Oddly enough, Utah State is slightly favored on TeamRankings - not sure about other sites, to be honest. In this case, it is only by 2 points and the median predicted score is 29-27. Massey is predicting more or less a toss-up with a slight edge to Utah State as well. 

Regarding Utah State, Chuckie Keeton has to rank right up there with great QB names in the modern era.
