BYU looking for bounce-back game, but facing confident, explosive Utah State squad

PROVO — BYU wants to bounce back from last weekend’s humbling 35-7 loss at Washington.

But it won’t be easy as a confident, high-scoring Utah State team invades LaVell Edwards Stadium Friday (7 p.m., MDT, ESPN2).

The Aggies are seeking their third win over the Cougars in five years.

BYU has played four Power 5 opponents this season and USU is the first Group of 5 foe. But the Aggies, who average 51.5 points a game, pose a big challenge.

“Utah State has put up big numbers. They’re very explosive,” said BYU safety Austin Lee.
