 FOOTBALL PREVIEW 2017 BREAKDOWN
THE BREAKDOWN
QUARTERBACKS
The Aggies success
this season will largely
prosper or falter with the
play of senior Kent Myers.
Currently sitting at ninth
on the all-time passing
yards list at USU, Myers
will be relied on to do bat-
tle with five other starting
senior quarterbacks in the
Mountain Division. Hell
also be asked to do so
with an entirely new offen-
sive system implemented
by new offensive coordi-
nator David Yost. The new
system may open things
up further for Myers both
through the air and on the
ground. Myers holds the
USU single-game record
for rushing yards by a QB
(191 yards against Colo-
10
DANIEL HANSEN
rado State in 2015) and his freshman year, hell
looks to feature heavily in
the Aggie rushing attack
this year after ranking as
the second-leading rusher
one year ago. Myers is
also Utah States all-time QB, Damion Hobbs,
leader in interception
rate, with only 14 inter-
ceptions on 679 career
attempts. In 2015, Myers man Jordan Love as the
had a touchdown-to-in-
terception ratio of 16:3
but saw that ratio drop
to only 10:8 last season,
albeit with an uptick while
throwing over 160 more
attempts and more than
800 more yards. For
Myers to fully deliver on
the potential so blatantly
shown since his injury-in-
duced emergency during
FOOTBALL PREVIEW
RUNNING BACKS
It has been four years since
Utah State last produced
a 1,000-yard rusher. Then,
Joey Demartino rushed for
1221 yards as a senior.
This years best bet to end
the drought is senior Tonny
Lindsey, who led the team in
rushing last season. Lindsey
amassed 763 yards on only
148 carries and could look
to eclipse the century mark
with a heavier workload this
season. Lindsey topped 100
yards in a game only twice
last season, at Colorado
State and Nevada, but re-
ceived 12 or fewer carries in
seven contests. With a yards
per carry average of 5.2 last
season, Lindsey would need

only 192 carries at the same
pace to top 1,000 yards on
a season. The last Aggie run-
ning back to top 192 carries
in a season, consequently,
was also Demartino in 2013.
Alongside Lindsey, senior La-
Juan Hunt and junior Justen
Hervey are looking to make
an impact in the backfield as
well. Hunt led the Aggies in
rushing three seasons ago
before relinquishing the title

just that. Andrus lists as a
6-4, 280 lbs tackle while
Castaneda, who also
spent time at Texas Tech,
comes in at 6-4 and 305
lbs. Junior Sean Taylor,
a redshirt last year after
transferring from junior
college, also appears to
factor heavily into the
rotation. Quin Ficklin
joined Utah State in the
spring after playing on
the line at BYU last sea-
son and projects as the
teams center. Freshmen
Alfred Edwards, Ty Shaw,
Demytrick alifua, Viliamu
McMoore, and Chandler
Dolphin look to provide
depth through the line.

 FOOTBALL PREVIEW 2017 BREAKDOWN
DEFENSIVE LINE
The secret to Utah States
recent run of defensive pres-
tige has relied heavily on a
stout run defense. From 2011
through 2016, the Aggies
finished within the top 50
rush defenses in the country
each season. Over that same
time, USU went 43-24. For
the team to return to the
success of recent years, the
defensive line will have to re-
turn to its elite form as well.
This years squad boasts little
experience, but oozes with
potential. The group will still
be led by two of its more ex-
perienced members in senior
Ian Tagiai and sophomoe
Mohelika Uasike. The pair
combined for eight starts
LINEBACKERS
Of the previous nine
Aggies drafted into the
NFL, one third have been
linebackers. With names
like Vigil, Fackrell, and
Wagner preceding them,
the pressure to perform
and lead the USU de-
fense from the linebacker
position is daunting. This
season, the group looks
to live up to the billing
of one Utah States most
storied positions. Return-
ing from last season are
junior Derek Larsen and
senior Alex Huerta, who
combined last season to
start 14 games and total
88 tackles on the year.
Junior Chas Christiansen
and sophomore Just Tei
both return with starting
experience as well. A
number of JC transfers
also arrive to reinforce
12
and 48 tackles last season.
Supporting the effort will
be junior Adewale Adeoye,
who played in seven games
a year ago, and JC transfer
Devon Anderson. Junior Gas-

A quartet of sophomores
are also available to
provide depth as Dalton

Tei boasts the intelligence you want
in a multidimensional linebacker, able
to play both inside and outside and
aware of his own potential to be a

Kent Myers introduced himself to Utah

State fans under the unlikeliest of circum-
stances. It was 2014, the fifth and final
year of quarterback Chuckie Keetons

when a rash of injuries tore through the
Aggies best laid plans.

