Why you should back Utah State
Despite their recent woes, the Aggies have played very well against the Rebels over their history and are 6-0 at home against this Mountain West foe. They also got their solo victory this season at home in Week 1, and they are hosting a team that could be raw on the heels of an overtime loss.
The key for Utah State on Friday will be whether quarterback Spencer Petras can offset the holes on defense. The Iowa transfer threw for 372 yards with three touchdowns in Week 6, but Utah State’s defense allowed 62 points to Boise State. If Petras has another solid game, the Aggies could be able to keep Friday’s game close. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back UNLV
While they dropped a close game to the Orange in Week 6, the Rebels’ offense has looked solid over the last two weeks with Hajj-Malik Williams under center. The senior quarterback has combined for 409 passing yards and eight touchdowns with an additional 172 yards on the ground over that span.
Williams’ emergence has also put a spotlight on wide receiver Ricky White III, who has logged over 100 receiving yards and at least one touchdown in each of the last two games. Utah State’s defense ranks outside of the top 100, which leaves the door open for players like Williams and White to run up the scoreboard. See who to back at SportsLine.
