Fresno State and Utah State will lock horns in the first ever Mountain West title game Saturday night. The game has been discussed a lot this week leading up to Saturday night, and now it is time to just play the game. This is the first meeting between the two schools this year, but the 23rd overall, including playing each year from 2005-2011 when both schools were part of the WAC.
The key to Saturday's game will be how well the conference rated No. 1 offense in Fresno State will do going up against Utah State who has the leagues best defense, and vice versa. The one key difference is that Utah State has a better offense when comparing it to the Fresno State defense, and could be the factor as to how this game unfolds.
