Mitch Mathews has several reasons to enjoy visiting Cache Valley -- mainly, family relations and the fact that he's dominated Utah State in recent years.

"I had my first career touchdown last time we played at Utah State," Mathews recalled on Monday while expressing excitement for this Saturday's matchup when the Cougars again travel to Logan. "They are a very good team, and rivalry games are always close. So, whatever their record is compared to ours doesn’t matter. We need to just throw that aside and play football."

Mathews also have plenty of family residing in Cache Valley, and he's excited to show off his gifts in front of his loved ones.

"All my aunts and uncles live in the Logan area so that definitely adds meaning to this week’s game," Mathews said. "Luckily, we wear the same colors as Utah State, but who knows what the shirt underneath will say. Hopefully, it says BYU."
