"I've learned a lot from the coaches who've come and have just been helped by so many coaches and all the players who've come here," Borel said. "As a person I feel like I've grown as a man and understand certain things, from what happens on the field to just everything since I've been at Utah State." Despite his accomplishments - which include being USU's single season record holder in total offense (3,343 in 2008), rushing yards by a quarterback (632 in 2008), and fewest interceptions thrown (four in 2009) - Borel said his legacy remains incomplete, and will ultimately be defined by how the Aggies finish out their final two games against Idaho and Boise State. It's an attitude with which Borel's offensive coordinator couldn't agree more. "Our thoughts are to go out and win," Baldwin said. "We still got a shot in this thing, and the important thing is for us to win and for him to play well. It's his last home game - but it's more important that we win this game. Then he'll have a lot of memories about it." Borel has had a long and distinguished career at USU, and with his road about to come to an end, it's fitting his last home game comes not only against the team it began against, but under circumstances that will hopefully carry the Aggie program to new heights. "It's just been a long road since I've been here," he said. "I feel like everything is starting to happen right now. We've grown as a team - that's how you take steps, by winning. You learn from the losses and you learn from the wins and try to just move on." WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS - adam.nettina@aggiemail.usu.edu worldwide real estate auction 800.801.8003 FLIJ SHOTS!

Deadline: December 3, 2010 UtahState UNIVERSITY UTAH STATE'S OFFENSIVE LINE has paved the way for running back Derrvin Speight during the his back-to-back I 00-yard games against New Mexico State and San Jose State. Speight and the offensive line will take on Idaho (4-6) this Saturday when USU goes for three straight wins. STERLING BOIN photo Aggies prepare for Idaho By TAVIN STUCK! staff writer Utah State will have its Senior Day at the final home football game of the 2010 season when they take on the Vandals of the University of Idaho this Saturday, Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. Both teams will be lacking in the defensive back position due to suspensions and dismissals. Idaho will be without defensive Shileo Keo (suspension), while Utah State will not have linebacker inebacker Junior Keiaho, who was dismissed from the team. Idaho will also be without senior linebacker JoJo Dickson and tight end Daniel Hardy, who are both injured. Hardy is a Mackey award semifinalist and leads the team in receptions and receiving yards. Without Dickson and Keo in the Idaho secondary for at least the first half, Aggie senior running back Derrvin Speight should be able to continue his impressive rushing game. Speight has rushed for career highs in each of the last two games, and scored three touchdowns against San Jose State last week. Idaho has allowed opponents to rush for just under an average of 200 yards per game. Although Idaho's Hardy will not be playing, USU junior linebacker and team tackles leader Bobby Wagner will still have his hands full with Idaho senior Nathan Enderle at quarterback. Enderle is No. 7 on the NCAA FBS active career total offense list with 9,394 yards passing and -310 rushing. Sophomore receiver Justin Veltung has a team high of eight receiving touchdowns. Utah State will be looking to take advantage of the momentum earned in the last two games, with wins coming over New Mexico State and San Jose State. USU has not won three games in a row since 2001, and has never had three consecutive wins in WAC play. If they gain a victory over Idaho, Utah State will have earned its first five-win season since 2000 when they were 5-6. The game will be broadcast live on television on CW30. It can be heard on the radio on KVNU 102.1 FM or 610 AM. - tavin.stucki@aggiemaiLusu. edu How 'bout them Jazz! ally lead in the first half and After five of the most incredible and intense they lose.
