The BYU–Utah State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Brigham Young Cougars and Utah State Aggies.

They have met for the Old Wagon Wheel 63 times, dating back to 1948.^[1] However, the rivalry predates the Old Wagon Wheel trophy era. The rivalry series between the two schools was largely dominated in the early years by Utah State until 1974. For the next three decades, BYU generally dominated the series with BYU winning ten straight times before the Aggies defeated the Cougars 31–16 on October 1, 2010. With the victory, Utah State reclaimed the Old Wagon Wheel for the first time since 1993. The Old Wagon Wheel also returned to Utah State on October 3, 2014, when they beat BYU 35–20. Starting in 1981, the two teams have usually met on the first Friday of October, which has certain significance since it is generally the same weekend that the LDS Church holds its semiannual worldwide General Conference.^[2] The Aggies and Cougars currently plan to meet each other until 2016.^[3]

The battle for the Old Wagon Wheel is an important cultural event in the state of Utah given the longstanding rivalry between the two schools and the fact that majority of the student body at both schools recognize themselves to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many LDS families both within and without the state of Utah have familial ties to both institutions.
