Why Utah State Will Win
Valparaiso excels at home, only dropping four games in the Athletics-Recreation Center over the past three seasons, including its 2-0 start at home this year. Utah State will hope that Koby McEwen can suit up and is ready to play. McEwen missed Sunday’s matchup with New Hampshire but started on Friday against Northeastern. The Crusaders own a top 50 defense nationally, so the Aggies will have to find a way to manufacture points in a tough road environment. Sam Merrill needs to guide the team on offense.
