4 Web sites that sponsor “message boards” or “chat rooms” where people
are allowed to post anonymous information or rumors are ineligible for credentials or access to media functions.

individual whose web site is not affiliated with a recognized news-gathering
organization.
4 All credentials are non-transferable and are subject to immediate revocation if transferred to non-working members of a media outlet.

Named for E.L. “Dick” Romney, Utah State’s all-time winningest football coach and former athletics director, Romney Stadium was officially dedicated on Sept. 27, 1969. The first game in Romney Stadium
history came on Sept. 14, 1968, when Utah State defeated New Mexico
State, 28-12.
There has been one major stadium addition since 1969. Thanks to a
massive volunteer effort in 1980, 10,000 seats were added to the southern bowl which brought the capacity of the stadium to 25,513.
Prior to the 1997 season, approximately 4,000 chairback seats replaced wooden bleachers on the west side of the stadium.
Ahead of the 1999 season, new scoreboards were added at each
end of the stadium and additional bleacher seats were installed as
well. New aluminum bleachers replaced wooden bleachers on the
lower sections of the east side of the stadium in 2001. In 2003 that project expanded to the upper sections.
In the summer of 2004, the bent bluegrass field was replaced with a
state of the art synthetic turf by SprinTurf.
Prior to the 2005 season a new south end entrance, improved concession stands and restroom facilities as well as a widened concourse
on the east side of the stadium were completed.
Immediately after the 2006 season, the old north endzone complex was torn down and replaced with a three-story, 55,000 square
foot facility. The Jim and Carol Laub Athletics-Academics Complex
serves to meet the academic and athletic needs of all 16 Utah State
University intercollegiate sports. The state-of-the-art facility houses
the Dale Mildenberger Sports Medicine Complex and the Dr. John
Worley Sports Medicine Research Center, the Steve Mothersell Hall
of Fame, equipment room, lockerrooms, coaches offices, meeting
rooms, luxury suites and a student-athlete academic center.
A future phase of improvement will include a new press box and
luxury suites on the west side of the stadium.

The stadium was designed specifically for football with all seats,
until the 1980 expansion, located between the 15-yard lines and all
directed toward the 50-yard line. The first row of seats on the east,
west and south sides are elevated eight-feet above the playing field
and within 30 feet of the sidelines. Like most stadiums, the field runs
north and south.
The glass-enclosed press box, located on the stadium’s west side,
was renovated in 1997 and features closed-circuit television monitors
for replays. The press box can comfortably accommodate 36 writers
with facilities for radio and TV broadcasters.
The stadium was financed by a student body which believed in athletics to the extent of underwriting a special bonding assessment for
both Romney Stadium and the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, which serves
as home to USU’s basketball, gymnastics and volleyball teams.
The continuing growth of Utah State’s campus prompted University
planners to relocate the original Romney Stadium, which was built in
1927 on the grounds where the Health, Physical Education and Recreation building now stands. That facility was dedicated on Oct. 8, 1927,
in recognition of Coach Romney’s lasting contributions to Utah State
football. Romney, who guided the Aggies to four conference championships, compiled a 128-91-16 record (.579 winning percentage) in 29
seasons (1919-48).
That structure served as Utah State’s home for 41 seasons (1927-67).
Utah State played its final game in the old complex on Nov. 11, 1967,
as the Aggies defeated Montana, 20-14.
Over the past 41 seasons, Utah State has compiled a 105-88 mark
(.544 winning percentage) in Romney Stadium. Only 13 times in the
40-year history of the stadium has Utah State experienced a losing
record at home.
Utah State’s largest crowd to witness a game in Romney Stadium
was 33,119 in a 45-17 loss to Brigham Young on Oct. 4, 1996.

Utah State will be taking the field for the
111th season of football
in 117 years. USU took
the field for the first time
on Nov. 25, 1892 and
defeated intra-state
rival Utah, 12-0.
Utah State’s student section, known simply as The HURD, supports the Aggies football team every home
game, as many as 4,000 strong, and some selected road games. The HURD is Utah State’s spirit club for all
athletics. It is currently the largest club of Aggie students at Utah State. The HURD attends Coach’s Shows,
Sports Nights, tailgate parties, pre, post and away-game parties, pep-rallies, and even road trips are just
some of the activites that The HURD provides at-least once a week for all of its members.
Show ‘Em Your “A”
In 1909, the first senior
class gift was an “A”
placed on the west
side of Old Main tower.
The “A,” now on all four
sides of the tower, can
be seen throughout the
valley, especially at
night when lit in white.
For special occasions
and athletic wins, the
“A” shines blue.
“Our student-section, cheerleaders and band are electric. They generate so much
excitement and they are so loud. They have our back and support us a ton. Our students do a great job of being in the game and knowing what’s going on and staying
supportive. It’s awesome to play in front of them.”
WR Omar Sawyer
Ogden, Utah
GAME DAY
The Utah State Spirit Squad, consisting of the Aggiettes Dance Team, the Cheer Squad and the Big Blue
mascot, encourages enthusiastic student participation at Aggie
athletic events, promoting USU pride through new ideas, traditions and activities.
Utah State teams were
nicknamed “Big Blue”
by the Logan Journal
as early as 1916, an apparent reference to the
Blue Ox of Paul Bunyon
stories.
Utah State adopted
the official school
colors of Blue and
White in a special
meeting of USU faculty on Nov. 7, 1901.
“Meet the Challenge,” a
2,500-pound bronze sculpture by
former Utah State football player
Mike Hamby is located across the
street from Romney Stadium.
When USU athletics began,
Utah State was known as
the Utah Agricultural College. The first USU athletics
teams were nicknamed
the “Farmers.” Aggies, a
contraction of Agriculturalists, first appeared in the
late 1890’s.
HAIL THE UTAH AGGIES
Hail the Utah Aggies, we’ll play the game with all our might.
See the colors flying, the Aggie blue and fighting white.
How they stir us onward; we’ll win the victory all right.
Hail the Utah Aggies; we’re out to win, so fight, fight, fight!
Utah State, Hey!
Aggies all the way!
Go Aggies! Go Aggies!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Utah State’s strength and conditioning program is in its second year under new leadership after Jacob Scharnhorst took over in
March, 2008.
Scharnhorst came to Utah State following a
three-year stint at the University of Mississippi
where he served as an assistant strength and
conditioning coach. While at Ole Miss, he
coordinated the strength program for the
men’s basketball squad and assisted with
the football team.
“The strength and conditioning staff are great. They are consistently pushing
everyone to get faster and stronger. They always make sure that we do everything right, whether that be doing the drills right or making sure that we’re
eating the right things.
Scharnhorst replaced Mark Uyeyama who
resigned to accept a similar position with the
San Francisco 49ers of the National Football
League.
The new equipment is awesome. It’s easier to move around from station to
station and the staff can monitor everyone’s workouts.”
This past summer, the weight room underwent a complete renovation, with the
installation of new equipment, as well as a
nutrition station to adhere and monitor the
student-athletes dietary intake for optimal
performance.

UTAH STATE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
MISSION STATEMENT:
“A strength and conditioning coach is vital to the development
of collegiate athletes. As strength and conditioning coaches, our
two main objectives are to improve performance capabilities and
to reduce the likelihood of injuries. These objectives are achieved
through a multi-faceted program, working to challenge and develop athletes in a variety of different areas. We work to develop
better all-around athletes, in the effort to give sport coaches a
better product on the court or field. All areas of the strength and
conditioning program requires an athlete’s maximal effort and
focus to obtain the desired results.
The foundation of the strength-training program resides in groundbased, multi-joint exercises utilizing free-weights. Variations of the
Olympic lifts, squatting, pressing and pulling exercises will develop
strength, power, balance and coordination. Speed, footwork,
plyometrics and agility drills will increase straight-ahead speed,
foot-speed, explosive power and change of direction capabilities.
Proprioception drills will work to increase an athlete’s balance and
body awareness, while static and dynamic flexibility exercises will
improve joint range-of-motion and help reduce the probability of
soft tissue injuries. Sport-specific conditioning will prepare athletes
to compete at their highest level, utilizing work-to-rest ratios and
drills specific to game competition.
A well designed and coached strength and conditioning program
will build mentally and physically tough student-athletes. In addition, the program will constantly strive to build team cohesiveness,
accountability and athletes with a strong work ethic.
As a strength and conditioning staff we are always striving to
improve our knowledge base and coaching abilities in order to
enhance our program and in turn provide our student-athletes
with all the resources possible to meet their potential as individuals and as a team.”

Utah State’s new state-of-the art Dale Mildenberger Sports
Medicine Complex and the Dr. John Worley Sports Medicine
Research Center, were officially dedicated by USU President
Stan Albrecht in a ceremony in February, 2008. The 11,000
square-foot facility is one of the finest sports medicine areas
in the country, featuring 30 athletic training tables, three hydro
treatment pools and an on-site rehabilitation area.
“The athletic training staff is completely dedicated to helping us recover from our injury and get back to action as soon as we can. I felt a lot stronger after my injury than
I did before. The technology that they use is phenomenal and ranks among the best
in the nation.”
“Our athletic training facilities are incredible and are equivalent of a big-time program. They’re the best in the state as well as the conference.”

For the fourth straight year, Utah State led the Western Athletic Conference in number
of academic all-league honorees as the Aggies landed 181 student-athletes on the
academic all-WAC teams in 2008-09. USU has only been in the league four years
as it joined the conference in July, 2005.
Overall, it is the 10th time in the last 11 years that Utah State has had the most academic all-league honorees as it led the Big West Conference in 2000 and 2002-05. In
2001, the Aggies ranked second in the Big West in academic selections.
Additionally, Utah State’s athletics department recognized 150 student-athletes for
achieving a 3.2 grade point average at the 15th annual Joe E. and Elma Whitesides
Scholar-Athlete Luncheon. To be eligible for the honor, student-athletes must have
a cumulative 3.2 grade point average or have posted a 3.2 GPA during the last
two semesters.
In all, approximately 45 percent of USU’s student-athletes earned a 3.2 GPA to
qualify for the awards.
“The Student-Athlete Services office provides studentathletes will every resource to succeed in the classroom. They help us set up meetings with professors,
advisors and tutors, as well as helping us plan and set
goals so that we can graduate with our degree.”
“They are pivotal in keeping us on the right track with
which classes to take at the right time, and they watch
our back so that we can remain eligible. I would say
that they are the hammer behind the nail for our academic success and they don’t get acknowedged
enough for the countless hours that they work with us.”

Members of the Utah State football team took part in the “Walk A Mile In
Her Shoes” event on the USU campus, and for the second year in a row,
earned a commemorative trophy for having the most members of a group
participate.
The USU Sexual Assault Anti-Violence Intervention (SAAVI) group sponsored
the event in recognition of April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
It is an annual designation designed to shed light on a problem that affects
college women and men in epidemic proportions. The “Walk a Mile in Her
Shoes Day” is a way to get men involved in the cause of ending violence
against women.
“We’re out here to support SAAVI, a great campus group putting on this event.
I always wondered what it was like to wear these shoes and it is bad. It’s a
lot harder than it looks and it’s killing my feet, but it’s a small price to pay for
helping this great cause.”

Utah State’s football team performs
several community service projects, including “Walk A Mile In Her Shoes,” and
participating in the annual Truck Pull to
benefit Special Olympics. Members of the
football team also participate in several
community activities, including parades
and reading at elemenatry schools.
For the third year in a row, a group of Utah State offensive linemen
used “pull hard” as the common theme and won the State Truck
Pull Championships title, an event that benefits the Logan chapter
of the Special Olympics.
The competition consisted of pulling a 40,000-pound truck 20 feet
in a timed event.
The Aggie linemen along with USU’s mascot, Big Blue, gave a pulling hand to other teams as well as mingled and took pictures with
the Special Olympians.
“We love coming out and being a part of this to help the community
and the Special Olympian athletes. This is a great time out here, it’s
the third time we’ve been out here and it’s fun every time. It’s great
to come out and meet everyone, meet the fans and let them know

See it. hear it. feel it.

