A year ago these two teams were involved in an offensive slugfest in Colorado Springs that ended up determining the Mountain Division championship. The Aggies came away with the 49-45 victory in a game that featured over 600 yards offense for each team. The victory in that game gave the Aggies the division championship.
The Aggies are still running the system that got them the Mountain West last year, but there have been a few personnel changes since then.
The biggest change is at quarterback, where Logan Bonner is out for the season. He underwent knee surgery over the offseason and struggled early this year with confidence in playing on the repaired leg.