Keeton, who starred in Aggie footballs

victory over Utah and sealed with a de-
finitive 41-15 Idaho Bowl beatdown over
Toledo, only made it three games into his

starting job fell to third stringer Craig

program had little choice but to call
on an entirely untested true freshman.
It was a road game in Hawaii, four
time zones away from his home teams
fans and their newly-acquired taste for
gridiron success, that Kent Myers took
his first snap as the teams starter 186
yards and three touchdowns later, Myers
was a hero.
Suddenly it was the Texas natives show.
Myers outing in Hawaii was near-per-
fect, and backed by a still-dominant
defense the Aggies scrapped their way to
four straight wins behind a fourth-string
signal-caller. The dual-threat QB
silenced any talk of merely being a
decent placeholder with a 48-yard first
quarter touchdown run in the New
Mexico Bowl the same year, a go-ahead
run that aided Utah State in its 21-6
victory over UTEP. It became clear the
future of Utah State football wore the
no. 2, and the recent streak of Aggie
bowl wins appeared safe for seasons
to come.
Nearly two years later, Myers cleaned
out a locker after a joyless 2016
campaign, eager to leave an unsatisfying
3-9 record in the rearview.
Thats why I said Im excited for this
year, Myers said of his final season,
because how are we going to battle
back from being 3-9? You dont want to
be 3-9 again. Ive never been 3-9. That
hurts.
The chip on Myers shoulder is clear.
Despite flashes of brilliance over the
course of nearly three years at the helm
of the Aggie offense, the seniors reputa-
tion will probably only ever be as good
as Utah States record. True, Myers isnt
without his flaws.
A statistical regression from his
sophomore season to a less-than-stellar
improved stats
myers
season best rushing touchdowns
career high throwing yards 449
junior year is undeniable his
completion percentage faltered, his total
touchdown passes dipped from 16 to 10
and eight interceptions marked a career
high. The drop in production owed
something to the lack of continuity at
the offensive coordinator position and a
below-average offensive line, but even in
what head coach Matt Wells terms the
ultimate team sport, Myers knows its
the quarterback that ultimately answers
for the teams successes and failures.
Somewhat under the radar, 2016 also
saw Myers shoulder significantly more
of the offensive load, surpassing his
sophomore season by nearly 1,000
passing yards and setting career highs in
yards on the ground (449) and rushing
touchdowns (six). Despite signs of Myers
maturing into one of the more
dangerous quarterbacks in the
6 conference, the crushing nature of last
seasons close losses seemed to eclipse
any positive developments in his game.
We won three games, but really we
shouldve won at least four of them you
know, Myers said. There were some
close games that either we didnt finish
or we didnt start fast enough. I really
think if we dial down those mistakes
shoot, we wouldve won seven games
and nobody would be talking about us
being in last place.
Its tough to recall Myers leading a
flawless eight play, 74-yard drive against
Colorado State, or the equally impres-
sive 60-yard scoring drive on the Aggies
next possession. Myers ability to pick
up on CSUs disguised blitzes early gave
the elusive senior ample opportunity
to pick apart the Rams defense with
quick passes to the sidelines, tucking it
himself to complete the drives with a
pair of nifty touchdown runs. No, those
positives were buried under a sec-
ond-half collapse that saw a rejuvenated
CSU defense hold the Aggies final four
possessions to two punts, a turnover on
downs and an interception.
When Myers is on, hes on. The senior
still owns the lowest career interception
rate of any quarterback in program
history, with 31 touchdowns to his
credit and just 14 interceptions in 679
passes. Hes the only Aggie quarterback
in the modern era to rush for three
touchdowns in a game, set the USU
single-game record for rushing yards by
a quarterback (191) and still holds the
Mountain West single-game record for
completion percentage (93.3 percent).
But when the confident swagger of a
guy whos been staring down Division
I defenses since the tender age of 19
fades, so too does the fleeting impression
that he can single-handedly take over a
game. Now, with just 12 games to prove
Myers mania was no fluke, the senior
is hungry for more than just a
comeback season.
For us to be successful, I know coach
Wells always says it, our best players are
going to have to play their best year,
Myers said.

