AgAlum is correct --- 8 pm St. George, UT time, or 7 pm Las Vegas time (PT)

You know, the Aggies better get up for this game -- Utah Tech is a growing program, they've got a lot of Utah/BYU transfers and they are fresh as this is their 2025 opener.

Trailblazers were playing tough to end 2024:
Played Austin Peay tough at home (L 7-13)
Beat Central Arkansas at home (W 34-21)
Lost vs. West Georgia (L 31-34)
Played Southern Utah tough in Cedar City (L 34-37 in 2 OT)

"I felt like clearly we were the better team in the game." This is a good thing to hear as a fan that got nervous there in the 4th. His comments really point to the Ags really getting gassed late- not a talent issue.

I think Fisher needs to get more carries. As much as I like Perez, I think it’s gotta be primarily Fisher and Vargas getting most of the carries. One thing I noticed was the lack of swing passes out of the backfield although we don’t have a Lan Larison who did such a great job of that

Jordan Fisher must of had at least a dozen relatives at the Mercer game. They all had shirts with their relationship to Jordan. I thought that was pretty neat.

95 David Huegel is a true Freshman as is 96 Jaden Few. True Freshmen playing at critical points in the game is probably due to the dehydration Plough says they were contending with. Lots of guys deep in the depth chart were in their when Mercer had their surge. Not all at the same time but rotating. I think Few trailed the Mercer RB on his 69yard run.

Didn’t know much about St. George Utah but looked it up and it seems like climate will be somewhat less of a factor but maybe not completely. Similar temps to Davis, slight elevation but moderate by Big Sky standards, humidity seems to rest somewhere in between Davis and Alabama but varies by day.

My phone says it will be 87 at kickoff and feel like 86. Its at a couple thousand feet elevation.

Here’s the hour by hour forecast. At least they're not forecasting thunder storms.

Join the club….

Sounds like the Aggies should have no trouble with this one, especially with one "game" under their belts. I only hope they aren't overconfident going into a stadium home opener for UTU.

I don't necessarily want to say "no trouble" because any given Saturday and what not, but Utah Tech statistically had one the worst offenses and defenses in FCS last season which is why they finished with a 1-11 record. They will have essentially an entirely new defense so they could be a little spicy, but I have a hard time believing they totally turned the ship around in 1 off season.
