What they're saying

"
During the first two weeks of football for the Utah State Aggies, it’s been a mixed but mostly negative bag. A rough showing in a loss to Idaho State and a hopeful but still narrow defeat at Washington still left them 0-2. Getting the obvious out of the way, this is not how the Aggies envisioned their season starting.
