"Boise is a fine football team and it won't be an easy game," he says of the 2 Broncos, "but a really big win would pick a lot of people up around here. I think it would help us snap back fast." Hough's still convinced the Aggies have the talent to pull off successes this year even with the possibility of winning the final five straight, and before he starts talking about "quick backs" and a defense that has proved itself against the likes of Penn State, he talks about a pretty good strongside guard who lines up next to him each time the Aggies are on offense his "little" brother Jim. At 255, Jim Hough is 15 pounds heavier than Curt, and despite his team's staggering start still looms as one of the mountain region's finest offensive linemen. The last guy who wore number 71 for the Ags went on to spend several good seasons for the Rams (Merlin Olsen) and Jim Hough is probably the top pro prospect on the Aggie team.
