It’s also the second straight year the Aggies have lost by 20-plus points in a bowl game. That’s the reality after USU lost 45-22 to Georgia State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Saturday afternoon. Utah State seemingly had more momentum going into the bowl game, with lots of positive vibes from key players opting back in for the 2024 season and some quality recruits committing to the Aggies. That, and the fact Georgia State entered the game on a five-game losing streak and had lost a lot of star players to the transfer portal or guys opting to focus on preparing for the NFL Draft. Despite that, the Panthers were clearly the team more ready for this game, flying out to a hot start on offense and quickly adjusting on defense. Georgia State’s hot start on offense

(AP Photo/Young Kwak, File) Oregon State and Washington State announced Thursday they have reached an agreement in principle with 10 departing Pac-12 schools on revenue distribution for 2023-24 that ends a legal battle sparked by conference realignment. Last week, Oregon State and Washington State were given control of the Pac-12 and assets when the state Supreme Court of Washington declined to review a lower court’s decision to grant the schools a preliminary injunction. Financial terms of the settlement were not released, but in a joint statement Washington State and Oregon State said the departing members will forfeit a portion of distributions for this school year and guarantees to cover a specific portion of “potential future liabilities.” “This agreement ensures that the future of the Pac-12 will be decided by the schools that are staying, not those that are leaving.

In-depth look at Utah State’s bowl opponent, Georgia State – Cache Valley Daily

Georgia State quarterback Darren Grainger, center front, reacts after his team turned the ball over on downs with an incomplete pass on fourth down against LSU during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Baton Rouge, La., Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023. (AP Photo/Matthew Hinton) In just under two weeks, Utah State will face off against Georgia State for the first time in program history. Here’s a longform breakdown of Georgia State’s history and how this season has gone for the Panthers. Georgia State’s football program is very young, dating back only to 2010. The Panthers began exploring the feasibility of a football program in the mid-2000s, officially announcing their intentions to field a Division I football team on April 17, 2008. Two years later in 2010, Georgia State played its inaugural season at the FCS level and in 2013 made the move to FBS, joining the Sun Belt Conference. The early goings of Georgia State’s history were, to put it mildly, rough. The first FBS season for the Panthers resulted in an 0-12 season followed up by an only slightly better 1-11 campaign in 2014. It wasn’t until 2015, the program’s third year at the FBS level,

Ike Larsen, Jalen Royals, other Aggie stars confirm their return to Utah State – Cache Valley Daily

Just a few days before the official opening of the transfer portal, several Utah State football players, including recent First Team All-Mountain West selections Ike Larsen and Jalen Royals, took to social media to announce they will remain Aggies and look to build off the 6-6 regular season they just completed. The “run it back” charge kicked off with linebacker Anthony Switzer, who teased the announcement that he would stay on Thursday before releasing a social media post confirming his return on Friday. To Aggie Nation💙 pic.twitter.com/toz67HdmAg — Anthony “BuckO” Switzer (@Switzer1k) December 1, 2023 Switzer had heavily hinted at this fact earlier on Nov. 25 when he said on social media: “We’re staying put and we’re going to build a great program.” Running back Rahsul Faison reposted that message with simply a “shout out” emoji as commentary, presumably echoing the sentiment of wanting to stay put. A little under two hours after Switzer made his return official, Royals followed suit with an announcement of his own. Soon after, another Aggie running back, Davon Booth, joined the run-it-back party with a post of his own.
