Utah State’s resume is anchored by neutral-site wins over VCU, Tulane and Davidson that give the profile a clear top-line signature, but a damaging road loss at South Florida and a scarcity of true road victories against strong conference opponents leave room for skepticism. The team has shown defensive steadiness while its offense can be streaky, which makes neutral and away results especially important; upcoming trips to Boise State and San Diego State and a home showdown with Memphis are genuine opportunities to erase doubt. Meanwhile the Mountain West stretch at home against Fresno State, San Jose State, Nevada, Grand Canyon, UNLV and New Mexico offers multiple chances to pad the résumé and build momentum, so the remaining slate will largely determine whether the strong nonconference burst holds up under conference scrutiny.
