Utah State football: Aggies unveil football schedule for 2010

LOGAN — The kickoff times are not set in stone yet, but the dates and locations of Utah State's 2010 football games are now known.

The Aggies open the season with a tough one at Oklahoma, before a stretch of three home games in four weeks.

Of significance is a return to scheduling six home games, including non-conference foes Idaho State and BYU.

"Having these six home games, fits our plan for a balanced schedule that benefits our fans and our community," USU athletic director Scott Barnes said.

Six of USU's 2010 opponents played in bowl games last season.

"It will be extremely challenging to face three bowl teams in the first five games, so we will have to work extra hard in fall camp and be hitting on all cylinders from the get-go," Utah State coach Gary Andersen said.