On a brisk December afternoon, at the press conference announcing his hiring, new Utah State head coach Gary Andersen made the
proclamation, “Why not us, Why not now?”
That statement has not only heated up Utah State football, firing
up the enthusiasm to levels that had not been felt among the Aggie faithful in quite some time, but has been the mantra through the
spring and summer, gearing up for a sizzling fall.
Andersen takes over the reins of an Aggie squad that posted a
3-9 overall and 3-5 Western Athletic Conference record in 2008,
marking the first time since 2005 that the Aggies had three wins in a
season. USU also won three WAC games in a season for the first time
in the Aggies’ four years in the league. It is also the first time since
2003 that USU won three conference games and just the third time
in the 2000’s.
The cupboard was well-stocked for Andersen’s arrival at the helm
of the Aggies, as Utah State has 21 starters returning (10 offense, seven defense and four special teams), which are a portion of USU’s 48
returning lettermen.
Among the returners are all five of the top rushers from last season, who helped the Aggies amass 1,653 rushing yards, the most
since 1,941 in 1999.
Technically speaking, one of the returning running backs isn’t
returning to the offensive backfield, as former running back Curtis
Marsh will be roaming USU’s defensive backfield, one of 15 position
changes made by the defensive-minded Andersen regime during
spring drills. One of the main purposes of these changes was getting speed in the appropriate places to fit into Andersen’s aggressive defensive scheme, under the direction of defensive coordinator Bill Busch.
USU’s defense returns seven starters, anchored by linebacker Paul
Igboeli and safety James Brindley. Igboeli, a returning all-WAC honoree, is expected to be on the Butkus Award Watch List as he was
last year, which is among his growing preseason accolade collection. Brindley has shown steady progress throughout his career and is
expected to have a big season, guiding the defensive backfield.
On the other side of the ball, the offense is led by junior quarterback Diondre Borel and sophomore running back Robert Turbin, who
will pass behind and run through holes created by the senior center
Brennan McFadden-led offensive line.

The talented, explosive duo of junior QB Dinodre Borel (#12) and
sophomore TB Robert Turbin (#6) are expected to have big seasons in
the new spread offense implemented by offensive coordinator and
spread offense mastermind Dave Baldwin.
30
The versatile Borel is expected to continue his impressive progress
in the Aggies’ new spread offense, under the direction of offensive
guru Dave Baldwin. Borel was one of seven QB’s in the country to
lead their respective teams in both rushing and passing in 2008, and
is figured to have bigger numbers this year, especially since he will
be the full-time starter after coming in as a back-up in the first part of
last season.
Turbin is a powerful, speedy runner who is dangerous out of the
backfield as a receiver as well. Returning all-WAC center McFadden
anchors an offensive line that has plenty of experience back, returning eight players who started at least two games last season.
Last year, USU had two wins in its grasp, but a last second 58-yard
field goal and yielding a TD late in the game dealt the Aggies losses
to Fresno State and Louisiana Tech, respectively. This season, the
Andersen-led Aggies are focused on finishing, and have veteran experience on both sides of the ball, as well as special teams.
The strong-footed duo of senior Chris Ulinski and junior Peter
Caldwell give USU solid weapons in the kicking game as both are
interchangeable between punting and placekicking duties. The Aggies’ return game is also anchored by a veteran in senior Kejon Murphy, who will return punts and kickoffs. Sophomore Chris Harris, junior
Michael Smith and senior Omar Sawyer will also be returning kickoffs,
while senior James Brindley will back-up Murphy on punt returns.

Even with seven starters, the Utah State defense has a long road
ahead of them for the 2009 season. Along with the offense, the defense is drastically changing the way they play under Andersen, by
implementing a pressure defense featuring man-to-man coverage.
Using a pressure defense is a new experience for the returning
players. In the past, the team played a more conservative defensive
style but now they need to learn to be more aggressive and gain
speed, something that Andersen implemented immediately upon his
arrival on the USU campus.
Andersen knows a thing or two about defense, as he was defensive coordinator at Utah for five years, shining in last season’s Sugar
Bowl, holding then No. 4 ranked Alabama to 31 yards rushing in the
game, 165 yards below its average, as well as sacking the Crimson
Tide eight times. Utah finished the season ranked No. 2 in the AP Polls,
as well as 11th in the NCAA in total defense.
The Utah State defense, whose seven returning starters are part of
24 returning defensive lettermen, will try to put more pressure on the
opposing offense and the quarterback to make perfect plays. But
doing this leaves fewer players on the field to cover the receivers,
and this is where speed comes in.
Andersen and Busch have moved some players around in the defensive scheme, where their speed will be utilized.
As the defense pressures the other team’s offense, they need to
have the speed to cover the receivers and make the plays.
One of such players is Brindley, who enters his senior season ranked
No. 2 on USU’s career interception return list with 186 yards on six interceptions. Last season Brindley had three interceptions, which led USU
and was tied for eighth in the WAC along with tied for 96th in NCAA.
He also made 75 tackles (44 solo, 31 assists), which was third for USU

Quick Facts
After averaging just 24.0 points and 334 yards per game on offense
during the 2008 season, Andersen and his staff are in the process of
upgrading Utah State’s offense and installing one of the most exciting and fast-paced offensive schemes in college football today
- The Spread Offense, guided by offensive coordinator Baldwin, who
comes to USU from New Mexico.
The Spread Offense utilizes the no-huddle with the quarterback
in shotgun formation much of the time with three, four or even five
wide receivers. The goal of the spread offense is to open vertical
seams for both the running and passing game, and force the defense to spread itself horizontally across the field in an attempt to
cover everyone.
With its new offense, Utah State is hopeful that its offensive production will be comparable to other school’s that utilize a version
of the Spread Offense, including WAC foe Nevada, who has traditionally been one of the top offensive teams in the nation with its
`Pistol’ attack.
Despite all the terminology and schemes that go into implementing a new offense, Utah State’s learning curve shouldn’t be as long
as normal as it returns 10 starters and 21 lettermen on the offensive
side of the ball.
Among those returning for Andersen and Baldwin is Borel, who is just
as effective running the ball as he is throwing it. During the 2008 season,
Borel started the final nine games and led the team with 1,705 passing
yards and 632 rushing yards, while throwing for 11 TDs and rushing for
five more. Borel was one of seven quarterbacks in the entire country to
lead their respective teams in both rushing and passing.
Highlighting the talented group of running backs that Andersen
and Baldwin were impressed with in the spring is Turbin, who rushed
for 485 yards last year, scored a team-high eight touchdowns, and
averaged 4.6 yards per carry.
Turbin will be joined in the backfield by junior transfer Michael
Smith, a 1,000-yard rusher last season at Eastern Arizona.
Other returnees include sophomore Marquis Butler who ran for 171
yards and scored two touchdowns last year, and fellow sophomore
Ronald Scott, who had 141 rushing yards and averaged 9.4 yards per
attempt in 2008. Junior Derrvin Speight, who led the team in rushing
as a freshman in 2007 as he gained 504 yards on 129 carries, returns
to the backfield after an injury-plagued 2008 season.
Another offensive group that returns a wealth of experience in
2009 is at wide receiver/tight end as Utah State returns four starters
in all, including three wide outs in seniors Xavier Bowman and Nnamdi Gwacham, along with sophomore Stanley Morrison, who had a
combined 55 catches for 762 yards and five scores a year ago. Senior tight end Jeremy Mitchell also returns for the Aggies after recording 66 yards last season on six receptions, while junior Jerome Barbour
and sophomore Tarren Lloyd give USU multiple options at tight end.
Utah State also returns four starters and eight letterwinners on the
offensive line, including senior Brennan McFadden who earned second-team all-WAC honors a year ago after starting the first seven
games of the season at
right guard before moving to the center position. That experience
and versatility up front
for the Aggies will definitely be a factor in how
quickly they grasp the
new offense.
McFadden will be
joined by junior left
tackle Spencer Johnson,
who has 19 career starts,
while the sophomore
guard duo of Funaki Asisi
and Philip Gapelu have
five each. Junior Tariq
Polley has two starts at
right tackle.

Kevin Goessling of Fresno State as time expired to beat USU, 30-28. It was
also the fourth-longest field goal in the NCAA of the season.
Murphy will handle punt return duties and share kickoff return action

yards, held by Tony Adams from 1972.
University
Junior PK/P Peter Caldwell (#8)
made 10 field goals last season
capping USU drives in the red
zone, as the Aggies led the WAC
and ranked tied for third in the
NCAA in red zone effeciency,
scoring on 94 percent of their
red zone possessions. Caldwell is
climbing his way up USU’s career
field goals and PAT lists.

• Turbin’s eight rushing TD’s last season put him five shy of USU’s career
top-10 list, trailing three players with
13 each in Jerry Cox (1973-74), Jerry
Hughes (1971-72) and Altie Taylor
(1966-68).
Opponents
Utah State led the WAC and was tied for third in the NCAA with a
94.1 percent red-zone scoring efficiency in 2008, scoring on 32 of its
34 possessions in the red zone... USU was tied with Miami (Fla.), who
was 44-of-47, while Ohio State (39-of-41) and UNLV (35-of-37) tied for
the nation’s lead at 95 percent... The Aggies were the only team in
the conference in the 90’s percentage, as Fresno State was second
at 88.9 percent (40-of-45)... USU and Fresno State were also the only
two teams in the league without a turnover in the red zone and the
Aggies were one of four teams in the conference who didn’t turn
the ball over on downs... Utah State’s two non-scoring red zone
attempts came in the Idaho game on Sept. 20 with a missed field
goal and against BYU on Oct. 3 when the game ended while the
Aggies were driving.
Coaching Staff
• Sophomore RB Robert Turbin had
three rushing TD’s vs. Louisiana Tech

Coaching Staff
The Aggies
For the first time ever, Utah State and Romney Stadium will host a
game on the ESPN family of networks when ESPN2 will air the Boise
State-USU game on Nov. 20.
• The 2009 ledger marks the third time in last four years that the Aggies have had five home games in a season after six home games
on the slate last year.
• Utah State will play a 12-game schedule for the fourth year in a row
and the seventh time in the program’s history.
• The 2009 season marks the second time in the last three years that
Utah State has opened the season with two-straight road games.
ANDERSEN NOTE-ABLE
• New Utah State head coach Gary Andersen will be reaching a
rare plateau in USU’s season-opener on Sept. 3, when he leads the
Aggies into action against his former team Utah... Since 1982, only
two other head coaches in college football have began the season
against their former team from the season before.
Virginia - In 1982, George Welsh coached his first game at Virginia
against Navy, the school he coached at before going to UV.
Northwestern - In 1999, Randy Walker opened his Northwestern
head coaching career by facing his former school, Miami (Ohio).
He was the head coach at Miami from 1990-98.
• The Aggies play four of their first five games away from home,
matching the 2003 season, which opened with three consecutive
road games.
• For the first time since 2001, Utah State will play at both Utah and
BYU in the same season.
• USU will face three teams who finished in the AP Top 25, leading off
with No. 2 Utah on Sept. 3, followed by No. 25 BYU on Oct. 2 and No.
11 Boise State on Nov. 20.
• Utah State plays Southern Utah in its
home opener on Sept. 26, marking the
Aggies’ first I-AA (Football Championship Series) opponent since 2002 (Idaho
State).
Toledo - In 1991, Gary Pinkel of Toledo played at Washington in
the fifth game of the season, where he was defensive coordinator
the previous season.
• The Sept. 26 home opener is tied
with San Jose State for the latest home
opener in the WAC and is tied with
four others for the second-latest home
opener in the country... Florida Atlantic
has the latest home opener of Oct. 3.
• Andersen will be trying to become the first new Aggie head coach
to win in his debut since Phil Krueger in 1973, as his eight predecessors
all lost their debuts.
University
• Andersen is the second coach in USU history to open their coaching career against Utah, as Dave Arslanian began his Aggie tenure
against the Utes on Sept. 5, 1998.
• The Utah State Aggies will face two
others Aggies this season, first against
the Texas A&M Aggies on Sept. 19,
then the New Mexico State Aggies on
Oct. 10... USU is the only school in the
country to play its same mascot two
other times this season.
• Andersen also faces another former team when he and the Aggies
make their home debut against Southern Utah on Sept. 26... Andersen was head coach at Southern Utah in 2003.
WAC
• At 45, Andersen is the second-youngest head coach in the WAC
behind Boise State’s Chris Peterson, by six months.
SCHEDULE NOTE-ABLE
• For the first time ever, Utah State will have a home game on the
ESPN family of networks when ESPN2 will air the Boise State-USU game
on Nov. 20.
• It is the first time that the Aggies have been on national television since the 1997 Humanitarian Bowl game in Boise, Idaho, as that
game was televised on ESPN2.

