Oh boy, this is the spicy matchup every Mountain West fan has circled on the calendar. The return of Bronco Mendenhall to New Mexico but at the head of the Utah State Aggies. Lobo faithful have not forgiven Mendenhall for his betrayal in December and there's nearly a full season building up toward this moment.

This game should be billed as quintessential college football because despite both of these teams not being in the national picture, everything that makes college football great should be present. Passion between fanbases and hard-fought football from players and coaches seeking to prove themselves on the field.

This is the in-depth preseason preview of Utah State's eighth opponent of the season, the New Mexico Lobos.
