The Utah State Aggies 3 – 8 record from last season is a bit deceiving. It includes a number of close losses that could have easily become wins. So it's not surprising that head coach Brent Guy has high hopes for his second season. He also knows that the Aggies must win more Western Athletic Conference games for the program to grow. The team returns 13 starters, and most are key players from 2005.
The Aggies are an improved team from last season. But four difficult non conference games, including three on the road, and tough league road trips to Nevada and Boise State, make it difficult for this team to show much progress this season.
Bet on the Utah State Aggies here.
Quarterback Leon Jackson is back to run the offense, and Junior College transfer Marcus Cross is on board to upgrade the Utah State Aggies ground attack, which ranked 92nd a year ago. Both will have a large, seasoned offensive line in front of them. The line will also allow both wide receivers Kevin Robinson and Tony Pennyman to get open. Look for a big increase in production from this unit.
On defense, the Aggies are very inexperienced, with only three seniors for the projected two deep. But the Utah State Aggies were in the top half of the league in most statistical categories last year. The line backer corps is thin but they have depth up front and in the secondary.