Senior S James Brindley
(#3) will lead the USU
Aggies against two other
Aggies this season when
USU plays at the Aggies
from Texas A&M and New
Mexico State.
• This will be the first meeting between
Utah State and Texas A&M, and completes USU against the current schools
of the Big 12 Conference... It is only
the second conference that the Aggies have played a league’s complete
membership, joining the Mountain West
Conference.
2009 Outlook

At New Mexico State (Oct. 10) - The clash of the Aggies had been
USU’s season-finale in three of the last four years, coincidentally the
four years that both USU and NMSU have been in the WAC... However, this season the teams square-off in USU’s league-opener... The
navy Aggies are 27-6 vs. the maroon Aggies, winning six of the last
nine meetings after a stretch of 19 wins in a row... USU is 2-2 at Las Cruces, winning its last two visits there, 24-21 in 2005 and 35-17 in 2007.
At Idaho (Nov. 28) - Utah State and Idaho either open conference
action or close out the season against each other, as they face each
other in the regular-season finale for the second time in the last three
years, but have opened league action the other time in that stretch
four seasons out of the previous five... The Aggies lead the series 1716-2, winning the last two in a row and nine of the last 14 meetings...
USU is 8-9-1 at Moscow, holding on for a 24-19 win there in 2007.
University
At Brigham Young (Oct. 2) - The BYU series is USU’s second-longest
with the 79th meeting, trailing the 108 meetings with Utah... USU trails
the series 33-42-3, including 16-24-1 at Provo, last visiting there in
2006... The Aggies have lost nine in a row in the series, with the last win
coming in 1993... USU has lost 14 in a row at Provo, last winning there
in 1978... USU and BYU played every year from 1946 to 2003 with two
exceptions (1995 and 1998), but have only played twice since, a 38-0
BYU win at Provo in 2006 and a 34-14 win at Logan last season.
Boise State (Nov. 20) - Boise State has won eight-straight in the series
after the Aggies beat the Broncos in both 1996 and 1997... USU is 2-5

been nationally ranked in each of the last three meetings, ranked
No. 9 last year, No. 19 in 2007 and No. 13 in 2006.
Records
Southern Utah (Sept. 26) - USU faces in-state foe SUU for only the
second time ever and the first since 2000, when the Aggies hosted
the Thunderbirds and won 30-14, which was also USU’s home opener
that season... SUU is USU’s first I-AA (Football Championship Series)
opponent since 2002 (Idaho State)... The Aggies are a combined 7417-6 against FCS teams... USU head coach Gary Andersen was 4-7
as SUU head coach in 2003, his lone season in Cedar City, bettering
the T-Birds’ win total of the previous three seasons combined... USU is
48-28-2 (.628) all-time on Homecoming.
Season Review
San Jose State (Nov. 14) - USU is 1-10 against SJSU in the last 11 meetings, last winning in 2005, as the Spartans have won 12 of the last 14
match-ups with the Aggies and lead the all-time series, 20-10-1... USU
is 7-8 vs. SJSU in Logan, winning 24-17 in 2005 but dropping a 23-20
game in 2007.
Opponents
At Hawai’i (Nov. 7) - Last year’s USU win snapped a three-game losing skid to UH, and the Aggies now lead the series, 5-4... The Warriors
hold a 3-2 lead on the islands, winning the last two after USU won
the previous two games there, last winning in 1966... The Aggies and
Warriors first met in 1927, did not play each other from 1966-2005, and
have played the last four seasons since as WAC foes.
Coaching Staff
Fresno State (Oct. 31) - Based on the recent pattern, USU is due for
a win in this series, after a USU win is followed by two losses in the last
seven meetings, as the Aggies have lost the last two to the Bulldogs...
USU is 10-13-1 all-time vs. FS, including 2-10-1 at Fresno... The last three
Aggie wins in the series have been by a combined six points with a

Gary Andersen
Utah, 1986
First Year at Utah State
Gary Andersen was named Utah State
head football coach on Dec. 4 by USU
Athletics Director Scott Barnes. Andersen
becomes the 26th head coach in 115
years of Aggie football.
Andersen comes to Utah State after
five seasons as the assistant head coach,
defensive coordinator and defensive line
coach at Utah, where he helped guide
the Utes to a 13-0 record last season. Utah
finished the season ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll after winning the BCS
Sugar Bowl with a dominating 31-17 victory against Alabama. Andersen was a
part of seven bowl teams as Utah has an
8-0 bowl record since 1999, giving the Utes
the nation’s longest bowl winning streak.
“Obviously, Gary’s vast knowledge of
the state of Utah coupled with his overall
recruiting success will pay long-term dividends to our program. He will be focused
and tireless in his approach to building
and sustaining a winning program here
at Utah State. We are all very excited to
have Coach Andersen leading this program to the next step,” Barnes said.
Overall, Andersen spent 11 seasons as
an assistant coach at Utah after coaching
for the Utes from 1997-2002 before becoming the head coach at Southern Utah in
2003 and then returning to Utah in 2004.
“It’s a great opportunity and it’s been
a longtime goal of mine to be a Division
I head football coach. I think every football coach has a niche as to where they
want be a head coach and where they
belong. I feel that Utah State is a perfect
fit for my niche and what I believe in,”
Andersen said.
Andersen was named a finalist for the
2008 Broyles Award, honoring the top
assistant coach in college football. He
was also tabbed as the No. 1 non-BCS
recruiter by Rivals.com in 2005 and was
named a Rivals.com top 10 non-BCS recruiter in 2008.
“Utah State fits everything from a recruiting standpoint, to the student-athletes
that we’ll be dealing with on a daily basis
as well as from a well-rounded academic
viewpoint. At the end of the day, the best
way to sum that up is when you’re a head
football coach, you need to look at what
you need to do to be successful,” Andersen said. “Without a doubt, Utah State

has all the tools needed to recruit quality
student-athletes socially, academically
and athletically. These tools will allow us to
build a succesful program and continue
the success that Utah State provides not
just for football but for life for our players,
as well as my staff, my family and myself.”
Andersen is the architect behind Utah’s
vaunted defense during the 2008 season,
which led the Utes to their second BCS
bowl in five years after winning the 2004 Fiesta Bowl championship, capping another perfect 12-0 season and becoming the
first non-BSC team to play in a BCS bowl
game. This past year, Utah ranked 11th in
rushing defense (99.2) and total defense
(289.2), and 12th in scoring defense (17.2).
In the Sugar Bowl, Utah held an Alabama
team that came into the game averaging
196.5 rushing yards per game to a meager 31 yards. The Utes nearly halved Alabama’s point production as well, as the
17 points against Utah was 14 below the
Crimson Tide’s season average.
In each of the past three seasons, the
Andersen-led Utah defense has been in
the top three of the Mountain West Conference in scoring defense, including a No.
1 league ranking last year, ranking No. 5 in
the NCAA. Last season, the Utes’ defense
posted the top pass efficiency defense in
the country and also led the
conference in pass defense,
ranking No. 11 in the nation.
The past two seasons, Utah has
led the league in turnover margin, ranking No. 13 in the country a year ago after No. 22 in
2007.
Last
season,
Andersen
coached defensive end Paul
Kruger and cornerback Sean
Smith who both had standout
seasons and were secondround NFL Draft selections. Kruger was on the Ted Hendricks
Award watch list, and led the
Utes in 2008 in tackles for loss
(16.5) and sacks (7.5). Those
totals ranked second and
third, respectively in the Mountain West Conference. Kruger
also contributed 61 tackles,
an interception (which he returned 30 yards), seven pass
breakups, two forced fumbles
and a fumble recovery. Kruger
was tied for 31st in the NCAA in
tackles for loss.

During his tenure at Utah, Andersen
coached 14 first-team all-conference
players (three this season), including two
Mountain West Conference defensive
players of the year in John Frank (1999)
and Eric Weddle (2005 and 2006), as well
as a consensus All-American in Weddle
in 2006. Andersen has also coached 10
players drafted in the NFL in Richard Seals,
John Frank, Lauvale Sape, Sione Pouha,
Jonathan Fanene, Eric Weddle, Paul Soliai, Sean Smith, Brice McCain and Paul
Kruger, in addition to several other players
who made NFL rosters as free agents.
Andersen’s coaching career began in
1988 as the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Southeastern Louisiana, where he coached for one season
before going to Ricks College (now BYUIdaho) from 1989-92 as the offensive line
coach. His other coaching stints include
Idaho State (1992-94, defensive line),
Park City HS (1994-95, head coach) and
Northern Arizona (1995-96, assistant head
coach/defensive line/special teams).
A 1986 graduate of Utah, Andersen
earned his bachelor’s degree in political
science. He played center for Utah from
1985-86 after garnering first-team juco AllAmerica honors in 1984 at Ricks College.
Andersen is married to the former Stacey Lambert, and they have three children:
Keegan and twins Chasen and Hagen.
Season Review
Smith led Utah and tied for the league
lead with five interceptions, one which he
returned for a touchdown. His 151 yards
on interception returns led the league.
Smith also led Utah in pass breakups with
nine and had 46 tackles, two tackles for
loss (one a sack) and a forced fumble.
Smith’s five interceptions was tied for 28th
in the NCAA.
Against Utah State on Sept. 13 of last
year, Andersen’s defense held the Aggies’ offense to 116 total yards, a season
low, in then No. 22 Utah’s 58-10 win.
First joining Utah in 1997, Andersen
coached defensive tackles and strong
side ends for five seasons before being elevated to assistant head coach and adding special teams to his duties in 2001. He
took over responsibility for the entire defensive line in 2002.
In 2003, Andersen migrated south to become the head coach at Southern Utah,
guiding the Thunderbirds to a 4-7 record
and bettering their win total of the previous three seasons combined. He turned
around a program that was 102nd in the
nation in the final 2002 I-AA Gridiron Power
Index, which is used to determine playoff
selections, into the No. 36-ranked team in
his lone season.
He then returned to Utah in 2004 as the
defensive line coach before taking over as
the Utes’ defensive coordinator in 2005.

ANDERSEN TIDBITS
-- Andersen becomes the second-youngest head
coach in the WAC, behind Boise State’s Chris Peterson, but only by eight months.
-- He becomes the second Aggie head coach that is a Utah alum, joining USU legendary
head coach E. Lowell Romney (1919-48), who graduated from Utah in 1917 and is USU’s
football stadium namesake.
-- While at Utah, Andersen was a part of a Utes coaching staff that posted a 13-5 (.722)
record against current WAC schools, going 0-3 vs. Boise State, 2-1 vs. Fresno State, 1-0 vs.
Hawai’i, 1-0 vs. San Jose State and 9-1 vs. Utah State.
-- At Utah, Andersen was a part of two Ute teams that went 2-0 in BCS action, finishing No. 2
in the 2008 AP Poll and No. 4 in 2004.
-- As an assistant coach at Northern Arizona (1995-96), Andersen was 1-1 against current
WAC schools, beating Boise State and losing to Idaho, both in 1995.
-- Andersen and Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham are the only two non-BCS coaches to
coach in two BCS games, as they both coached in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl and the 2008 Sugar
Bowl, leading Utah to victories in both.
-- Andersen was a part of seven bowl
teams as Utah has an 8-0 bowl record
since 1999, giving the Utes the nation’s
longest bowl winning streak.
“Coach Andersen is exactly what Utah State
needs. He understands the state of Utah and
the caliber of players that are in the state,
and the talent that they provide. He’s a recruiting genius. When he’s in the homes of
recruits, the parents and the kids fall in love
with him. He knows how to get the best talent from each and every player every week
of the season. I’m thrilled for him, he has
mentored me not just as a player, but a person. It’s an added bonus that he was a head
coach. He’s proven that he can be successful as a defensive coordinator and a head
coach with what he was able to do in just
one season at Southern Utah. I’m excited
to watch him build a successful program at
Utah State and carry on that success for the
Aggies into the future.”
-- Andersen has coached a total
of 18 players on NFL rosters, including three draft selections last year in
second-round picks Paul Kruger and
Sean Smith, along with sixth-round
selection Bryce McCain, 14 first-team
all-conference players, including two
Mountain West Conference defensive players of the year in John Frank
(1999) and Eric Weddle (2005 and
2006), as well as a consensus firstteam All-American in Weddle in 2006,
as well as second-team All-American
Morgan Scalley in 2004.

