Report: Utah State offensive coordinator Mike Sanford heading to Minnesota

A Yahoo Sports report Friday said Mike Sanford, Jr., is heading to the University of Minnesota to fill its open offensive coordinator position. Sanford came to the Aggies with the addition of coach Gary Andersen last season.

Sanford led a USU offense that averaged 29.2 points and 431.4 yards of total offense per game. It also converted third downs at a rate of 42.6%.

Those numbers were down compared to the 2018 season, when USU scored nearly 50 points per game under OC David Yost. The Aggies went 11-2 last season and won their bowl game against North Texas.
