The game record shows KSU and USU 1-1 after two games in the 70's with each team winning on the road. I was privileged to attend both games. But KSU scored a major victory over USU in the 60's when Jim Corrigall made a last minute decision to attend Kent State and not USU. There was no national LOI in those days. Without question Jim has to be among the top 5 or so players never to have played at USU ranking along with O.J. Simpson who the Aggies recruited believe it or not. I'm happy that everything turned out well for him at KSU. I knew him when I was a graduate student at the University of Toronto and encouraged him to go to USU.

This year the Aggies probably played their best game the first game against Wake Forest and would have likely won that game if they had made one more first down in the 4th quarter. Since then neither offense nor defense has played consistently well. Injuries have played a role but that's usually the case with every team. In USU's other losses - LSU, BYU, BSU, AF- game trends were established and obvious early by the play of the respective OL's and DL's. Something to look for Friday. From what I can gather about KSU, I expect a close competitive game.

Best wishes,
