The Utah State Aggies, who went 6-6 overall and 4-4 amongst the Mountain West conference are set to take on Georgia State, who went 6-6, but went 3-5 against the Sun Belt Conference will face off in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The game is set for December 23 at 3:30 ET.

The Aggies had a quarterback carousel this season as four quarterbacks played 10 games or more, but both Cooper Legas and McCae Hillstead threw for over 1,000 yards on the season, despite not playing the full season.

Davon Booth and Rahsul Faison led the way for the Aggies in the run game this season combining for a total of 1,458 rushing yards. Wide receiver Jalen Royals is coming off of his first 1,000 receiving yard season.

The Georgia State Panthers struggled against the Sun Belt Conference this season, but nonetheless, the Panthers were able to have another productive season out of quarterback Darren Grainger who threw for 2,364 yards, 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Georgia State ended the season on a tough note, as they went on a five-game losing streak, and can go to six with a loss against Utah State. The Aggies were winners of three of their last four games to close the season out, most notably a 44-41 double OT win against New Mexico on Black Friday.
