A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the McNeese State vs Utah State game
McNeese didn’t have too many issues in their opener this year, imposing their will on Louisiana College during a 54-9 blowout victory. The Cowboys hit the wall in game two versus Louisiana though, posting a 17-7 first half deficit on the way to a 34-10 loss. QB Jake Strong finished with 19-of-30 passing for 191 yards and an interception. Bryce Strong led the rush with seven carries for just 17 yards, and Joshua Jackson caught four balls for 83 yards to top the McNeese receivers in the defeat.
In game three versus Weber State, the Cowboys had a wild game. McNeese ended up falling in that one however, by a final score of 42-41. Strong was 20-of-39 for 278 yards, two TDs and two picks this time, with 45 yards rushing and two more scores. Topping the rush was TreVonte’ Citizen with 11 carries for 117 yards and a score, while Bryce Strong added 96 yards and a TD of his own. Jonathan Harris led the receivers with seven grabs for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the tough defeat.
Over on the Utah State side, they’ve got three games in the can as well this year. First came a pretty manageable matchup versus UTEP. The Aggies ended up surging to a 28-16 win in that one. Game two however, was an unenviable matchup versus a very good Texas A&M team. Utah State coughed up 30 points in the first half alone, eventually falling 44-22. QB Bryson Barnes was 15-of-30 for 169 yards and two scores, while Myles Davis carried 10 times for 50 yards. Brady Boyd topped the team in receiving with six catches for 87 yards in the loss.
Matched up against Air Force last weekend, the Aggies scored 21 points in the third quarter and 14 more in the fourth on the way to a 49-30 win. Barnes was 17-of-22 for 287 yards and two scores alongside three more rush TDs. Javen Jacobs had nine carries for 71 yards and a touchdown, while Braden Pegan caught seven balls for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
Heading into Week 4, Braden Pegan leads the Mountain West Conference for receiving touchdowns (3) this season.
Utah State ranks T132nd among FBS teams for 3rd down conversion percentage this season (22.9).
Utah State ranks 9th among FBS teams for Q3 points per game this season (12.3).
I’ll probably stay with Utah State. The Aggies handled a potentially dangerous Air Force team pretty well last weekend despite giving up 266 rushing yards and 23 first downs. Utah State did generate three takeaways (two picks) though, and got off the field when they needed to. Otherwise the offense took care of business, scoring quickly with just 21:49 in time of possession. Utah State bagged 473 total yards and 8.4 yards per play in their 19-point win. Combined across two victories so far, the Aggies have 77 points.
As for McNeese, they gave up a ton of production to Weber State in their latest defeat. The Cowboys surrendered 447 total yards (229 rushing), 6.5 yards per play and 9-of-16 on third-down tries. Even with a couple of takeaways, the offense couldn’t keep up on 537 total yards (259 rushing). This will be another long day for the McNeese State defense if they can’t get it together.
