were thrown between five and 14 yards down the field, acumulating 158 yards on those throws.

Utah State travels to Hawaii aiming to finish MW era undefeated against Warriors | Sports

In the 13 years Utah State has been part of the Mountain West, it has never lost to Hawaii. The Aggies’ eight-game winning streak against the Warriors (which dates back to when both teams were in the WAC) will be put to a final test Saturday evening in what is also a crucial mid-season matchup between a pair of teams aiming to prove they can be contenders in the Mountain West. Hawaii enters the game with a 4-2 record but not as much respect as a team with four wins might hope. The Warriors are the lowest-ranked four-win team by Bill Connelly’s SP+, being ranked behind no less than seven teams that have four losses on the season so far, including an Air Force team Hawaii beat not quite two weeks ago. Utah State meanwhile, has clawed back a bit more of the respect it had lost after a few mediocre/bad season the last few years. The Aggies have made the second-biggest jump in KFord rating of any Mountain West team and the 11th-best jump of any FBS team. And yet, both teams sit in an in-between space on the conference hierarchy, above teams that are looking like bottom-feeders but below

Aggies Extend Winning Streak with 3-1 Win at Wyoming | Sports

LOGAN, Utah – In another match against a fellow team unbeaten in Mountain West play, Utah State volleyball seemed headed for a difficult test following the first set. The Aggies, however, rebounded in spectacular finish to claim the next three sets to defeat Wyoming, 3-1 (18-25, 25-17, 25-16, 25-15) on Thursday night at the UniWyo Sports Complex. USU has now won six-straight matches. Set One The Cowgirls, who entered the match with a 4-0 record in MW play, took control of the opening set midway through the frame after both sides traded early runs. A 10-2 Wyoming burst proved too big a deficit to overcome as the Aggies managed to draw back within five points before a pair of Cowgirl points sealed the win for the home team to open the match.  Set Two Wyoming’s momentum was swiftly halted, however, as the Aggies jumped out of the gates with a 5-1 run early in the second frame. The Aggie defense came alive with a solo block by redshirt freshman middle blocker Lauren Larkin while sophomore outside hitter Andrea Simovski kickstarted the offense with a pair of kills. USU did not relent as a 9-2 run firmly entrenched the Aggies in the

Tess Werts’ Historic Night Leads Aggies to 7-1 Win over Fresno State | Sports

LOGAN, Utah — Utah State soccer (5-5-4, 2-1-2 MW) posted a dominant 7-1 win over Fresno State Thursday night at Chuck & Gloria Bell Field, sparked by a historic performance by senior forward Tess Werts who set a USU program record and tied a Mountain West Conference record with four goals in the contest.    Werts, the team’s leading scorer in 2024, entered the night leading USU in shots but without a goal this season. She then became the first Aggie to ever score four goals in a game, netting goals in the 25th, 27th, 59th and 67th minutes. Utah State also matched a program record for assists in a game, with eight total assists coming on the seven goals, while setting a program record for goals in a Mountain West game.    Along with Werts’ big performance, graduate midfielder Rine Yonaha had a career night as she totaled five points on two goals and an assist. Yonaha scored the team’s opening goal of the night in the 13th minute, a penalty kick following a foul in the box, then a second set piece goal in the 79th minute when she scored on a free kick from 20 yards out.
