Through 3 Quarters
The Wyoming Cowboys were expected to take an ‘L’ in this one, but so far it isn’t playing out to script. After three quarters it’s looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Utah State Aggies as the Cowboys lead 41-17.
RB Titus Swen has led the way so far for Wyoming, as he has rushed for two TDs and 170 yards on 12 carries. Swen has put himself on the highlight reel with a 98-yard TD scramble in the third quarter. Speaking of playmakers, CB Cameron Stone went all the way with a kickoff return for touchdown in the first quarter.
Utah State has been riding high on the performance of QB Logan Bonner, who has passed for two TDs and 166 yards on 30 attempts in addition to picking up 36 yards on the ground.
Utah State has been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we’ll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know
The Utah State Aggies will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Aggies and the Wyoming Cowboys will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium. Utah State will be strutting in after a win while Wyoming will be stumbling in from a loss.
When you finish with 260 more yards than your opponent like Utah State did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They were the clear victors by a 48-17 margin over the San Jose State Spartans. It was another big night for Utah State’s QB Logan Bonner, who passed for four TDs and 263 yards on 35 attempts.
Meanwhile, Wyoming came up short against the Boise State Broncos last Friday, falling 23-13. The losing side was boosted by WR Isaiah Neyor, who caught six passes for one TD and 126 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Levi Williams’ 74-yard TD bomb to Neyor in the fourth quarter.
The Aggies are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Utah State is now 8-2 while the Cowboys sit at 5-5. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Utah State is 220th worst in the nation in thrown interceptions, having thrown 11 on the season. Wyoming is completely their equal: they are stumbling into the matchup with the 220th most thrown interceptions in the nation, having thrown 11 on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
