On Tuesday afternoon, Round II of the Gary Andersen era in Cache Valley got underway. The Utah State football program opened spring practice on a sunny afternoon in Logan for the first time since Andersen returned to coach the Aggies in December. The Aggies are coming off an 11-2 season in 2018, including a runaway 52-13 win over North Texas in the New Mexico Bowl.
Of the 91 players at Tuesday’s spring opener, nine are returning starters, including seven on defense. Returning in 2019 will be two All-Americans and eight players who earned various all-Mountain West Conference honors from the team that finished No.
