>1936 was the last time USU was outright conference champion. It was a big day today on Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. Utah State came out with a big win over Idaho 45-9.

>- Outright WAC champion (and will be forever because the WAC won't have football after this season)
>- First 10 win season ever. Even the great Merlin Olsen years they didn't do that. Their best then was 9-1 (and ranked #10) in 1961
>- First time since 1982 that the Aggies have been undefeated at home
>- Aggies have won 15 of their last 18, including 6-0 WAC record this year.
>- Kerwin WIlliams continues to lead the nation in all purpose yardage. Expect him to be drafted next summer.

>Up next:
>- Playing at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. I'll turn the TV onto B&W, but will be watching that one on Dec. 15. Current projections have them playing Toledo.
>- Utah State put rumors to rest that coach Gary Anderson will be moving on to a bigger venue. He's already said no to some schools.
>- Kerwin Williams needs 32 yards in Potato Bowl to be all time WAC leader in all purpose yards.
>- I expect the Aggies to climb the AP rankings and break into the top 25 in the coach's poll. (were 26 there last week)

>Other interesting facts from the season...
>- Utah State did not allow a first quarter TD all season. In fact, they only allowed two field goals in the first quarter all season and out scored their opponents 131-6 in the first.
>- Record is 10-2, those loses were by a combined 5 points (2 at Wisconsin, 3 at BYU)
Congrats to the Aggies and best wishes to them the rest of the way.
I am constitutionally unable to discuss Wisconsin's latest lost opportunity against a good team. And they still have a chance to blow two more! ;-(
