Utah State Battles In-State Foe Utah Saturday, Sept. 29

QUICKLY — Utah State (0-4, 0-1 WAC) does its best Willie Nelson impression and goes on the road again, heading to Salt Lake City to tangle with in-state foe Utah (1-3, 0-2 MWC) for the 107th time in the nation's 12th-most played rivalry on Saturday, Sept. 29. Kickoff at Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium is set for 1 p.m. Saturday's game will be regionally broadcast on the mtn. (Comcast Ch. 37 in Cache Valley). Utah leads the all-time series by a 74-28-4 count, including nine straight victories since the Aggies posted back-to-back wins in 1996 and 1997. The Utes have won 17 of the last 19, 20 of the last 23 and 23 of the last 27 meetings between the two schools. In games at Salt Lake City, USU is 17-50-4 vs. Utah. At 87 miles from stadium to stadium, this is USU's shortest road trip of the season.
