The BYU Cougars squad is off to its worst start (1-3) in his six years heading to Utah State (another 1-3 team) for a rare Friday night game. A shock considering just how consistent this program has been through the years. The Cougars have been bad on both sides of the ball, and as a result have lost their past 3 games SU my multiple TD's. BYU is only averaging 15 PPG, it is the 5th worst in the nation right now. With that being said the last last thing BYU has to contend with is playing on a short week and playing in October is not usually their month posting a horrible 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games played in October. One good thing about the Cougars is that they are 7-3 ATS after a DD loss at home. Mendenhall's team is experiencing frustrating growing pains and the offense seems to have lost the their ablity to score points. The last time BYU lost four in a row was 1993
Rarely does Utah State have history on its side. This could be a strange case Oct. 1 when the stars could really be aligned in the Aggies' favor. Utah St. very well could be the best 1-3 SU team you've never heard of. The Aggies are a dangerous group that play a unique brand of offensive football. In their season opener, they nearly upset Oklahoma as 34 point underdogs. Since that Week 1 ATS win. The Aggies typically playing Mountain West conference teams tough, as they are 6-2 ATS in their past 8 MWC matchups. The Utah St. defense has given up 41 PTS in each of their past 2 games, a trend that must change quickly. The Aggies are giving up 32.5 PPG this year, the 19th worst in the nation. Utah St. has played BYU tough the past 2 seasons, winning each contest ATS as double digit underdogs. BYU is Having a rough start this year and I don't think playing on the road nor playing the Aggies will make things anybetter for them. I'm playing Utah State in this match-up. They will win this game out right.
3* UTAH STATE AGGIES +4
