BYU Football: Backfield pressure and two more keys to beating Utah State

The first in-state showdown of the year is upon us. BYU Football takes on Utah State on Friday night in a game that could define the season for both teams.

If the Cougars win, bowl eligibility is nearly a lock and they can start aiming higher. If they lose, there’s little margin of error the rest of the way in order to make a bowl game.

For the Aggies, a win would give legitimacy to their strong start, and give them momentum heading into a battle with Boise State and San Diego State for Mountain West Conference supremacy.
