After an intense Big Ten environment last week, the Aggies will be relieved to be playing in front of their home crowd at Maverik Stadium.
"That does lift our guys," head coach Blake Anderson said about the home crowd. "It energizes. It is crucial to be in front of our home crowd."
But what makes The Hurd so special to the players and coaches? Tate Bennett, the executive director of athletics and campus recreation at Utah State, which is a peer-elected student position, explained that it's all rooted in the history of the program. For instance, Arizona State uses the "curtain of distraction," which features students doing wild, distracting things when the curtain opens as an opposing team attempts free throws. The school even invited Michael Phelps to join them for one of their games; he wore a grand collection of his olympic medals while donning his speedo, swim cap and goggles.
