Take Utah State. Levi Williams will get another chance to show what he can do for the Aggies. He’s the team’s backup quarterback that will draw the start today against the slumping Panthers. Williams led Wyoming to a 52-38 win over Kent State in the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. He ran for three scores and threw for two more in the Aggies’ 44-41 double overtime win at New Mexico. He accounted for 351 total yards, rushing for 153 on 25 carries while completing 16 of 27 attempts for 198 yards.
As for Georgia State, the Panthers enter today’s bowl having dropped five straight games, covering only once in that span. Their lone cover? As a 2.5-point underdog at Old Dominion in Week 13, the team’s final regular season game. The Aggies should score at will today.
