LOGAN, Utah - Iggy's Sports Bar and Grill in Logan will be hosting a watch party for Saturday's Utah State football game at San Jose State. The Western Athletic Conference showdown between the Aggies and the Spartans is being telecast on ESPNU with kickoff slated for 5:30 p.m. (MT) from SJSU's Spartan Stadium.

Iggy's is located at 2271 North Main in North Logan.

First-place in the WAC is at stake as Utah State and San Jose State are both 1-0 in league action, currently part of a four-team logjam atop the league standings, joined by Boise State and Nevada. Boise State plays a non-conference game at Southern Mississippi on Saturday while Nevada hosts New Mexico State Saturday afternoon. USU takes the league's longest conference-game winning streak into Saturday's match-up, as the Aggies have won three conference games in a row, dating back to last season.

USU will be trying for its first 2-0 start to conference play since 2000, the Aggies' final season in the Big West Conference.