“Coach Andersen is a great coach. Utah
State is lucky to get a terrific coach like him.
He was my D-line coach at Utah and cared
for me and made me be the best player
I could be. He always made sure I did everything to the best of my abilities on and
off the football field. His defenses get better
every season and are one of the best in the
country. Utah State is fortunate to get a great
coach like him. He’s coached a lot of great
defensive linemen in his career. He’s one of
the best recruiters I know. Utah State is getting one of the best coaches around and
hopefully he can turn that program around.”

always finds a way to get the best out of his
offensive personnel. Coaching against him
for the last two years, while I was defensive
coordinator at Utah was a major task. His
running of the spread offense is one of the
best in the country. Dave’s extensive coaching background, especially his head coaching experiences, will be a tremendous asset
to me as a head coach.”
Baldwin comes to Utah State from New
Mexico, where he spent two seasons as offensive coodinator for the Lobos.
“I’m extremely excited for the opportunity to coach along side Gary Andersen,” Baldwin said. “I’ve coached against
him for two years, and I have tremendous
respect and appreciation for him as a
coach and as a person. I’m excited about
the magnificent facilities that Utah State
has to offer and am anxious to continue
and build on their success. This is a wonderful opportunity to regain Utah State’s
national exposure.”
Baldwin was offensive coordinator at
New Mexico for two seasons, after spending four years (2003-06) as offensive coordinator and tight ends coach at Michigan
State. His coaching resumé includes 11
years of head coaching experience at
San Jose State (1997-2000) and Cal State
Northridge (1995-96) plus five years as a
head coach at the junior college level.
The 2008 Baldwin-directed New Mexico
offense was third in the Mountain West
Conference and 16th in the NCAA in rushing at 208.3 yards per game.
Last season, Baldwin’s offense produced two all-Mountain West Conference performers in second-team honorees senior running back Rodney Ferguson
and junior center Erik Cook. Ferguson was
second in the MWC and 24th in the NCAA
in rushing with 100.5 yards per game, including a league-high 13 rushing touchdowns, ranking third in the conference
in TD scoring (7.1 ppg) as well as sixth in
overall scoring.
In 2007, New Mexico was one of just
three Football Bowl Subdivision schools to
produce a 3,000-yard passer (Donovan
Porterie 3,006), a 1,000-yard rusher (Rodney Ferguson 1,177) and two 1,000-yard
receivers (Marcus Smith 1,125 and Travis
Brown 1,031). Smith led the MWC in receiving (seven per game) and yards (86 per
game), while setting a school record with
91 receptions.
Baldwin coached seven all-Mountain
West Conference selections in Ferguson,
Smith and Brown, as well as center Vince
Natali and offensive tackle Devin Clark, who
were all named first team all-MWC in 2007.
In his first season as the Lobos’ offensive
coordinator, he increased their numbers in
rushing, passing, scoring and total offense
from 2006. Porterie finished third in the MWC
in passing yards (231.2 ypg) and total offense (228.6 ypg) and was named the MVP
of the New Mexico Bowl after throwing for
a career-high 354 yards and 2 TDs to lead
UNM to a 23-0 victory against Nevada in the
2007 New Mexico Bowl, marking the Lobos’
first bowl win since the 1961 Aviation Bowl.
At Michigan State, Baldwin mentored
Spartan QB Drew Stanton, who in 2006, was
one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas
Golden Arm Award, presented annually
since 1987 to the nation’s top senior quarterback. Stanton finished his MSU career
setting a school record for completion percentage (.642), and second in pass completions (543), pass attempts (846), passing
yards (6,524) and total offense (8,036).

2005. Busch had two players selected in
the NFL Draft as Josh Bullock was selected by the New Orleans Saints in 2005 and
his twin brother Daniel was chosen in the
2006 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions in the
second round. Ironically, each Bullocks
brother was taken with the 40th pick.
Busch’s coaching talents also paid
dividends for the Huskers on special
teams. During his time there, the Huskers
blocked 16 kicks, including seven in 2005.
NU’s special teams recorded two important plays in the final minutes of a contest
- a 40-yard field goal to beat Kansas State

Season Preview
Bill Busch will be entering his first season
as Utah State’s defensive coordinator.
Busch’s most recent coaching job
was at Nebraska from 2005-07, where he
was assistant coach for safeties and special teams coordinator. Busch coached
with USU head coach Gary Andersen at
both Northern Arizona and Utah. He and
Andersen were at NAU together from
1995 to 1996, with Busch serving as secondary coach in 1995 and co-defensive
coordinator and secondary coach in
1996, while Andersen was assistant head
coach and defensive line as well as special teams coach.
“The excitement for me is two-fold. For
one, it’s a great opportunity to coach at
such as great university like Utah State
due to the fact of the tremendous commitment that the administration is making
to football. Secondly, getting the chance
to work with Gary Andersen is very exciting. He’s obviously a great friend but
also for the opportunity to work with him
again are major reasons why I can’t wait
to get back into coaching,” Busch said.
After Busch’s four-year stint as secondary coach at New Mexico State from
1997-2000, Busch and Andersen joined
up again at Utah in 2001 when Busch
was safeties coach until taking over the
entire secondary in 2003. He then went
to Nebraska in 2004 where he coached
outside linebackers and was the special
teams coordinator, before moving to
safeties in 2005 while remaining special
teams coordinator until 2007.
“Coach Andersen and I have worked
together at two different programs at
Northern Arizona and Utah, so we have a
great feel for each other. I know exactly
what he wants from me and vice versa,
and what we can do for each other with
what exactly our schematic plan is,”
Busch said. “I’m thrilled for the chance
to work in a program with the great potential that Utah State has and in a great
conference like the WAC, as well as to
work with Coach Andersen again.”
In his year away from full-time coaching, Busch worked with some NFL and
college teams in addition to spending
time with his family in Nebraska, but he
is excited about the chance to return to
college football and the state of Utah.
“In this profession, everything is
short-lived and you’re back and going
again, so it was nice to do some things
outside of football, but I’m very excited
to get back into coaching and return
to Utah. I love the state of Utah and
am looking forward to being a part of
the Logan community as we continue
to develop the Utah State football program,” Busch said.
While at Nebraska, Busch’s safeties
were consistently among the team’s top
athletes. In 2006, Husker safeties recorded six of Nebraska’s 12 interceptions. The
2005 Nebraska defense toted a No. 10

Season Preview
Kevin Clune (pronounced Kloon) is in his
first year with the Utah State football staff
and will serve as the Aggies’ linebackers
coach.
Clune was Weber State’s defensive coordinator jfrom 2005-08. He comes to Utah
State after four years at Weber State, recently helping the Wildcats to a share of the
Big Sky Conference title and advancing to
the quarterfinals of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, where they lost at
No. 5 Montana, 24-13, on Dec. 6, 2008.
Clune’s defense was fourth in the Big
Sky Conference and 76th in FCS in total
defense (363.9 yards per game), as well as
leading the Big Sky in pass defense (208.4
ypg), good for 69th in FCS. Weber State
also led the league in pass efficiency defense (109.4), which ranks 17th in FCS.
“I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with Coach Andersen again,”
Clune said. “I’m looking forward to the
challenge of building on the success that
Utah State has had and turning that program into one with continued success.
I believe in Gary Andersen 110 percent
and know that he will get that done.”
Clune was Andersen’s defensive coordinator at Southern Utah in 2003 and was
at SUU through 2004 until joining the Weber State staff in 2005.
“Kevin and I worked together when he
was my defensive coordinator at Southern
Utah so our defensive beliefs are extremely close. He brings coordinator experience
to us, something that is invaluable to a
program, and he will only strengthen our
defensive staff,” Andersen said. “Kevin is
very familiar with the state of Utah and
everything that it has to offer. He’s a terrific recruiter and will help us maintain our
goal of continuing to build a successful
program here at Utah State and pursue a
conference championship.”
Under Clune, Weber State’s defense
was ranked second in the Big Sky in both
2006 and 2007. The 2007 Wildcat defense
yielded an average of just 348.4 yards per
game. Weber State also ranked first in the
league in pass defense (212.2 ypg) and
third in rushing defense (136.2 ypg). Weber State’s 23-0 win at Northern Colorado
on Oct. 13, 2007 was the Wildcats’ first
shutout of a league opponent since 1980
and the first shutout of a league opponent
on the road since 1966.
During his tenure at Weber State, Clune
coached 15 all-Big Sky Conference winners, including nine this past season, as

linebacker J.D. Folsom, cornerback Josh
Morris and safety Beau Hadley all earned
first-team accolades, while tackle Ryan

Alex Gerke (pronounced gur-Key) is the
Aggies’ new offensive line coach.
“Alex has spent years coaching the
spread offense, so he is very knowledgeable and well-rounded on the type of
offense we’re going to run here at Utah
State,” USU head coach Gary Andersen said. “He is an excellent offensive line
coach and an exceptional recruiter, with
significant experience recruiting the state
of Utah, California, as well as Polynesian
players in addition to all over the country.
His coaching beliefs are the same as mine
as far as taking quality care of the current
players in the program and recruiting highcaliber players for our program.”
“I can’t wait to work with Gary Andersen,” Gerke said. “I think that Utah State
has the right guy for their program. He understands Utah and knows what type of
players to recruit here to make a successful
program. I look forward to being a spoke in
the wheel as we get the USU program rolling towards continued success.”
Gerke is familiar with the Western Athletic Conference, spending last season at
Hawai’i, coaching the running backs and
assisting with the offensive line. He helped
guide the Warriors to a 7-7 record, losing to
Notre Dame, 49-21, in the Hawai’i Bowl.
Prior to his stint at Hawai’i, Gerke spent
two seasons at Weber State, where
coached the offensive line with current
USU quarterbacks coach Kevin McGiven,
who was the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator at the time. At Weber State, Gerke

coach Chad Kauha’aha’a.
“I’m excited to be back in Utah,” Gerke
said. “I have a strong affinity for the state,
I love it. I’m extremely honored to help
Utah State achieve its goals for success.”
While at Hawai’i, Gerke helped coach
three-time first-team all-WAC honoree John
Estes, who was on last year’s Rimington

