Utah State Aggies to Engage in a Coliseum Confrontation with USC Trojans

As the Utah State Aggies prepare to face off against the USC Trojans, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an electrifying game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The upcoming match, scheduled for September 7th, 2024, will see the Aggies looking to build on their recent victory and continue their winning momentum.

In their last outing, the Aggies showcased a dominant performance against Robert Morris Colonials with a convincing 36-14 win. This victory was highlighted by an impressive offensive display that saw them amass a total of 646 yards. The team's rushing attack was particularly potent, contributing significantly with 303 yards on the ground. Quarterback Bryson Barnes and running back Robert Briggs Jr. were standout performers in this aspect, demonstrating agility and power that will be crucial against the Trojans.


The passing game also played a pivotal role in their success. Between quarterbacks Spencer Petras and Bryson Barnes, they managed to throw for 343 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Kyrese White emerged as a key target during this game, accumulating 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns on just five targets.


Defensively, Utah State showed they could apply pressure when needed; recording two sacks and one interception indicates their capability to disrupt opposing offenses. However, it's worth noting that while they managed to limit Robert Morris' scoring opportunities effectively, facing USC will present a significantly higher challenge.


Special teams contributed positively as well; kicker Elliott Nimrod successfully converted all three field goal attempts with his longest being from 50 yards out. This level of reliability from special teams can provide essential points in what may be a closely contested game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.


Despite these strengths demonstrated by Utah State Aggies in their previous game - including an average gain of ten yards per play - penalties did pose some concern with ten infractions costing them over one hundred penalty yards which could have been detrimental had the opposition been more formidable than Robert Morris Colonials.


As both teams gear up for this encounter at one of football’s most storied venues – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – fans can expect an intense battle where every yard gained will matter immensely towards securing victory.


The match is set for September 7th at 11:00 PM ET and can be watched live on BTN network satellite channel number 610.
