The public will blindly back Utah State at home as the favorite, but San Diego State is getting zero respect despite Utah State's injury cloud and SDSU's tournament-hardened identity. The crowd saw 'home favorite' and stopped thinking — Elzie Harrington's absence already cost SDSU against CSU, meaning the books have already priced in the bad news, and the Aztecs are due for a bounce-back. Fade the chalk, back the disrespected road dog.
