At face value this game is meaningless. BYU is going to the Poinsettia Bowl regardless of the outcome of this game, and Utah State just wants to end this disappointing season. While the game will likely have no post-season impact, both teams crave a win, and Utah State more so to salvage a season where they will be missing out on an bowl game for the first time since 2010.
BYU is the only rivalry game Utah State gets to play this year, and you can bet the Aggies are going to play their hearts out.
