Aggies Host No. 19 Broncos Nov. 10 on Senior Day

QUICKLY — For the third time this season overall and the first time at home, Utah State (0-9, 0-5 WAC), will take on a nationally-ranked team when the Aggies host No. 19 Boise State (8-1, 5-1 WAC) on Saturday, Nov. 10. The Western Athletic Conference game and USU's home finale will kickoff at 1 p.m. at Romney Stadium (25,513). Saturday will be Senior Day as the Aggies will honor their 15 seniors before the game. USU has lost 18 straight games against ranked teams, including its two this season, a 54-3 loss at third-ranked Oklahoma on Sept. 15 and a 52-37 loss at 16th-ranked Hawai'i on Oct. 6. The Aggies haven't faced three Top 25 teams in the same season since 2001 when they played four ranked opponents. This is the second year in a row that Utah State faced a ranked Boise State squad, as the Broncos were #13 last season. The Broncos are the 17th opponent to tote a national ranking upon its visit to Romney Stadium and USU is 4-12 in the previous 16 meetings, currently on a six-game home losing skein to nationally ranked teams, last winning on Aug. 31, 1996, 20-17, against a Utah team that was receiving votes. The Aggies are 1-6 at home against Top 25 teams as USU's only win against a Top 25 team was Nov. 2, 1991, with a 20-19 win over No. 25 Fresno State.

SENIOR DAY — USU will recognize 15 seniors in its final Romney Stadium appearance. That group includes RB Josh Anderson, TE/FB Jimmy Bohm, DE Ben Childs, TE Will Fausel, RB Chris Forbes, QB/P Leon Jackson III, OG Pace Jorgensen, RB Aaron Lesue, DE Frank Maile, OG Shawn Murphy, CB Drew Pearson, WR Tarell Richards, WR/KR Kevin Robinson, WR Preston Robinson and DE Carl Singleton.
