LOGAN, Utah (ABC-4 Sports) - The Utah State football team faces its toughest challenge of the year when they welcome in 6th ranked Boise State (10-0) to Romney Stadium Friday night. The Aggies may in over the heads, but that doesn't mean they're going to lay down for the Broncos, who have outscored the Aggies in their last three meetings 150-24.
"How do we make the game competitive?" mused head coach Gary Andersen. "Number one, we have to believe we can make it competitive. I think that's important for our football players to understand we can go out and we compete with anybody. We've played some dang good football teams this year. But Boise is a tremendous football team. There's not a weakness on the team as you go through and study them."
Utah State running back Robert Turbin agrees that this game presents a tall task. "They're obviously a great football team," said Turbin. "They've accomplished a lot over the past few years. They're a great team defensively, and they have the best run defense in the conference."
However, it is senior night, and the game is being televised by ESPN, so you never know what could happen. The Aggies could come out and play the game of their lives.
"Having a chance to be on national TV," said senior safety Adrian Bybee. "Having ESPN coming in, that's pretty exciting. It's a chance to kind of show what we're all about here at Utah State."
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night.
