It was a nerve-racking couple of hours for Utah State head football coach Matt Wells, but in the end it was the news he was hoping for.
USU was selected to compete in the third-annual NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl, it was announced Sunday afternoon. The Aggies will square off against former conference rival New Mexico State, also the Aggies, on Friday, Dec. 29, in Tucson, Arizona.
The game — USU’s sixth bowl appearance in the last seven years and 12th overall — will be televised by CBS Sports Network and is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.
