Brad Rock: 'Talent not an issue' but expectations are for USU's Gary Andersen

LOGAN — The shuttle bus lurching through the Maverik Stadium parking lot had a vehicle wrap that said “Dare Mighty Things.”

Gary Andersen must do the marketing at Utah State.

That’s the kind of slogan the Aggie football coach would use in the locker room. Daring mightily is just what he did when he became the school’s football coach in 2009. He took over a program that hadn’t had a winning season in 12 years and left with a team that went 11-2 and finished the season ranked No. 16 in the country. Now he’s back for his fifth spring football camp at USU, but his first since 2012 when he was hired away by Wisconsin.
