Call me crazy, but I think the Wolf Pack grabs its first WAC win today in Logan, Utah. Eventually somebody will put the Wolf Pack in a tough spot by taking the run option away from quarterback Colin Kaepernick, but that won’t happen today.

Talk about letdowns all you want, but Utah State just isn’t very good. They run a lot of option, and they’re still only in the middle of the conference in rushing yards. To steal some words from Chancellor Jim Rogers, they don’t do much well.

This is the first game of a crucial stretch for the Wolf Pack. Nothing is finished in the conference. While the Wolf Pack probably won’t win the WAC, nothing is settled in a conference where no team is above a meltdown.

After the 2-4 start, however, the Wolf Pack probably has to win out to get to a bowl game. That’s doable with Utah State, Idaho, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, and San Jose State left on the schedule - along with an overrated Hawaii team - but coach Chris Ault has to make sure his team takes care of business. That starts with the Aggies.
