On Saturday night, the Utah State Aggies (5-3) will take their solid defense on the road to face the Hawaii Warriors (2-6). During the 2013 season, the Aggies were able to easily beat Hawaii 47-10 on their home field.

Last Saturday, Utah State's defense had an excellent game against UNLV and was able to help the Aggies pull off the 34-20 victory. They forced three turnovers in that win while forcing UNLV into committing three turnovers.

So far this season, the Aggies have relied heavily on their defense, which has only given up 21.9 points per game. Wide receiver Hunter Sharp has been Utah State's best player by catching 46 passes for 714 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterback Darell Garretson has thrown for 1,140 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions this season.

Hawaii had yet another poor offensive performance last weekend when they were beaten 26-18 by Nevada at home. They had just 102 rushing yards in that game and they only converted four of their 13 third down chances.

The Warriors have always been known for their offense, but this season they are only scoring 20.6 points per game against their opponents. Running back Steven Lakalaka has rushed for 559 yards with two touchdowns so far this season. Wide receiver Marcus Kemp has caught 35 passes for 481 yards in his team's first eight games.
