UConn vs Utah State Betting Preview
Week Zero has a non-conference battle in Logan, when the Utah State Aggies host the UConn Huskies. UConn stinks and have no expectations for yet another season. Utah State was picked third in the MWC Mountain Division but did receive three first place votes. This game will air live on FS1.
Last season was another terrible season from UConn as they finished 1-11 in their first season as an Independent. The Huskies lone win on the season was a 21-15 home win over the Yale Bulldogs, an FCS team. UConn’s football program is as bad as it gets.
Utah State had a dream season, in 2021, as they went 11-3 overall and 6-2 in the MWC, on their way to winning the MWC Championship Game. It was the Aggies first conference championship since the 2021 season. The Aggies had wins over a ranked, FCS, North Dakota State team, lost to #13 BYU and finished the regular season with a win over #19 San Diego State in the MWC Championship Game. Utah State topped off the season with a 24-13 win over Oregon State in the LA Bowl.

UConn vs Utah State Betting Pick
UConn had an all-time bad offense last season and return QB Ta’Quan Roberson to run it back. Roberson was a former Penn State player, and highly touted recruit, so he has the tools to be something formidable. WRs Keelan Marion, Kevens Clercius and Aaron Turner should be the strong point for this anemic offense. Defensively, the Huskies return Jackson Mitchell, Ian Swenson, and add Kentucky transfer Marquez Bembry, but this side of the ball will also be a problem.
Utah State returns starting QB Logan Bonner and added Levi Williams from Wyoming as a nice change of pace option. The WR room was decimated, but the Aggies brought in talent with Brian Cobbs and have veteran Justin McGriff back. Alfred Edwards and Quazzel White will anchor a line that comes back with plenty of experience. Defensively, the Aggies will rely on DL Byron Vaughns, Hale Motu’apuaka and Daniel Grzesiak.
Series History: Utah State won the only previous meeting between these two schools, a 38-31 win back in 2001.
