The Mountain West formalized its football schedule Monday, and it eatures the Utah State Aggies 'opening conference play against Colorado State on Oct. 3.

The Aggies play at Fresno State on Oct. 10 then host Boise State on Oct. 17.

The remaining conference games are at San Diego State on Oct. 24, against Wyoming on Oct. 31, at New Mexico on Nov. 7, at Air Force on Nov. 14 and against Nevada on Nov. 21.

Some of the dates could change to Thursday or Friday dates once the Mountain West TV partners select which networks will broadcast the games.

Utah State opens the season against Southern Utah on Sept. 3 while other non-conference games are at Utah on Sept. 12, at Washington on Sept. 19 and against BYU on Nov. 28.

The Mountain West championship game will be held on Dec. 5.

At a glance, the 2015 conference schedule looks a little friendlier for the Aggies than last year's, when they played three of their final five conference games on the road, including the regular season finale against the Broncos.

Utah State finished 10-4 overall last year and went 6-2 in league play with the losses being a 16-13 decision at CSU and the 50-19 defeat to the Broncos.
