Yes, the two programs have been playing since 1903.
Yes, the Aggies have a modest lead overall.
Yes, the Aggies have a modest lead in the MWC:

2018 24-16
2017 23-28
2016 28-52
2015 58-27
2014 20-3
2013 35-7

Yes, the average score over the last six seasons is 31.33-22.17.

BUT, the last two games are, I think, more indicative of the series than any of the others. This is a series that turns on 3-4 plays and two scores at most (absent special circumstances like your superman quarterback in 2016), and this year looks like a less than one field goal outcome no matter how blue the lenses in my shades.

Love it when you folks come to town. My favorite game of the year.

Thanks for the kind words! This is a game that has turned into a pretty great series. I'm glad Utah State is in the conference, and I'm happy we get to see these teams play every year.

Nuts, my brother-in-law's brother beat me to the draw, but I'll echo his sentiments.
First, one of the best things about being in the MWC is playing Wyoming regularly again. Wyoming fans are hands down the best guests at Maverik Stadium. You always bring a good crowd. You're loud, and support your kids well, and at the end of the game, win or lose, everyone is a good sport.
I love it when this game is meaningful. This is the best of college football.
So, I hope we win, but if we have to lose, I'd rather lose to the Pokes than to any other team in the conference.
Go Pokes! Go AGGIES!

Should be a spirited game and competitive. Really a big game for both teams. I hope we get our seventh win that guarantees a bowl bid.

Spread is USU -6

I think the Pokes get it done and win this one.

That's probably the way to bet. Still, the Ags turned a corner down in Mama Joad country Saturday night.
