Week 13: Utah State at Idaho

This was supposed to be the WAC’s ultimate pillow fight. Then Utah State went and beat New Mexico State last week, snapping a 16-game losing streak.

Now it’s the Vandals who own the WAC’s longest losing streaks at nine straight games overall and 12 straight in the WAC.

If Utah State wins, the Aggies could finish as high as solo seventh and record back-to-back victories for the first time since 2003.

If Idaho wins, the Vandals could forge a three-way tie for last place with Utah State and New Mexico State.

Not exactly Boise State-Hawaii stakes — but meaningful, nonetheless.

“This is a hungry football team that is wanting to make a difference,” Idaho coach Robb Akey said.

The teams combine for just 42 points per game — owning two of the nation’s 25 worst offenses. They allow 73 points per game — owning two of the nation’s 20 worst defenses.

Two players may decide the outcome.

Idaho tailback Deonte Jackson, who averages 100 yards per game and has scored seven touchdowns, is the Vandals’ marquee offensive player.

Utah State wide receivers/return specialist Kevin Robinson, who averages 197.7 all-purpose yards per game and has scored eight touchdowns, is the Aggies’ playmaker. He has scored four touchdowns on kick returns.
