Predictions for the rest of the 7/22 games

Colorado State at Utah State

Colorado State added to USU's heartbreak last year.  But the tables should be turned this year, unless the Aggies have fallen into the same trap that Utah has where they look forward to playing BYU in 2 weeks.  The Rams have otherwise struggled since the last meet and are on the rebound.  These teams will be in the same conference next season. This could be the beginning of a new rivalry.

Eastern Washington at Weber State

Eventually, the WSU has to find rhythm and move the ball.  Eventually the running game has to be established for the spread offense to be effective.  A tall order against a quality defense.  Doesn't make for a happy homecomming

EWU 31 WSU 14

Southern Utah at Portland State

It's been a long time coming, but finally here.  SUU gets to play their first ever Big Sky Conference game.  Too bad it is against Portland State.  The Vikings are not what the used to be since McCaffrey graduated.  The Thunderbirds are not what they used to be since Minifee graduated.  Should be a close, low-scoring game.

PSU 17 SUU 14

Utah at Arizona State

John Hays may have finally found his swagger.  He did an acceptable job against BYU last week.  Everyone know that this will soon be Travis Wilson's team, but that time is not yet.  Hopefully John White is able to play effectively.  ASU is a new team this year and not an easy team to beat in Tempe.
