I am taking Utah State and nobody can stop me. That team was one Hail Mary away from beating a top-20 Washington squad last week, and now everybody wants to bury them in Salt Lake City. I smell an upset brewing at Rice-Eccles.

Son, Utah State lost to Idaho State in Week 1. At home. Utah is putting up 54 points a game and their defense has not let anyone breathe all season.

I have seen a lot of football and I know what a mismatch looks like. Utah is ranked, rolling, and playing in front of their own crowd for a Hall of Fame celebration. Utah State is 0-2 and their quarterback Grady Brosterhous has thrown four interceptions in two games.

Devon Dampier is out here throwing five touchdowns and one pick through two games, Noah Bennee is averaging nearly 30 yards a catch, and Wayshawn Parker is already in the end zone three times. Utah State cannot match that firepower on any level.

@dtownz, I hear you on the stars, but Eli Wood has two touchdowns for Utah State and the Aggies have been in tough games. They are not as bad as that 0-2 record says.

@drew, they lost to Idaho State in Week 1, at home. That is not a tough game. And Grady Brosterhous is leading the team in both passing and rushing yards, which tells you everything about how thin this offense is.

Utah is allowing 12 points a game and they have not been tested yet. This is a home game against a team that cannot protect the ball. Defense wins this one before halftime.

I am going Utah 56, Utah State 14, and I am not apologizing for it. The Utes dropped 66 on Idaho and 43 on Arkansas. Utah State is a step below both of those programs right now.

@dtownz, I respect the energy but I am keeping it at 48-13. This is still a football game, not a video game, and Utah State will put some points on the board just to keep it respectable.

You all are going to feel real bad when Utah State is celebrating at midfield and I am the only one who believed. I have been right before and I will be right again.

This is also a Hall of Fame game for Utah, so the crowd is going to be loud and fired up from the first snap. Utah State is walking into a hostile environment for the second straight week, and this one will not be as close as Washington was.

Utah by a lot. Check back with @drew after the final whistle.
