Aztecs length and atlethicism will bother Utah St. 3 point shooters...Utah St. has an impressive home record but this isn't the W.A.C. where most of the wins has accumulated. SDST has proven they can win on the road with a victory at Kansas.
Only angle I can see for backing Utah St is fading the public(trap game), but fukk it gotta go with the better team.
