How Utah State Reached the LA Bowl
Utah State capped off a memorable season with a Mountain West title, giving the program double-digit wins.
The club romped San Diego State by double digits in the championship game as a 6.5-point underdog.
It marked the fifth upset of the year for Utah State, which also picked up signature victories against Washington State, Air Force, Colorado State and San Jose State.
The Aggies’ 9-4 mark against the spread is the best in the Mountain West entering bowl season.
They got the job done through the air, posting a top-15 passing offense nationally with more than 300 yards per game.
Talk about a show-out year for first-year head coach Blake Anderson, who — along with Aggies starting quarterback Logan Bonner — came over from Arkansas State.
How Oregon State Reached the LA Bowl
Oregon State finally seems to have the right guy at the helm with Jonathan Smith. Sure, this is his first bowl game in four years at the helm, but it doesn’t appear that it will be the last. Despite a 7-5 record, Oregon State had a legitimate chance to win the Pac-12 North up until the final week of the regular season.
After starting Sam Noyer at quarterback in the first game of the season, Chance Nolan took over the reins and proved to be the guy for the Beavers. He went 7-4 as the starter, throwing for 2,414 yards, 19 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
The Beavers still relied on their run game for most of the season. Running back B.J. Baylor led the Pac-12 in rushing yards (1,259) and rushing yards per game (104.9). When Baylor rushed for 100 or more yards, the Beavers were 5-1. He was prone to putting the ball on the ground, however, leading the Pac-12 with four fumbles.
Oregon State was 7-5 ATS this season but covered the spread in four of its last five games of the season.
