By ADAM NETTINA sports editor

When Utah State has the ball: Look for coordinator Dave Baldwin’s offense to try to mix it up as usual, but pay special attention to the Aggie running game. Hawaii was able to check Nevada’s usually unstoppable rushing attack last week, and will be facing a less-talented Aggie offensive line this week. Still, USU will likely try to shorten the game by sustaining long drives against the Warriors, who can only benefit offensively from a possession-heavy game. Likewise, by combining a commit- ment to the run game with the altitude of Logan, USU could tire Hawaii’s defense by the second half if backs Kerwynn Williams and Derrvin Speight can keep the chains moving. When Hawaii has the ball: Look for passing, and a lot of it. Hawaii has the nation’s top-ranked passing offense, and has gotten the bulk of its production from receivers Greg Salas (61 catches, 910 yards) and Kealoha Pilares (53 catches, 11 touch- downs). Both players have exceptional hands and quickness in the open field, and can cause havoc out of the slot. While USU will have plenty to worry about with the Warrior passing game, UTAH STATE LINEBACKER BOBBY WAGNER dives over offensive lineman from Brigham Young during the Aggies’ upset win the Aggies can’t afford to overlook Hawaii’s rushing game. Last Oct. 1. Wagner currently leads the Western Athletic Conference in tackles per game, averaging 12.2 per game. Aside from his on-the-field year the Warriors gashed the Aggies for 360 rushing yards, and feats, Wagner also wears a Ninja Turtles backpack. According to teammate Rajric Coleman, Wagner is an “individual.” TODD JONES photo will look to use power back Alex Green in action Saturday. Player to Watch: Hawaii quarterback Bryant Moniz. No defense (including Southern California) has held the Warrior quarterback to under 250 yards passing this year, while three of ‘Joker’ Wagner’s intensity on the last four Hawaii opponents have allowed him to hit on over 70 percent of his passes. For as accurate as Moniz has been, how- ever, it’s his ability to make plays outside the pocket which make him truly dangerous. “He wants to get back there and throw the ball,” said USU head coach Gary Andersen. “But if that opportu- the field no laughing matter nity presents itself he is not afraid to run, and he is very capable of using his feet, no question about it.” 6 loss at Louisiana Tech two weeks ago. defense is ready to make up for its mistakes X-Factor: The weather.

The Bulldogs are looking to continue to begin what would be their first conference win streak this season, coming fresh off of their only conference win of the season, a 2-0 victory over Louisiana Tech in Ruston on Oct 17. Fresno State has been outscored in the second half 13-6. Look for the Utah State offense to attack especially hard after halftime.

San Jose State Don’t be surprised if Kelsey Lord controls the Spartan offense. Last year San Jose State was 6-0 in games where she scored a goal. Lord will play anywhere on the field from the back line to striker, so watch for the adjustments from Utah State to keep tabs on her. San Jose State probably won’t give up many goals, causing Aggie forwards Lauren Hansen and Shantel Flanary to work hard for any chances at a shot. The Spartans have only allowed more than two goals in a match once, in a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to La-Tech.
