Utah State at Santa Clara

The Utah State Aggies have been a top program over the years, but they have slipped a bit. While they regroup, the focus has to be on the pace of the game and on the defensive end. The commitment on the defensive end has been a staple of the program, and it has them out of the gate allowing less than 60 points per contest. They have been rewarded with a 3-1 start. The Broncos are a perfect 5-0 and have had their way on the offensive end thus far, but for the most part vs. far inferior competition. They will get a look tonight at a competent team that is going to take them out of their comfort zone and shorten the game. The Aggies have been the masters of this strategy, in particular on the road where they are 8-0 to the UNDER in their last eight. Back the UNDER in this one.
