Utah State fan here. Thanks for the add. I'm not the troll type, just dropping in for some positive back and forth.

A bit about our team: Offense is down this year in spite of having a legitimate NFL bound QB at the helm. Jordan Love has had a pretty rough year behind a complete new offensive line and lack of height at WR outside the numbers. Having a rather short set of wide receivers has been the root cause of many of Love's multitude of interceptions this year. After a stellar season last year, watching the offense this year has been extremely frustrating to Aggie fans.

We're also under a new coaching staff after the previous staff left for Texas Tech. Head coach is Gary Andersen who is well known for his debacle at Oregon State, even throwing his assistants under the bus. However for the most part he was welcomed back to Utah State this year with open arms. His first stint here brought Utah State out of the dark ages football wise. Utah State went to only 2 bowl games from 1961-2010. Andersen turned the program around making back to back bowl trips in 2011-12 before leaving for the head coaching job at Wisconsin. 2016 was our lone losing season since the turnaround in 2011.

On the defensive side of the ball we are mediocre at best. The new coaching staff switched our base defense from a 3-4 to a 4-2-5, even though it's blatantly obvious we don't have the players to run the new system. Again, frustrating for us Aggie fans.

As far as what fans on our side think of the bowl game, most are predicting a win(admittedly most don't know anything about Kent State and are pretty ignorant about our chances). I expect a good game.

Congrats! And look forward to friendly chat about the game if anyone is interested!

Go Aggies!