“In my opinion, Chad is one of the best
recruiters in the country. He has vast knowledge of recruiting all types of players, especially Polynesian players,” Andersen
said. “He has also coached in basically
the same defensive scheme from working
under Coach Clune, so he understands
our defensive goals and objectives. He’s a
young, passionate and aggressive coach,
and I’m excited to work with him in making Utah State a great football program.”
Last season, one of Kauha’aha’a’s pupils, first-team all-Big Sky selection Kevin
Linehan was second in the Big Sky and
tied for 16th in FCS in sacks with 10.5 (0.75
pg). Linehan was also fourth in the Big Sky
in tackles for loss with 14.5 and second in
the league with five forced fumbles. Another first-team all-Big Sky honoree, Bryce
Scanlon was 38th in the league with 67
tackles (4.8 pg) with seven and half tackles for loss including one sack.
“I’ve very thankful for the opportunity
that Gary Andersen has given me to coach
at Utah State,” Kauha’aha’a said. “I’m anxious for the challenge and can’t wait to get
started and take the Aggies to the next level. While at Weber State, I saw the progress
that Utah State has made and am looking
forward to being part of Coach Andersen’s
staff to expand on that success.”
Under Kauha’aha’a, the 2007 Weber
State defensive line was also greatly successful, ranking second in the Big Sky in overall defense (348.4 ypg) and third in rushing
defense (136.2 ypg). Scanlon also earned
first-team all-Big Sky accolades, while defensive tackle Derek Johnson and Linehan
were honorable mention selections.
In 2006, defensive tackle Rio Stotler
earned first-team all-conference honors,
while Pate Moleni and Patrick O’Keefe
garnered honorable mention all-Big Sky
accolades. The 2005 Kauha’aha’a-led defensive line also collected several awards
as defensive end Brady Fosmark was
second-team All-America and first-team
all-Big Sky selection and defensive tackle
Shane Barkdull was also a first-team allconference honoree.
Prior to Weber State, Kauha’aha’a
was head coach at Baldwin High School
on the island of Maui, Hawai’i, where he
posted a 25-5-2 record in three seasons,
winning two Maui Interscholastic League
championships. His teams finished ranked
among the top five in the state each of

Assistant Coaches
Kevin McGiven
Utah State head coach Gary Andersen
announced on Dec. 10 that Kevin McGiven
has been hired as the Aggies’ quarterbacks
coach.
McGiven was Weber State’s offensive coordinator for three seasons, recently helping
the Wildcats to a share of the Big Sky Conference title in 2008 and advancing to the
quarterfinals of the Football Championship
Subdivision (FCS) playoffs, where they lost at
No. 5 Montana, 24-13.
“Having grown up in Utah, I’m familiar
with Utah State’s history. It’s a school and
a program with a great deal of tradition
and promise. I’m excited to get the pieces
together and get the Aggies back on the
winning track,” McGiven said.
Weber State improved from fifth in the Big
Sky in 2007 in total offense to leading the
league and ranking seventh in FCS in 2008
with 455.4 yards per game. The McGiven-led
Wildcat offense also led the conference and
ranked 12th in FCS in scoring offense at 35.1
points per game, improving from 27.2 ppg
last year and fifth-best in the league. McGiven’s offense was also second in the conference and fifth in the FCS in passing offense
(324.3 ypg) and fifth in the league and 70th
in the nation in rushing offense (131.0 ypg).
Under McGiven, Weber State had seven
offensive players earn first-team all-Big Sky
Conference honors in 2008, part of a Big Sky
record 12 players on the first-team overall.
Quarterback Cameron Higgins was not
only a first-team selection and the Big Sky
Conference Offensive Player of the Year,
but he was also a candidate for the Walter
Payton Award, given annually to the top offensive player in FCS. Higgins led the Big Sky
and ranked third in FCS in passing efficiency
(166.26) as well as leading the league and
ranking fourth in FCS in total offense (314.3
ypg).
“What Kevin has done the last few years at
Weber State is extremely impressive,” Andersen said. “He has taken a young quarterback
and developed him into one of the best in
the country. He is a bright, young talented
coach and his potential is immeasurable.”
While defensive coordinator at Utah, Andersen was able to see McGiven’s coaching talents first hand on Sept. 27, when Utah
hosted Weber State, and the Utes beat the
Wildcats, 37-21.
“When Weber State faced Utah this season, the scheme that Kevin had for that
game was one of the best that I faced while
defensive coordinator,” Andersen said.
In 2007, McGiven mentored Higgins
into a season of accolades, including the
2007 Big Sky Conference Newcomer of
the Year along with being an honorable
mention all-Big Sky selection after ranking
second in the league with a 143.20 passing efficiency rating.
In addition to Higgins’ standout seasons,
McGiven has led Weber State’s offense to
additional notables, as running back Trevyn
Smith, a unanimous first-team all-conference selection, has led the Big Sky in rushing
each of the last three seasons. Smith’s 113.2

Ilaisa Tuiaki (pronounced E-lye-sa Tooee-ah-kee) is entering his first season as
Utah State’s running backs coach.
Tuiaki follows Andersen to Utah State

the strong side linebackers. Tuiaki played
running back at Southern Utah. He’ll shift
back to the offensive side of the ball,
coaching USU’s running backs as well as
assisting with special teams.
“Ilaisa played for me at Southern Utah,
and I’ve been impressed with him as a
player and a coach ever since,” Andersen said. “He’s a young, passionate coach
that puts the players first, and I know he’ll
do great things with our young, talented
running backs here at Utah State, as well
as working on special teams. His recruiting
skills will also be a big asset for us. While at
Utah, he did a great job recruiting Polynesian players, and he will help us tremendously as we work toward expanding on
the number of Utah and Polynesian players in our program.”
Tuiaki played for Andersen at Southern
Utah and is excited to continue to be part
of his staff.
“I’m really excited to be part of Gary Andersen’s staff. I’m extremely honored that
he has the faith in me, and I know what’s
expected of me,” Tuiaki said. “I’m flattered
that Coach Andersen selected me to be
Utah State’s running backs coach. I’m excited to meet and work with the players. Utah
State has a lot of talent at running back. I’m
also anxious to help recruit Polynesian players to Cache Valley and Utah State. The
area and campus are great places.”
Tuiaki spent one year as graduate assistant coach at Utah, where he worked with
the strong side linebackers on defense, assisting defensive coordinator Andersen.
Last season at Utah, Tuiaki coached
second-team all-Mountain West honoree
junior linebacker Stevenson Sylvester, as
well as honorable mention selection junior

Conference win. Off the field, Tuiaki was
an academic all-conference selection as
well as a two-time winner of a Utah Coalition for the Advancement of Minorities in

at Utah State,” Andersen said. “Coach
Woods is a great recruiter. He’s from the

EUGENE, Ore. - Behind 132 rushing yards from LeGarrette Blount and
173 passing yards from Justin Roper, 18th-ranked Oregon rolled up a
school record 688 yards of total offense in its 66-24 non-conference win
against Utah State at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 6. For the second straight
week, Diondre Borel came off the bench to lead Utah State's offense
as the sophomore signal-caller finished the game with 157 yards passing (16-24-0) and 31 yards rushing. Borel also had a career-high two TD
passes in the game, completing a 15-yard pass to sophomore TB Curtis
Marsh in the second quarter and later a one-yard toss to senior WR Otis
Nelson in the fourth quarter. Senior FS Caleb Taylor stopped Oregon's
first drive of the game in the redzone with his fifth career interception.
However, following a three-and-out on USU's first offensive series, the
Ducks responded with touchdowns on each of their next five possessions
to take a commanding 38-14 lead into the locker room at halftime. Utah
State got on the board early in the second quarter on a seven-play, 75yard drive that was capped off with Borel's 15-yard TD pass to Marsh. USU
then scored its first defensive touchdown of the season late in the second
quarter as junior DL Antonio May recovered a fumble in the endzone. Following touchdowns on Oregon's first three possessions of the second-half,
Utah State's Peter Caldwell made a 33-yard field goal to start the fourth
quarter and USU added another score on Nelson's one-yard TD reception
to give the Aggies 24 points. Nelson finished the game with a career-high
seven receptions and a career-high 72 receiving yards. Freshman LB Jordan Glass had a career-best 11 tackles while Taylor had eight stops in the

GAME ONE RECAP
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - UNLV's Omar Clayton threw for 192 yards (17-29-0)
and a career-high three touchdown passes, and Frank Summers added
87 yards on the ground to lead the Rebels to a season-opening 27-17 win
against Utah State on Aug. 30. It was the 11th straight year that USU has
opened the season with a loss. The win was UNLV's first in nine games dating back to the 2007 season and two of its last three victories have come
against USU. The Aggies entered 2008 on a two-game winning streak
as it ended the 2007 campaign with a pair of road wins at New Mexico
State and at Idaho. Sophomore QB Diondre Borel highlighted Utah State's
offense as he gained 70 yards rushing on 15 carries and added 80 yards
passing (8-16-0) after entering the game early in the third quarter. Borel
also threw his first career TD, completing a six-yard pass to junior WR
Nnamdi Gwacham late in the fourth quarter to make the final margin
10 points. It was also Gwacham's first career TD. Senior QB Sean Setzer
started the game by completing nine of his first 10 passes for 114 yards for
Utah State and led the Aggies on a 12-play, 82-yard drive that spanned
6:21, culminating with a one-yard touchdown run by Robert Turbin to tie
the game at seven-all early in the second quarter. Utah State dominated
the first quarter as it held the ball for 12:38 and outgained UNLV, 114-44,
but trailed 7-0 as the Rebels turned an Aggie turnover into seven points
on a 5-play, 47-yard drive midway through the opening quarter. Following the Aggies' first touchdown, UNLV scored 17-straight points over the
next two periods to put the game away. UNLV finished the game with
353 yards of total offense (221 passing, 153 rushing) and Utah State recorded 314 total yards (203 passing, 130 rushing). The Aggies finished the
game by possessing the ball for 30:46 and ran eight more offensive plays
(70-62), but they also committed two turnovers in the contest that led to
10 Rebel points, which proved to be the difference in the game. UNLV
finished the game with zero turnovers. Senior LB Jake Hutton had a teamhigh 12 tackles to lead a trio of Aggie defenders with double-digit stops.
The 12 tackles for Hutton marked the third-straight game he recorded at
least 10 tackles dating back to 2007.

GAME THREE RECAP
LOGAN, Utah - In the 108th meeting with its in-state rival and the 12thlongest rivalry in the country, Utah State lost to 22nd-ranked Utah, 58-10,
on Sept. 13 at Romney Stadium in the Aggies' home-opener. The Aggies
have now lost 11 in a row to the Utes and trail the all-time series, 76-28-4.
The Utes amassed 461 yards of total offense while limiting the Aggies to
116 yards. Just like its first two games of the season, Utah State was led
by sophomore QB Diondre Borel off the bench with 62 yards passing
and 23 yards rushing. Sophomore RB Curtis Marsh had three catches for
a career-high 51 yards including a 31-yard reception. The Aggies took
a 7-0 lead on a nine-yard pass from senior QB Sean Setzer to classmate
WR Otis Nelson after the Aggies recovered a muffed Utah punt return at
the USU 24. It was Setzer's first USU career TD pass. Utah had 248 rushing
yards, led by 75 by Darrell Mack while Eddie Wide had 69 yards and Matt
Asiata had 56 yards and three TD's. Brian Johnson was 22-of-31 passing
for 204 yards with two TD's, with Bradon Godfrey snagging game highs
of six catches for 57 yards. USU senior LB Jake Hutton made a game-high
11 tackles while fellow LB, sophomore Jordan Glass logged 10 stops, one
shy of his career-high from last week. After the Aggies' first quarter lead,
which was their first of the season, the Utes reeled off 30 unanswered
points, taking a 30-7 lead into halftime. The avalanche started on the
ensuing kickoff after Utah took a 10-7 lead, when USU fumbled and Utah's
Elijah Wesson recovered and ran in from the 20 to put UU up 17-7 and
USU never recovered. Utah State opened the third-quarter scoring on a
20-yard field goal from sophomore PK Peter Caldwell before Utah scored
on four more TD's.

