The PAC-12 season is shaking up down the stretch and this Saturday provides many opportunities to clear things up in the race for the 2nd place spot. With Boise State solidified at the top, Oregon State, Texas State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State all are in the mix to challenge this week.
For the Aztecs it’s a spot they may not have believed they would get to with the early season struggles. Utah State could say the same as well. But here we are, a senior night showdown at Snapdragon Stadium for the Aztecs and a faint possibility of championship glory attached to it.
Utah State is 4-5 overall this season and 3-2 in PAC-12 play in 2026. They’ve won 3 of their last 4 games; a one point home victory over lowly Washington State, a three point loss on the road vs Texas State, a home victory over Colorado State 31-14, and last weekend’s narrow home victory over Fresno State, 17-10.
San Diego State is coming off a much needed bye week after reaching a 4-5 overall record this season. The Aztecs however are also 3-2 in PAC-12 play and are getting healthy at just the right time for an interesting conference push.
The Aztecs are 4-1 at home this season having won 3 straight. Since last season overall Coach Lewis’ team is 10-1 inside Snapdragon Stadium. Despite the home success, Las Vegas sports books are showing the money lining up on the side of the Aggies.
Utah State is currently -2.5 road favorites despite the domination by SDSU over the course of the two teams head to head history. SDSU holds a 13-5 advantage all-time. One factor that may be influencing this betting advantage is that Utah State has won 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two programs dating back to 2019.
San Diego State and Utah State kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and USA Sports Network will televise the game.
