AGGIES PLAY AT UTAH ON ESPN2
• Utah State (1-0) will play its first road game of the 2015 season at in-state rival Utah (1-0) on Friday, Sept. 11, at 7:05 p.m., in a game that will be nationally televised on ESPN2.
• Utah State is playing Utah for the 112th time in series history, which is the oldest rivalry in school history. The series began in 1892 with a USU win (12-0) and the two teams played one another on an annual basis for 90 straight years (1919-2009), minus the 1943 season when neither school fielded a team due to World War II. However, in 2010 the series took a two-year hiatus before the two teams played back-to-back games in 2012 and 2013. USU and UU did not play each other last year.
• The Utah State vs. Utah series is tied for the 14th-most played series in the nation at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level and tied for the 23rd-most played series in college football. USU's second-oldest rival is BYU (84 games).
• Utah State is 7-7 on the road under head coach Matt Wells, including a 1-4 non-conference road record. In all, USU has won 14 of its last 23 road games dating back to the 2012 season.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR FRIDAY
• Utah State has won 36 of its last 48 games (.750) and those 36 wins are the third-most in the West behind Oregon (42) and Boise State (37).
• Utah State is 1-0 to start a season for the first time since 2012 and for just the sixth time dating back to 1979, a span of 36 years. Overall, USU has won its season-opener 61 times in school history. The last time USU started the season 2-0 was in 2012 when it posted back-to-back home wins against Southern Utah (34-3) and Utah (27-20 OT). The Aggies have started a season 2-0 just 37 times in school history.
• Utah State redshirt senior QB Chuckie Keeton has 58 career touchdown passes and is just two touchdown passes away from tying the school record of 60 set by Jose Fuentes (1998-2002). Keeton is also just 20 pass attempts away from tying Diondre Borel (2007-10) for second all-time in school history with 922 pass attempts.
• Utah State has won nine of its last 12 games played during the month of September, including three of its last six on the road. USU is also 5-3 all-time in games played on Sept. 11.