GAME FOUR RECAP
LOGAN, Utah - Freshman Robert Turbin rushed for 123 yards, including
106 in the second-half, as Utah State rolled up 580 yards of total offense
in a convincing 42-17 WAC win against Idaho on Sept. 20. The 42 points
scored for USU was the most under head coach Brent Guy, as was its
25-point margin of victory. Utah State, who won three straight league
games dating back to 2007, improved to 1-3 overall and 1-0 in the WAC.
Utah State's 580 yards of total offense was its most since gaining 684
against Weber State in 2001, while its 356 rushing yards is the most since
the 1999 season when it had 388 at Nevada. Turbin's 123 yards on the
ground are the most for an Aggie since the 2006 campaign. Sophomore
QB Diondre Borel scored Utah State's first touchdown on a 33-yard run in
the second quarter and finished the game with 93 rushing yards. He also
had 191 passing yards (12-21-1) and two TDs, which tied his career-high.
Idaho scored on its first possession of the game and led 17-14 late in the
third quarter following a 43-yard field goal from Tino Amancio. USU then
exploded for 28 points in the final 15:34 of the game to record its largest
margin of victory since it defeated Arkansas State, 49-0, on Oct. 25, 2003
in Logan. USU's first score of the second-half came on a 46-yard pitch
and catch from Borel to freshman WR Stanley Morrison to tie the game
at 14. The Aggies then took their first lead of the game with :34 seconds
to play in the third quarter as junior TE Jeremy Mitchell hauled in a 15yard scoring strike from Borel. USU's next score came via its defense as
junior DE Darby Golden sacked Idaho's Nathan Enderle in the end zone,
forcing a fumble that was recovered by senior DT Ben Calderwood.
On the Vandals’ next possession, junior S James Brindley intercepted a
fourth-down pass and returned it 34 yards to the Vandals' 41. USU quickly
turned that INT into seven points as sophomore RB Curtis Marsh raced
41-yards down the right sideline on the Aggies’ first play from scrimmage
for the score. Utah State's final series of the game was its most impressive
going 97 yards in 12 plays, 10 of which were runs, in 6:05 culminating with
a 26-yard scoring run by Turbin.

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State outscored No. 8 Brigham Young 14-10 in the
second half. However the Aggies were down 24-0 at halftime and lost to
the Cougars in a closer than the score reflects contest, 34-14, on Oct. 3 at a
packed and rowdy Romney Stadium. USU slid to 1-4 on the year while BYU
improved to 5-0 overall, extending the nation's longest winning streak to 15
in a row. Aggie redshirt freshman running back Robert Turbin led USU for the
second game in a row on the ground with 74 yards on eight carries. Sophomore quarterback Diondre Borel added 40 yards rushing to go with 10-of-15

of linebacker Jake Hutton and linebacker/safety De'von Hall led USU with
a game-high 10 tackles each while junior cornerback Kejon Murphy and
fellow cornerback, senior Roy Hurst had an interception each. Murphy's
came in the endzone to thwart a BYU drive after the Cougars took over at
the USU 20 following an Aggie fumble. After BYU scored on its first offensive
series of the game, the Aggies then coughed up three costly turnovers in
the first quarter. USU's two fumbles and one interception were converted
into 17 more points by BYU for a 24-0 first quarter lead. Neither team scored
in the second quarter and the Cougars tacked on 10 points in the third
quarter before the Aggies rallied with 14 fourth-quarter points. Turbin scored
on a 40-yard running, spinning dash to cap a seven-play, 80-yard drive
with 13:47 left in the game. After the Aggie defense held the Cougars to
a three-and-out, Borel led USU's march down the field and capped the
drive by hitting Lloyd in the back of the endzone. Utah State attempted an
onside kick following the score but could not recover. At the end of BYU's
ensuing drive, redshirt freshman defensive end Junior Keiaho burst through
the line and blocked the field goal attempt. The Aggies drove to the BYU
7-yard line, but could not get the ball in the endzone before the game
ended.

GAME SEVEN RECAP
LOGAN, Utah - Fresno State's Kevin Goessling booted a 58-yard field goal as time
expired to give the Bulldogs a 30-28 victory over Utah State on Oct. 25, spoiling USU's
Homecoming. The Aggies rallied from a 24-13 early fourth-quarter deficit with 15
points, taking a 28-27 lead with 38 seconds left after freshman RB Marquis Butler's
one-yard plunge. Sophomore PK/P Peter Caldwell split the uprights with the go
ahead PAT. Fresno State's Rashad Evans returned the ensuing kickoff 27 yards and
three pass completions by Tom Brandstater put the Bulldogs into Goessling's range,
and he drilled the kick to stun the spirted Aggie Homecoming crowd. It was the Bulldog's first win on the Aggies' home field since 1989, as USU is now 8-3 vs. FS in Logan,
but Fresno State leads the all-time series, 13-10-1, winning five of the last six meetings
overall. USU nearly re-created the magic from 2006, when the Aggies scored in
the waning seconds to beat the Bulldogs, 13-12, also on USU's Homecoming, but
Goessling's boot gave Fresno State the victory. The Aggies amassed 399 yards of
total offense on the day, with 206 on the ground and 193 through the air. Fresno
State had 411 total offense yards with 257 passing and 154 rushing, the Bulldogs'
second-lowest rushing output of the season. Borel led USU with 15-of-24 passing for
193 yards and one TD while adding 74 rushing yards and a TD, as well as a two-point
conversion in the fourth quarter after tossing a 20-yard scoring pass to junior WR
Xavier Bowman to pull the Aggies to 24-21. Butler had a season-high 55 rushing
yards, while junior WR Nnamdi Gwacham had 72 yards on two catches, including
a career-long 52-yard reception to set up Bowman's TD catch. Defensively, senior
LB Jake Hutton had a game-high 13 tackles while junior S James Brindley added 10
stops. Brandstater was 25-of-36 passing for 257 yards with a TD, hitting Seyi Ajirotutu
with six of those passes for 58 yards while Devon Wylie also had six receptions for 54
yards. Ben Jacobs led Fresno State with 10 tackles while three others added nine
stops. USU took the opening kickoff and marched down the field, scoring on its
opening possession for the first time on the season, taking a 7-0 lead on a three-yard
scoring scamper by Borel. Fresno State countered with a 19-yard run by Lonyae
Miller to tie it at 7-all. Caldwell gave USU a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter on
a 35-yard field goal but Fresno State scored on a seven-yard Brandstater to Wylie
pass to put the Bulldogs up 14-10. Caldwell pulled the Aggies to 14-13 at the half
on a 20-yard upright split as the second-quarter clock expired, at the same end as
Goessling's second half ending field goal to win the game. The Bulldogs opened a
24-13 lead on a four-yard TD run by Ryan Matthews followed by a 43-yard Goessling
field goal. After Bowman's TD drew USU to 24-21, Goessling booted a 44-yarder to
put FS ahead, 27-21, setting up the final drama.

GAME EIGHT RECAP
RENO, Nev. - Despite forcing four turnovers on defense and amassing
333 yards of total offense, Utah State lost to Nevada, 44-17, on Oct. 18, as
USU suffered its fourth loss in a row to Nevada. The Aggies dropped their
third in a row overall in falling to 1-6 overall and 1-2 in Western Athletic
Conference action while the Wolf Pack won for the third time in their
last four games in improving to 4-3 overall and 2-1 in WAC play. USU had
333 yards of offense, as sophomore QB Diondre Borel threw for a seasonhigh 262 yards on 19-of-39, tossing two TD's for the third time this season.
Borel also had 50 rushing yards on 21 carries, as USU had 71 total rushing
yards. Senior WR Otis Nelson had a career-best 86 receiving yards on four
catches with two TD's. Redshirt-freshman TE Tarren Lloyd added four receptions for 69 yards. Defensively, USU was led by junior LB Paul Igboeli with 10
tackles and a fumble recovery while junior S James Brindley added eight
stops. Senior S/LB De'von Hall and junior CB Kejon Murphy each snagged
an interception. Nevada had 523 yards of total offense, including 284 rushing, led by RB Vai Taua's 122 and a TD. QB Colin Kaepernick was 10-of-20
passing for 197 and had 48 yards rushing on six carries with two TD's. Borel
hit Nelson with a 16-yard TD in the second quarter to pull USU to 13-7, but
then Nevada reeled off 27 unanswered points to open a 30-7 lead. Junior
K Chris Ulinski filled in for sophomore Peter Caldwell for field goals, booting a 42-yarder in the third quarter. After the Wolf Pack scored again on
a Kaepernick rush, Borel hit Nelson again with a 52-yard strike to pull the
Aggies within 37-17, but Nevada tacked on a 47-yard INT return for a TD to
cap the scoring.

GAME 10 RECAP
BOISE, Idaho - Utah State was bucked by the ninth-ranked Broncos of Boise State,
49-14, on Nov. 8 at BSU's Bronco Stadium, dealing the Aggies their second loss to a
Top 10 team this season. USU fell to 2-8 overall and 2-4 in Western Athletic Conference
play while the Broncos remained undefeated at 9-0 overall and 5-0 in WAC action.
The Aggies have lost their last five trips to Boise and eight in a row to the Broncos
overall in falling to 4-11 vs. Boise State. It marked just the second time ever and the
first since 1972 that USU has played two top 10 teams in the same season. Boise State
was USU's fourth top 25 opponent this year, marking the first time since 2001 and just
the second time since 1957 that the Aggies have faced that many top 25 ranked
teams. USU had 305 yards of total offense, but six turnovers and a season-high 13
penalties thwarted any chance the Aggies had of an upset. Boise State amassed 458
passing yards on the way to 563 yards of total offense. Senior QB Sean Setzer came
off the bench to throw for a career-best 226 yards with two TD's on 19-of-33 passing,
including a 51-yard scoring strike to sophomore TE Doug Barbour late in the second
half. That pass sent USU into halftime trailing, 28-7. Barbour was one of a season-high
12 different receivers to catch a pass for a total of 261 yards, USU's second-best
passing total behind 262 at Nevada on Oct. 18. It was Barbour's first career TD. USU
now has 10 different receivers with a TD catch, doubling last year's total and the most
since at least 1978. Junior WR Omar Sawyer had a team-high four catches for 37
yards while redshirt freshman RB Robert Turbin added three receptions for 51 yards,
including a career-long 29-yard TD catch from Setzer. Turbin's TD catch on the Aggies'
opening drive of the second half pulled USU within 28-14 with 13:41 to go in the third
quarter, but did not score again as BSU pulled away with 21 unanswered points. USU
recovered a BSU fumble on the Broncos' next drive at the Aggies' 27. After driving out
to midfield, a USU fumble gave the ball back to Boise State. The Broncos capitalized
six plays later on a 17-yard end-around TD pass. Kellen Moore threw for 362 yards on
27-of-36 passing for Boise State, tossing two TD's passes, as four different players had
TD throws, including two wide receivers and the back-up QB, part of the Broncos'
traditional bag of razzle-dazzle trick plays. Jeremy Childs had two TD catches as part
of his seven receptions for 135 yards, while Ian Johnson led the Boise State rushing
attack with 10 carries for 35 yards and a TD. Defensively, Utah State was led by senior
LB Jake Hutton's season-high 14 tackles, two off his career-best. It was Hutton's fifth
double-digit tackle outing this season and the seventh in the last 13 games, as well
as the 12th of his career. Senior DT Ben Calderwood and senior LB Paul Igboeli added
eight stops each, with Calderwood recording a tackle for loss, a forced fumble and
a fumble recovery while Igboeli notched a pass break-up. Junior S James Brindley
tallied seven stops and had his second interception of the season.
Quick Facts
GAME NINE RECAP
LOGAN, Utah - Behind sophomore QB Diondre Borel's 310 yards of total offense
and some pivotal turnovers by the defense, Utah State knocked off defending
Western Athletic Conference champion Hawai'i, 30-14, on Nov. 1 at Romney Stadium.
Borel helped the Aggies celebrate National College Football Day and USU Military
Appreciation Day by passing for 223 yards on a 14-of-19 effort with two TD's while rushing for 87 yards on 14 carries to give USU its first WAC win over Hawai'i in four tries. Utah
State now leads its series with Hawai'i, 5-4, as the Aggies' last win over the Warriors
was in 1966, as the two teams did not play from 1966 until 2005, USU's first season in
the WAC. The USU defense and special teams played a huge role in the Aggies' success, blocking two field goals, recovering a fumble inside the five, as well as forcing
and recovering a fumble on a kickoff return following USU's final score. USU amassed
368 yards of total offense, as Borel led USU in both rushing and passing for the fourth
game in a row and the sixth time this season. The Aggies had 145 rushing yards to go
with the 223 passing yards. UH had 374 total offense yards with 141 rushing and two
different QB's combined for 233 yards. Sophomore PK/P Peter Caldwell made all three
of his field goal attempts as well as all three extra points. It was a total team effort on
defense as four players: senior CB Roy Hurst, junior LB Paul Igboeli, junior S James Brindley and senior LB Jake Hutton, shared honors for leading tackles with six each. Igboeli
had the first blocked field goal of the game and also recovered the Hawai'i fumble
inside the five, thwarting the Warriors' third-quarter opening drive with USU holding
its 13-7 lead. The Aggies scored first on a 34-yard field goal from Caldwell on USU's
opening drive of the game, marking the second time in as many games to score on
its initial possession after failing to do so in the previous 14 games. On the Warriors'
ensuing possession, Igboeli ended the drive by blocking the field goal. Early in the
second quarter, Hurst sped around the edge to block UH's next field goal attempt.
USU went up 10-0 on the very next play on a 62-yard scoring strike from Borel to junior
WR Nnamdi Gwacham. On its very next possession, UH scored on a 34-yard pass from
starting QB Greg Alexander to Michael Washington to pull within, 10-7. That would be
the closest the Warriors would get as Caldwell booted another 34-yard field goal on
the first half's final play to send USU into intermission with a 13-7 lead, the Aggies' first
halftime lead of the season and just the sixth in the last three seasons. Hawai'i closed
to 20-14 with seven minutes remaining in the game on a 9-yard run by Alexander but
USU tacked on a 21-yard Caldwell field goal to take a 23-14 advantage. Facing a
fourth-and-10 from the USU 20, Hawai'i went for it, but senior S De'von Hall broke up
his second-straight pass and third of the day. The Aggies punched it in from there,
with a six-yard rumble by Turbin and Caldwell's PAT capped the scoring at 30-14. The
scoring wasn't almost done though, as Malcolm Lane had a 91-yard kickoff return,
but a gutsy effort by USU senior CB Joshua Taylor denied Lane, as Taylor forced the
fumble. Redshirt freshman WR Austin Alder scooped the ball and ran it out to the USU
22 where the Aggies ran out the clock and sparked the celebration.

