The fourth week of the Mountain West season is now nearly complete and Utah State is still winless, falling to 0-4 after a frustrating 35-16 loss to Fresno State at home. This is the worst start for Utah State since 2007 when they didn’t win a game until they played their 11th game. Things are not going to get any easier in the coming weeks and Utah State has another challenge coming with Wyoming next week.
