THE STAKES
For Utah State ... The Aggies have a number of holes to fill from last season, but most notable is that they are entering a new era with former Utah Ute Jason Shelley at quarterback after Jordan Love was a first-round NFL draft pick last spring. Can he get off to a good start against a perennially tough Boise State team?
For Boise State ... The Broncos are once again picked to win the Mountain West Conference. Can they get off on the right foot in that quest in what will be such a unique season?
THE TRENDS
For Utah State ... The Aggies have lost their last three season openers, although all of them have come against Power Five opponents (Wisconsin, Michigan State, Wake Forest).
For Boise State ... The Broncos have won their last five season openers, including two against Power Five opponents (Washington in 2015 and Florida State in 2019).