GAME 11 RECAP
RUSTON, La. - Utah State battled back from a 35-17 deficit and took a 38-35 fourthquarter lead only to be overtaken by Louisiana Tech, losing 45-38, on Nov. 15 in a
hard-fought Western Athletic Conference battle. The Aggies fall to 2-9 overall and 2-5
in WAC action while the Bulldogs became bowl eligible with the win, improving to 6-4
overall and 4-2 in WAC play. USU out-gained LTU, 368-345, including 99 rushing yards
and three TD's by redshirt-freshman Robert Turbin, becoming the first Aggie running
back since Emmett White in 2001 with three rushing TD's. Turbin scored on a one-yard
TD, a 47-yard scamper for a score and a two-yard run. Freshman LB Bobby Wagner
led the Aggie defense with 10 tackles, while senior LB Jake Hutton added nine stops.
Senior S De'von Hall, junior DT Alan Bishop and junior DE Antonio May tallied seven
tackles each, as May notched a sack. Sophomore QB Diondre Borel added 56 yards
rushing and two TD's as well a throwing for 204 yards on 12-of-18 passing. However,
Borel threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns in the
first half, as La Tech built a 28-17 halftime lead. The Bulldogs tacked on a TD early
in the third quarter to go up 35-17, before the Aggies rebounded with an 11-yard
run by Borel. On LTU's next possession, redshirt-freshman DE Junior Keiaho blasted La
Tech QB Ross Jenkins, forcing a fumble that senior DE Ben Calderwood recovered,
giving USU the ball at the LTU 18. Two plays later, Turbin bulled in for a two-yard rush,
but USU's two-point conversion came up short, leaving the Aggies down, 35-30. The
USU defense held LTU to a three-and-out to get the ball back going into the fourth
quarter. Borel spearheaded the Aggies' drive and capped it with a 13-yard scamper
for a score and then darted in for the two-point conversion, his second of the season.
USU's 38-35 lead was short-lived though, as LTU countered with a six-play scoring
drive that Daniel Porter ended with a 22-yard TD run to put the Bulldogs back ahead,
42-38. However, the USU offense couldn't counterattack, punting it away. The Aggie
defense bent but didn't break and held the Bulldogs to a field goal to open a 45-38
lead. On USU's ensuing possession, Borel's pass was intercepted by LTU and the Bulldogs took three knee's to end the game.

November 22, 2008 • Logan, Utah • Romney Stadium
GAME 12 RECAP
LOGAN, Utah - Behind a tenacious defense and a season-high scoring offense led
by five rushing touchdowns, Utah State blasted New Mexico State, 47-2, on Nov. 22
at Romney Stadium in the season and WAC final for both teams. Utah State ended its
season with a 3-9 overall and 3-5 WAC ledger, marking the first time since 2005 that
the Aggies had three wins in a season. USU won three WAC games in a season for
the first time in the Aggies' four seasons in the league. It was also the first time since
2003 that USU won three conference games and just the third time in the 2000's. The
home team scored 21 first quarter points and had a 28-zip halftime lead, and the 28
first half points were USU's most in a first half since Oct. 25, 2003 vs. Arkansas State. The
skunk was run out of the stadium on a defensive safety early in the fourth quarter,
but the navy Aggies tacked on nine points after that, including a 56-yard field goal
by junior PK Chris Ulinski. Ulinksi's field goal was the second-longest in the WAC last
season behind the 58-yarder by Kevin Goessling of Fresno State as time expired to
beat USU, 30-28, on Oct. 25. It also was the fourth-longest field goal in the NCAA last
season. The 56-yarder is tied for the third-longest in USU school history, tying Micah
Knorr's 56-yard boot against Northern Illinois in 1995. Dene Garner has the top two
longest FG's in the school record books with a 59-yarder against the same NMSU
Aggies as well as a 58-yarder against SJSU in 1985. USU's 47 points was the most under
former head coach Brent Guy and the most since it scored since 49 points against
Arkansas State in 2003. In their final games as USU Aggies, seniors LB Jake Hutton and
DT Ben Calderwood anchored the USU defense which held NMSU to negative seven
yards rushing and 156 yards of total offense. Hutton tied a game-high with 10 tackles
while Calderwood only had three tackles, but they were all sacks for a total loss of
30 yards. Calderwood added a fumble recovery to boot. It was the first time USU has
held an opponent to negative rushing yards since Sept. 19, 1998 at Colorado when it
held the Buffaloes to negative two rushing yards. The negative seven rushing yards is
the sixth-best rushing defense output in school history. The Aggie offense had five different players score rushing TD's, led by freshman RB Ronald Scott's 64-yard scamper.
It was a season-long rush for USU and the longest since a 69-yard run by Travis Davis
vs. Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 1, 2003. Scott ended with a game-high 73 yards
rushing while sophomore QB Diondre Borel added 53 yards including a 6-yard TD
run. Redshirt-freshman RB Robert Turbin added 50 yards and a TD while freshman RB
Marquis Butler tallied 43 yards and another score. Borel was 14-of-24 passing for 118
yards while senior QB Sean Setzer was 4-of-5 for 51 yards including a 10-yard TD pass
to junior WR Xavier Bowman. Senior WR Otis Nelson led USU with 53 yards receiving
on three catches, ending his Aggie career with at least one catch in 30 consecutive
games, the third-longest active in the WAC, behind NMSU's A.J. Harris (45) and Chris
Williams (31). Utah State had 17 seniors play their final game in a USU Aggie uniform,
and were recognized with a pre-game ceremony.

Emmett White’s
NCAA Record-Setting Day
On Nov. 4, 2000, Utah State running back
Emmett White produced one of the greatest single-game performances in NCAA
history. The then-Aggie junior not only broke
the NCAA single-game all-purpose yardage
record, he demolished it.
The national record of 435 yards held by
Brian Pruitt of Central Michigan, set against
Toledo in 1994, was broken by an astonishing 143 yards as White accumulated 578
yards against New Mexico State.
White rushed 34 times for a school-record
322 yards, added 134 yards on seven receptions, had one punt return for two yards
and four kickoff returns for 120 yards. That
added up to 578 yards on 46 touches of the
football that November night.
Not only did White amass all of those yards,
he scored four touchdowns, including the
game-winner, a nine-yard run, with just :28
left in the game as USU won the contest in
Las Cruces 44-37.
He finished the season as the nation’s allpurpose yardage leader averaging 238.9
yards per game (39 yards more per game
than NCAA runner-up LaDainian Tomlinson
of TCU). That average is still the sixth-best
average in NCAA history.

New Mexico State, in winning its 15thstraight game, overcame Utah State, 20-13,
in a bruising Sun Bowl football battle. USU
owned a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when
halfback Tom Larscheid ran for 13 yards and
a touchdown. The score was set up with a
53-yard punt return by Ernie Reese, which
set a Sun Bowl record.
New Mexico State answered right back
in the second quarter. Quarterback Charley
Johnson’s three-yard pitch to Pervis Atkins
along with Atkins’ subsequent kick, tied the
score in the second period.
USU then regained the lead by driving 80 yards in 15 plays with Dolph Camilli
scoring from the 11. New Mexico State
took the lead for the first time in the third
quarter when Bob Gaiters ran for a 32-yard
touchdown. Johnson led the offense by
completing 18-of-26 passes, including two
for touchdowns.
Utah State’s final effort for victory was
denied in the fourth quarter when fullback
Doug Mayberry was stopped short of a first
down on a fourth down play. New Mexico
State then ran out the clock.
NMSU quarterback Charley Johnson
threw for 190 yards and was tabbed the
Sun Bowl’s MVP for the second straight year.
Johnson is the only player to earn the Sun
Bowl’s MVP honor twice.
The NMSU defense held the nation’s top
offense to just 268 total yards.
Utah State’s defense was equally as
impressive. USU, led by future Hall of Famer
Merlin Olsen, held the NMSU offense to only
224 yards, including just 44 rushing yards on
32 carries.

All-American quarterback Eddie LeBaron
led his Pacific Tigers onto victory, defeating
the Utah State Aggies, 35-21 in Lodi’s first
inaugural Grape Bowl football game. Only
six minutes into the game, Pacific fullback
Harry Kane scored on a 72-yard run. Utah
State answered with a 70-yard drive to land
on Pacific’s 1-yard line. Right halfback
John Worley fumbled, allowing halfback
Bruce Orvis to recover the ball and run it
back 99 yards for Pacific’s second score.
Early in the second quarter, LeBaron scored
on a quarterback sneak from the one, and
then threw for a 14-yard TD pass to left end
John Rohde a few minutes later. Sub halfback Wayne Hardin completed all five conversion attempts. Utah State came back
from halftime facing a 28-0 deficit. Quarterbacks John Caputo and John Sorensen
helped the Aggies with two touchdowns,
and in the final period, halfback Ernie Groll
intercepted a long pass by LeBaron on
the Pacific 42 and ran it back into the end
zone. Fullback Buss Williams converted all
three attempts. Utah State ran up 15 first
downs against the College of Pacific’s 17.
On the ground the Tigers gained 278 yards
against the Aggies’ 85.

A powerful San Jose State college grid
team shut out Utah State, 20-0 in the second Raisin Bowl at Fresno, Calif. San Jose
devastated the Aggies 16 to seven in first
downs, 177 to 74 in yards rushing and 110 to
49 in yards passing. Utah State’s all-conference center, Ralph Maughan, could not
offset San Jose’s halfbacks Bert Robinson
and Babe Nomura. San Jose did all of its
scoring in the second and third quarters. Bill
Schembel, a substitute halfback, passed
to quarterback Bill Jackson for the opening touchdown, then took an aerial from
Jackson for score number two. Bill Rhyne,
another substitute halfback, crossed the
goal line from the one yard line scoring the
third touchdown. Through the entire game,
Utah State threatened to score twice, once
in the first quarter when it reached the
San Jose one-yard line, and again at the
end of the fourth quarter when the Aggies
were again within a yard of the goal. Both
attempts were denied and Utah State was
confined to its own territory throughout most
of the game.

