By now, film has been watched on upcoming opponents, opinions have been formed and talent has been assessed.

And from watching Utah State on film, Weber State head coach Ron McBride came away impressed.

"That's one of the best Utah State teams that I've seen," McBride said. "They're a lot better than Wyoming. We're going to have a big challenge on our hands. They just have a lot better players than Wyoming had."

Of course, Weber State almost pulled a huge upset against Wyoming on Saturday, losing 35-32 in a game the Wildcats controlled at the line of scrimmage. It was almost a mirror image of USU's near-upset of Auburn in USU's season-opener.

Weber State and the Aggies meet on Saturday at Romney Stadium. Gametime is 6 p.m.
