LOGAN – Heading into Utah State’s season opener at Wisconsin Friday night, optimistic Aggie fans may choose to recall that USU came within a missed field goal of upsetting the No. 22 Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium in 2012.
But then, that was an Aggie team coming off of a 7-6 season that finished 11-2 — a mark impressive enough that then-head coach Gary Andersen ended up being lured away to coach the Badgers himself following the end of the 2012 season.
Conversely, the Aggies head into Madison this time around having lost five games in a row and eight of their last nine games.
