Like a magician’s trick gone awry, Utah State’s loss to Boise State on Saturday cleared all the plates off the table for the Aggies football program. USU’s goal of winning the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division shattered like fine crystal. Its hope of reaching the MWC Championship game cracked like porcelain. The only thing salvageable was the Aggies’ bowl eligibility, and even that went a little sideways.
With a Thanksgiving weekend game on the road against a 2-9 New Mexico team coming up, the Aggies will need to figure out how to set the table again.
“Obviously, we had a lot of adversity last week, and we need to bounce back from that,” coach Gary Andersen said.