Utah State spotted Cincinnati a 28-point
advantage before scoring 19 of the game’s
final 26 points as the Aggies fell 35-19 in the
first Humanitarian Bowl at Boise, Idaho on
Dec. 29, 1997. The Aggies suffered through
their second-lowest offensive output of the
season in both scoring (16 at Oregon State)
and yardage (283 vs. New Mexico) in the
game. USU did not practice outdoors until
the two days prior to the game as the Aggies worked out in the USU fieldhouse for the
month between the end of the regular season and the bowl game. That rustiness was
evident as USU went scoreless in the first half
as Cincinnati put up a 21-0 halftime advantage. USU warmed up in the second half,
scoring three touchdowns in an eight minute span, but the Aggies were controlled by
a bigger, stronger Cincinnati team. Steve
Smith earned USU MVP honors as he had
four receptions for 136 yards and a 75-yard
touchdown, while also returning two punts
for 26 yards and two kickoffs for 58 yards.
The game was the final one for head coach
John L. Smith, who had announced that
he had taken the head coaching job at
Louisville immediately after the final regular
season game at North Texas. Cincinnati’s
Chad Plummer was selected as the
Bearcats’ MVP in the game after rushing for
53 yards, passing for 62 yards and catching
four passes for 64 more yards.

Quick Facts
Stan
Albrecht
Stan L. Albrecht was named Utah State University’s 15th president
and assumed his new position on Feb. 1, 2005.
At the time of the announcement, Albrecht was serving as
executive vice president and provost at Utah State, a position he
held since 2001. He previously served as its dean of the College of
Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences from 1998-2001.
During his tenure as President, Albrecht has announced a
comprehensive fund-raising campaign with an official fundraising
goal of $200 million. In March 2008, President Albrecht announced
that the university had exceeded the campaign goal only one year
after the announcement of the campaign’s public phase.
In August of 2008, the campaign goal was officially doubled from
$200 million to $400 million and the closing date for the campaign
was extended to July 2012.
Albrecht said the campaign’s success in its first year is impressive,
but the real message lies outside the numbers of dollars raised.
“The real message is in the lives of our students that have been
changed by the opportunities created for them as a result of the
generous gifts to our scholarship programs,” he said. “The real
message is that we are continuing to build a university of excellence,
a university of imagination, a university of promise and a university
that epitomizes leadership in all senses of the term.”
Prior to his arrival at Utah State, Albrecht served as an
administrator and professor at the University of Florida from 1993-98.
He also served for 18 years at Brigham Young University (1974-92),
including three years as academic vice president and associate
provost. He began his career as an assistant professor of sociology at
Utah State University in 1970 through 1974.
A sociologist, Albrecht has written extensively, including as a
co-author of the textbooks Social Psychology and Social Science
Research Methods, both published by Prentice-Hall. He has authored
numerous scholarly papers on a wide range of topics, including the
environment, energy development and rural health.

Utah State Athletics Directors
Season Preview
Since being named Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Utah
State University on March 7, 2008, Scott Barnes has worked tirelessly
to improve the landscape of Aggie Athletics and has cast a vision
that includes progress toward meeting many intercollegiate athletic
priorities. And despite the instability within the American economy
since his arrival at USU, Barnes’ list of accomplishments has generated
a newfound hope and excitement for USU Athletics.
During his first year on the job, Barnes has successfully negotiated
several new initiatives and has created a new intercollegiate
athletics-funding plan to include self-generated revenue, student
fees, and future institutional support to first stabilize and then grow
the annual operating budget.
Among Barnes’ many accomplishments thus far at Utah State
include a new student-fee referendum that will annually generate
$2.1 million for Aggie Athletics. He has also overhauled USU’s
development operations to include a 100 percent increase in Big
Blue Scholarship Fund dollars and membership over the next four
years, and created a new development position within the athletics
department to expand major gift and overall fund-raising efforts.
Another priority for Barnes during his first year on the job at Utah
State was improving the overall look of the football program. Plenty
of progress has already been made in this area as Barnes conducted
a very successful football coaching search that resulted in the hiring
of Gary Andersen, and has already raised over $1.2 million toward a
five-year goal of $2.5 million to improve the football program through
the creation of a Competitive Excellence Plan that calls for a new
scheduling philosophy, increased operational support and further
facilities developments.
As for facilities, Utah State continues to see constant improvement
under Barnes as its new Aggie Sports Hall of Honor, located on the first
floor of the new Jim & Carol Laub Athletics-Academics Complex, will
open in the fall of 2009. Construction for a new state-of-the-art offcourt facilities complex within the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum began in
the summer of 2009. These enhancements include new locker rooms
and lounge areas for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball,
and a new film room for women’s basketball and volleyball.
Along with upgrades to facilities and increased donations under
Barnes, Utah State also flourished athletically during the 2008-09
academic year as it claimed five Western Athletic Conference
team championships – men’s and women’s cross country, women’s
soccer, men’s basketball, men’s outdoor track and field – which is
the most in its four years in the WAC and tied for the most in a singleseason in school history as USU also won five Big West Conference
championships in 1994 and 1998.
During the 2008-09 seasons, Utah State claimed its first-ever
women’s soccer championship as it won a school record 13 matches,
including a perfect 7-0 record in league play. Its men’s basketball
program won a school record 30 games, claimed its second-straight
WAC Championship, and advanced to its 18th NCAA Tournament

in school history. And its track and field/cross country programs
continued to dominate the WAC as men’s cross country won its fourthstraight WAC Championship, and women’s cross country and men’s
outdoor track and field both won its second WAC Championship in
the last three years.
Even more impressive than Utah State’s athletic achievements
during the past year are its continued successes by its student-athletes
in the classroom. Overall, USU’s student-athletes traditionally rank
among the best in the WAC with an 82 percent graduation success
rate and a cumulative 3.04 grade-point average. During the 200809 academic year, USU had 181 student-athletes earn academic
all-WAC honors to lead the league, and 150 were recognized at its
annual Joe E. and Elma Whitesides Luncheon for earning a 3.2 or
better GPA.
Utah State has also been recognized nationally under the
leadership of Barnes as it was named the most economically efficient
athletics department in the nation in June, 2009 following a study
done by Texas A&M’s Laboratory for the Study of Intercollegiate
Athletics.
Barnes himself has also garnered national attention as he has
been selected to be a faculty member for the Division I Athletics
Director Association Institute in 2009.
Prior to joining the Aggie Family, Barnes spent over two years
(2005-07) as senior associate athletics director for advancement
at the University of Washington and was responsible for all external
operations for the athletics department with specific emphasis on
fundraising, ticket sales, multi-media rights management, marketing,
event promotion and communications.
Prior to working at Washington, Barnes spent six years (1999-2005)
as the athletics director at Eastern Washington University. During
his tenure at EWU, the Eagles experienced unparalleled success,
becoming the first athletics program in Big Sky Conference history to
win championships in football, men’s basketball, women’s volleyball
and women’s soccer in one calendar year. While at Eastern
Washington, he hired six head coaches and witnessed four of them
earn Big Sky Coach of the Year honors.
Barnes also had tremendous success at Eastern Washington
increasing operating funds for the athletics department by securing
the single-largest gift for athletics in EWU history for football stadium
renovations and a $3 million university soft drink contract. During his
time at Eastern Washington, Barnes was recognized by the National
Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as the
Division I-AA West Region AD of the Year.
Barnes began his career in athletics as the director of athletic
development at the University of San Diego from 1989-90. From
1990-94, Barnes held the position of executive director of the Pacific
Athletic Foundation and associate athletics director at the University
of the Pacific. Barnes then spent the next four years at Iowa State
University where he served as the director of athletic development
from 1994-95 and then associate athletics director for development
and special projects from 1995-97. Following his stint at Iowa State,
Barnes served as athletics director at Humboldt State in Arcata, Calif.,
from 1997-99.
Barnes, 47, received his bachelor’s degree from California State
University, Fresno in 1986, as well as his master’s degree in 1993 in
physical education with an emphasis in athletic administration. He
and his wife, Jody, were both
student-athletes at Fresno State,
as he was a member of the
basketball team, while she was a
member of the track team.
Barnes played professional
basketball in Germany from
1985-86. He has also coached
basketball at the high school and
club levels and was the general
manager of the Fresno Flames
of the World Basketball League
from 1988-89.
Barnes was born June 23, 1962
in Spokane, Wash. He and his wife
have one daughter, Milanna (13)
and one son, Isaac (11).

In its 48th year, the Western Athletic Conference
continues to evolve and feature some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing
that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of
the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA.
The WAC provides its student-athletes the
chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain
exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work
to achieve the highest levels of success with the
academic support of their respective institutions.
The WAC has experienced tremendous success.
The WAC has sent a total of 27 teams to bowl games
since 2001, including more than half of its teams in
2008 with a record-tying five teams. Boise State
has won 88 football games since joining the conference, the second most in the nation during that
time span (2001-08). The conference sent teams
to back-to-back BCS games as Hawai‘i earned a
bid to the 2008 Sugar Bowl following Boise State’s
unforgettable victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In
men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two
teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past
26 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has
competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990.
In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national
champions
since 2003 including Fresno
State’s College
World
Series
victory in 2008.
In
women’s
sports, Fresno
State softball
has competed
in every NCAA
Tournament
ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has
played in all but three.
Current WAC alums have made their presence
felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first
player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft. Cheryl Ford
(Louisiana Tech) was named the WNBA Rookie of
the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the
league’s championship in 2003. In 2004, the United
States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal
with former Fresno State players Laura Berg and
Lovie Jung. Jeff Weaver (Fresno State) earned the
win in the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series clinching victory in 2006. Quarterback Colt Brennan
(Hawai‘i) finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy
voting, and in 2008, Natasha Kai (Hawai‘i) helped
the United States to a gold medal in soccer at the
Olympics in Beijing.
In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most
respected broadcast entities in the country. An
extension was signed in 2008 that guarantees over
300 regular season WAC contests and 45 championship events will be aired on the ESPN networks
through the spring of 2017. The WAC also officially
added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships including volleyball, soccer, swimming
and diving, basketball, gymnastics, softball and
baseball.
The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s
11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back
to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league
of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.
The first championship was held in November
1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first
WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the
NCAA College World Series and, less than three
years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s
first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last
WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it
won the College World Series in 2008.
Since 1962, several changes have occurred.
UTEP and Colorado State became members in
September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State
withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air
Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored
championships only in men’s sports. However, a
merger with the High Country Athletic Conference
formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was
the first in which both men and women competed
under the WAC name. Fresno State was added
in 1992, and
then in 1996,
the women’s
programs from
Air Force and
Hawai‘i along
with six new
schools (UNLV,
Rice, San Jose
State,
SMU,
TCU and Tulsa)
came into the
WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State,
UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and
Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada
(2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech
(2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership
was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho, New
Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew.
The WAC has had just five commissioners in its
history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of
the conference and held the position from 19621968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71),
Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94)
and Karl Benson (1994-present).
Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11
women’s. For the men, there are championships
in baseball, basketball, cross country, football,
golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor
track and field. Championships for women are
held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics,
soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and
volleyball.
The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with
the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from
1964-66.

The Aggies
When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position.
Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he
also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few
years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC.
Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place
among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade
and an additional round of expansion with the invitations of New Mexico State, Utah State
and Idaho a few years ago.
Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball
Committee from 2002-06.
Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs
that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper
Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roady’s
Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl and New Mexico Bowl.
In the summer of 2005, he implemented “Play Up” a new marketing campaign to improve the public and private perceptions of the WAC and its members through national,
local and regional touch points. The conference officially added WAC.tv prior to the 200607 season, giving fans streaming video access to many of the postseason championships of
the sports offered by the WAC.
In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecast of its basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s
basketball contract, the first in conference history. In 2008, Benson negotiated an extension with ESPN that gives the WAC over 300 regular season contests and 45 championship
events that will be aired through the 2016-17 season.
Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the MidAmerican Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl.
Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than
four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC
commissioner.
Benson joined the NCAA staff in January, 1986, as a compliance representative and
was appointed assistant director of championships in June, 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant
directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships.
A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman
in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of
science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also
completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the
University of Utah.
Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State
University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in
Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 197984. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the
athletics department at Utah.
He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006.
Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 17.

time makes all the difference in being successful academically.
