Why you should back Utah State
Despite their recent woes, the Aggies have played very well against the Rebels over their history and are 6-0 at home against this Mountain West foe. They also got their solo victory this season at home in Week 1, and they are hosting a team that could be raw on the heels of an overtime loss.
The key for Utah State on Friday will be whether quarterback Spencer Petras can offset the holes on defense. The Iowa transfer threw for 372 yards with three touchdowns in Week 6, but Utah State's defense allowed 62 points to Boise State. If Petras has another solid game, the Aggies could be able to keep Friday's game within the number. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back UNLV
Hajj-Malik Williams has elevated UNLV's game since he has started the last two games under center. In last week's overtime loss to Syracuse, he threw for 227 yards with three touchdowns. He connected with Ricky White III on one of those scores, and the senior wide receiver has 262 receiving yards and three touchdowns over two games with Williams under center.
UNLV's hot offense will challenge Utah State's defense, which allowed 62 points to Boise State its last time out. The Aggies are allowing more than 40 points per game three times this year, while the Rebels have scored more than 40 points in back-to-back games. See who to back at SportsLine.
