LOGAN — This is a pivotal year for the Utah State football team.
The Aggies, after several strong seasons, including a three-year stretch from 2012 to 2014 when they went 30-11, captured two Mountain West Conference division titles and won three bowl games, have been a dismal 15-23 over the subsequent three seasons.
So logically this looms as a critical season for the Aggies and coach Matt Wells, who will be in his sixth year as USU’s head coach.
With three straight losing seasons after two excellent seasons that came on the heels of Gary Andersen’s turnaround of a program that suffered through 13 straight losing seasons under three coaches, Wells’ future could be on the line.
