Utah State defeated Southern Utah last Thursday night at the Maverik Stadium, claiming a 12-9 victory. Quite unexpectedly, the Aggies were starting to flail until Andrew Rodriguez’ 88-yard punt return in the fourth quarter for a touchdown with 4:54 remaining secured them the win. This was the third-longest return in the school history. Rodriguez, a transfer for Utah State from Houston had to sit out last season, but made sure to make an impact in the opening week of 2015.

Possession of the ball during Utah State’s game against Southern Utah was pretty evenly split, although Utah State clearly outdid the competition, gaining 250 total yards. So far this season, the Aggies have carried 35, with LaJuan Hunt claiming 23 of those for 80 yards out of the total of 140. Sixteen receptions have been recorded in total for the 2015 season with a total of 110 yards, giving Southern Utah an average of 6.9 yards per reception.

The Utes have reinstated suspended cornerback, Dominique Hatfield following the troubled times that the secondary had during the season opener against Michigan. Hatfield had been charged with aggravated robbery and misdemeanor theft in July, but has since had all charges dropped against him. His return, following a further clearance of an unrelated misdemeanor assault charge, has created an instant spark within Utah’s team, although despite this, it is still unclear as to whether he’ll be in action against the Aggies. And although he was absent for the opening game of the season, Utah still claimed a victory against Michigan, finishing with a 24-17 point win.

According to official statistics for the 2015 season, the Utes have completed 24 of the 33 attempted passes for 208 yards, thanks to quarterback, Travis Wilson. Devontae Booker currently leads the way with 22 carries for 69 yards out of the total 37 carries for 129 yards, while Wilson follows behind with 12 carries for 53 yards. A total of 24 receptions, with Booker claiming seven of these, are recorded, while both he and Britain Covey have secured 20 long receptions each.

There may be a letdown for Utah after their big win over Michigan, but we don’t think will happen here with Utah State’s recent success against them. It’s worth noting that the Utes easily handled the Wolverines offense who did score 17 points, but the last seven were inside of the last minute of the game. We’ll side with squares in this game and take the home team.
