AFA did put up huge run numbers, but they also have put up huge numbers against everyone but Navy.

I actually think our secondary is much more vulnerable than our run defense.

I don't see that. They will air it out. Arod likes that and the receivers are a

A heavy run game plan keeps our D from getting gassed. I'd go with that

I'll be honest, I don't want to see Hall try for any extra yards, I want him to slide early, or get out of bounds. I

How can you look amazing if you only score three points ?

Hopefully the Aggies will self destruct in the red zone again

2019 USU was actually decent. Here were their losses:

I hope the team does not think this game is in the bag. Respect your opponent.

I’d say both teams are better. Shouldn’t be close, but it is a rivalry game

We're gonna win, but this USU team is a lot better than the last one we played.

How are they better? I just don't see it. They are worse in almost every way.
