Utah State preparing for a fast pace against Kent State in Frisco Bowl

Logan • The Utah State Aggies had about one extra week to prepare for their Frisco Bowl opponent, the Kent State Golden Flashes, and the scout on them is simple: They have a flashy run game.

“They do a lot of different run plays — more than I’ve seen really any football team do,” Aggies defense coordinator Justin Ena said. “It’s a little bit different from what I’m used to.”

The Golden Flashes average 181 rushing yards per game and have scored 14 touchdowns on those types of plays. Both statistics are far less than their passing prowess — 212.
