LOGAN, Utah – Utah State Athletics will hold the Aggie Remembrance Ceremony on Friday, Oct. 22, prior to the Aggies’ Homecoming game against Colorado State. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m., at the Merlin Olsen Statue on the southeast concourse of Maverik Stadium. Following brief comments from team chaplain Josh Longorio and Phil Olsen, who played football at Utah State from 1967-69, those assembled will participate in the Aggie Roll Call. The roll call is when someone in the audience calls out the name of an Aggie who has passed on. The short program will last roughly 15 minutes. The Aggie Remembrance Ceremony was first held in 2011 and has continued to gain popularity ever since. Utah State (4-2, 2-1 Mountain West) and CSU (3-3, 2-0) are slated to kick off at 7:30 p.m., on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network (Xfinity Ch. 269/753HD), DISH Ch. 158, DirecTV Ch. 221). Utah State is 55-33-2 (.622) all-time in Homecoming games, which includes a 9-5-1 record against Colorado State. In fact, the Rams are the Aggies’ most played opponent during Homecoming.

Division standings are on the line as Colorado State brings its two-game win streak into Utah State territory for a homecoming game Friday night. Race for the top of the Mountain Division Utah State football has led at halftime in zero of its six games so far this season. Going into the fourth quarter, the Aggies have led once. Yet, the team is 4-2 overall and 2-1 in conference play. Air Force beat Boise State Saturday night, which means that the only team to beat USU in conference play now has more conference losses than Utah State. That is huge for USU’s chances moving forward, because the Aggies once again control their own destiny. Still, it doesn’t mean too much with a half of a season of football to be played if the winning doesn’t continue. Colorado State comes to Logan with a 3-3 record, but in conference are 2-0. Whichever team wins Friday night will at least have a temporary seat atop the Mountain Division. Current Mountain Division standings: School – Conference Record – Overall Record Colorado State 2-0 3-3

This is the first time this season and in their respective careers that Bond and Thompkins have won the MW Weekly award. Overall, these are Utah State’s fourth and fifth weekly honors of the season, and its 38th and 39th in its ninth season in the league. In the Aggies’ 28-24 come-from-behind victory against the Rebels at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Bond had a career-high two interceptions and a team-best nine tackles, including 0.5 tackles for loss, to help Utah State open the season 3-0 on the road for the first time since 1978. The Aggies have now come from behind to win all four of their games this season, including rallying in the fourth quarter in all three of their road wins. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Bond also forced his first fumble of the season in the first quarter against the Rebels at Allegiant
