Utah State’s résumé is built around eye‑catching neutral‑site wins over VCU, Tulane and Davidson and comfortable home blowouts of Weber State and UTEP that demonstrate the offense’s upside, but the road loss at South Florida is a clear blemish that leaves questions about the team’s consistency away from campus. That mix of signature neutral victories and at least one damaging road defeat explains why the team sits where it does. The Mountain West slate still gives multiple practical ways to improve the case, most notably road tests at Boise State and at San Diego State and important home assignments against Colorado State, Fresno State and Memphis while trips to Nevada, UNLV and Grand Canyon provide additional chances to show steadiness. If Utah State turns home advantages into wins and avoids more ugly results on the road those neutral‑site wins will carry far more weight and the résumé will look considerably cleaner.