The goal is the same its always been com-

Myers said. We were 3-9. Im a 3-9 starting
quarterback. Dallin [Leavitt] is a 3-9 starting
safety. Coach Wells is a 3-9 head coach. I like
to look at what were doing right now.
What the Aggies are doing now includes trust-

FOOTBALL PREVIEW 2017 MYERS
Glaring mental weakness showed down the
stretch in 2016, as the team appeared to lack
all resolve in losses both at home to New
Mexico and in Reno. The Aggies played not to
lose, wilting under the weighty expectation to
survive a gutted front seven and remain one of
the conferences premier defenses. For Leavitt,
the undisputed vocal leader of USUs stacked
secondary, the underdog role is nothing new.
It pisses me off. Really. Its disrespect,
Leavitt said. People think well only win
3-4 games or whatever they said. Last place
basically. I mean I understand where theyre
coming from, but its disrespect. I think weve
got something to prove.
For Utah State to rebound as a program back
to the days of bowl wins and Mountain West
title contention, itll take the best Myers has to
offer. Better pocket awareness, more guts to try
the deep ball and an emphasis on his dynamic
dual-threat abilities feels like a tall order. By
seasons end, Myers will clean out his locker
for the last time, his final game as a college
quarterback in the rearview only this time,
hell be satisfied.
We have nothing to lose, Myers said. They

change the perception of
Aggie football. Sopho-

Hervey would obviously
benefit with a year of rel-

The defensive line, the
long-time heart of the suc-
cess of the Aggie defense,
is also set for a renais-
sance. Two years ago, the
line was hit hard when four
of its members, Adewale
Adeoye, Edmund Faima-
lo, John Taylor, and Travis
Seefeldt were all involved
in a car accident in June
of 2015. The following
offseason, DE Brady Holt

process. All five players

survived their ordeals,
and in Holts case, the re-
covery has been nothing
short of miraculous. Only
Adeoye, now a junior, re-
mains on the roster, the
rest having since graduat-
ed or retired. As the trag-
edy of the last two off-sea-
sons continues to heal, the
line looks to reclaim its
spot as not just one of the
MWs best, but as one of
the best in the country.
The road ahead for Utah
State football is still tough.
Boise State, Wyoming,
Colorado State, and BYU
all venture to Maverik Sta-
dium this season, posing a
brutal home schedule for
the Aggies, who attained
all three victories last sea-
son on Merlin Olsen Field.
The road harbors no safe-
ty either, however, as the
Aggies face four bowl
winners from a year ago
away from Cache Val-
ley. And USU hasnt won
away from home since
Fresno State in 2015, one
week prior to that infa-
mous Boise State game.
Bowl eligibility is certainly
a possibility this season,
but it will be no bed of ros-
es and no pleasure cruise.
But as the clich goes, the
hottest fires produce the
hardest steel. This years
rendition of Aggie football
is rough around the edges
and needs its share of re-
finement. Players and staff
alike will share in at least
some of that sentiment.

or harden them like dia-
monds.

record since 2008 last
season. The defense is
the strength of the squad,
ranking in the top 40 in the

The Rams switched from a
4-3 base defense in 2015
to their current 3-4 scheme
under DC Marty English
and are still adapting. With
eight returning starters on
defense, this year may
bring a quantum leap. The
linebackers are stacked, re-
turning senior Evan Colori-
to and junior Josh Watson,
who ranked a respective
fourth and second in tackles
last season. If a weak link
exists for the Rams, its in
the secondary. Sophomore
cornerback Anthony Haw-

This year, the sophomore
looks to play an integral

Defensively, the Pokes
are anchored by two-time
all-conference safety An-
drew Wingard. Last sea-
son he led the team with
131 tackles and added
two interceptions and two
forced fumbles. Like his
offensive counterpart at
quarterback, Wingard
is already getting some
early NFL attention. The
rest of the defense is less
effective, however. Wyo-
ming allowed more than
450 yards per game and
finished outside the top
100 in points allowed per
game, giving up more than
34 per outing. In fact, only
once did the Cowboys
hold an opponent under
20 points. If the offense
takes a step back, will the
defense be able to make
up the gap?
UNLV
HOME OF THE REBELS
Defense will likely be a
weakness for UNLV again
this year. Only three start-
ers return from a unit that
allowed more than 35
points per game last sea-
son. The strength of the de-
fense is the tackle position,
anchored by seniors Jason
Fao and Mike Hughes Jr.

perienced and will need to
develop rapidly. Lineback-
