The Utah State Aggies (7-5) represent the Mountain West Conference in taking on the Kent State Golden Flashes (6-6) from the MAC (Mid-American Conference) on Friday in the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl, just outside of Dallas.
Kent State is the only Division I/FBS school to win its final three games to become bowl eligible, coming off a punishing non-conference schedule which included road games against Auburn, Wisconsin, and Arizona State–all top 25 teams. Junior quarterback Dustin Crum led the Golden Flashes in both passing and rushing–2,336 passing yards and 560 yards on the ground–with 23 total touchdowns.
Utah State arrives in Texas with great intrigue surrounding its starting quarterback. Jordan Love was cited on possession of marijuana on Tuesday and his status for the game is unknown—he’s ultimately expected to play. All the same, the Aggies will lean heavily on running backs Gerold Bright and Jaylen Warren, who have combined for 1,388 rushing yards and 13 scores.

How to use AirTV with Sling
AirTV solves one of Sling’s biggest problems: The inability to receive all of your local channels. By purchasing a basic AirTV for $79.99 or the AirTV Player for $119.99, you can merge those local channels into your Sling TV, (or on your mobile device if you have the basic AirTV). As the Daily Dot wrote in its AirTV review, “It’s practically magic.”
The basic AirTV is a dual-tuner streaming device, while the AirTV Player is basically an upgraded Chromecast that has Netflix preinstalled. You’ll still need to own an HD antenna because even though AirTV gets you access to your local channels, it doesn’t actually physically show them to you.
But AirTV—which has no monthly fee—serves to strengthen one of Sling’s biggest weaknesses compared to other live streaming services like Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue. All those services have plenty of local channels. While select NFL and college football games (on Fox, FS1, and FS2) are no longer on Sling, you can still catch Fox games with AirTV.
2) Hulu with Live TV
- Cost: $44.99 per month
- Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android devices

Frisco Bowl: Why it matters
Simply put, Utah State chances will live and die with the availability of Love, who has declared for the NFL draft after passing for 8,283 yards and 57 touchdowns in three seasons. He has an NFL future and the matchup with Kent State is a final showcase for evaluators.
