Utah State Hosts Air Force in Final Mountain West Meeting Saturday Night

Conference realignment sends the programs to separate leagues next season, making future games unlikely.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Saturday night at Maverik Stadium in Logan, with FS1 and a FoxSports.com stream carrying the broadcast.
  • Air Force plans to rotate quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Liam Szarka in its triple-option offense, with the depth chart still unsettled after one game.
  • The Falcons released an availability report listing linebackers Jonah Bowman, Dallas Daley and Zach Juckel plus receiver Jonah Dawson as out, with several others questionable under the league’s new policy.
  • Utah State enters 1-1 after a 28-16 win over UTEP and a 44-22 loss at No. 19 Texas A&M, while Air Force is 1-0 following a 49-13 victory over Bucknell.
  • The series has been tight since 2013 at 6-5 in Air Force’s favor, five recent meetings were decided by seven points or fewer, and no future dates are scheduled.
