‘No-name’ USU defense as opportunistic as it comes — and will need to be against Boise State

Now nearing the end of what has been one of the best, most exhilarating, most scoreboard melting regular seasons in the history of Utah State football, these players have a final exam Saturday evening on the blue turf. This no-name group is tasked with slowing, statistically, the most prolific quarterback in Mountain West Conference history in what will be likely the toughest road environment they face in 2018.

The Mountain division title is on the line in Boise, where the No. 14-ranked Utah State Aggies face No. 21 Boise State. Storylines are simple. Two dynamic go-go-go offenses and two defenses needing to use every inch to slow one another down.
