In a game where they were massive underdogs against the top-ranked team in the nation, Alabama showed why they’re a national championship favorite.
The defending Mountain West champion Aggies were no match for Nick Saban’s squad from the opening kickoff. It was clear that the Crimson Tide were bigger, stronger, faster, and overall just better than Utah State.
The Aggies were held scoreless by the preseason national title favorite, falling 55-0 in Tuscaloosa.

After the large but expected defeat, Utah State (1-1) shifts its focus to in-state foe Weber State.
Despite the Wildcats being an FCS-level program, the Aggies cannot afford to take them lightly. Weber State opened its season with a 41-5 win on Thursday night over Western Oregon and is ranked No. 20 in both FCS polls.
The Aggies host the Wildcats on Saturday, September 10 at 5 p.m. MT.
