Las Vegas • The Utah State Aggies are coming off a bowl appearance and return 18 starters, including a sophomore quarterback — Jordan Love — who unseated the incumbent starter as a freshman last year. On paper, anyway, Matt Wells' team appears poised for a return to contention in the Mountain West Conference.
The conference’s coaches and media, however, appear to be taking more of a wait-and-see approach with the Aggies.
USU was picked to finish fourth in the Mountain Division on Tuesday in both the coaches and media polls at the MWC media summit here at the The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
