It’s only four games in, but the Aggies’ 2022 football season is over.
Well actually, it’s technically not over – there are eight games left – but I as a fan, and I’m sure just about everyone in Cache Valley wishes it was. This very well is starting to become the biggest waste of an attempt to even have a team on the field.
Utah State football’s season just keeps getting worse, even when that doesn’t even seem like it’s possible anymore.
Yet, here we are.
The Aggies are 1-3, 0-1 in Mountain West play. Their lone win is against one of the worst programs in the country (UConn) and came in the opening week. A loss to Alabama is fine, but getting obliterated by Weber State – an FCS school – is not. Maybe a bye week would help before conference play began?
Apparently not. The Aggies lost their third straight game on Saturday, falling 34-24 to UNLV. Somehow two of the worst losses we’ve perhaps ever seen in a season of high expectations have come in back-to-back game weeks. While the Rebels are much improved this year, they are the cellar dweller of the Mountain West year after year.
The Aggies are a mess, and I don’t even know where to begin.
Being 1-3 after an 11-3, Mountain West title-winning season? Bad. Six turnovers against UNLV? Worse. Logan Bonner? Terrible. Every running back on the team? The offense? The defense? The coaching? The discipline? Every single part of this team is somehow awful and get’s worse every week.
I still can’t wrap my mind around how it’s possible to turn in what might be the best season in program history and then follow it up with perhaps one of the worst seasons the very next year.
All I know is I have tickets to the game against BYU on Thursday night. Utah State will be lucky to not get hammered by 40 points.
Honestly, though the Aggies could lose by 70 and it wouldn’t matter. The season is already over, or at least it should be.
