Hold - WSU: Bad loss last week, but overall a good year
Sell - SUU: Can salvage some pride vs. WSU, but don't expect it
By the numbers
1 — Game time for the Weber State vs. Southern Utah contest Saturday in Cedar City. It was originally set for 3 p.m., but was moved up by two hours
2 — Number of top offensive players Utah lost to serious injury vs. New Mexico on Saturday: QB Brian Johnson and WR John Madsen
3 — Consecutive wins by Utah over BYU. Also the number of points the Utes scored in a shutout win over the Cougs the last time the game was played in Provo
4 — Years since BYU has been to a bowl — a streak that likely will end this season
5 — Games in a row Utah State has lost. Even SUU has won more recently
50 — Yards of USU kicker Justin Hamblin's first-quarter field goal against Hawaii — 15 yards better than his previous best as an Aggie
