The team also faced setbacks with injuries to key players such as RB Robert Briggs Jr. and made changes to the coaching staff. With a power ranking of 78, the Aggies are currently ranked 60 in offense and defense for the 2024 season, with a 0-0 record.

USC Trojans Analysis

The USC Trojans started off the 2024 season with an impressive victory over LSU, showcasing a new offensive vibe with quarterback Miller Moss leading the way. The defense, which has made changes through the transfer portal, showed improvement but still has room for growth. Head Coach Lincoln Riley is looking to silence critics and build on this win as they face tough opponents like Michigan and Notre Dame later in the season. USC currently has a power ranking of 71 and is 1-0 overall. Their next matchup against Utah State will be a test based on historical matchups.

Trojans favored by over 4 touchdowns against Utah State may be too generous

Following a thrilling victory on Sunday evening, the Trojans have been favored by more than a 4 touchdown spread over the Utah State Aggies. Despite their success last year with a Heisman-caliber quarterback, USC struggled to cover the spread, finishing with a 1-0 record. This may present an opportunity for the Aggies to shine. With upcoming high-profile games against LSU and the Big House, this match against Utah State may prove challenging for USC, potentially leading to opportunities for other players such as quarterback Jayden Maiava. Utah State, on the other hand, had a more successful record against the spread last season, showing their ability to compete. Considering all factors, the 28.5-point spread seems overly generous and may be worth reconsideration.
