SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – With the 2019 season behind them, Gary Andersen’s Aggies (and their fans) are already looking ahead to next season.
They will be without quarterback Jordan Love and running back Gerold Bright. The quarterback battle at Utah State is something to watch for at fall camp.
This season didn’t end the way Aggie fans would have hoped with a loss to Kent State in the Frisco Bowl but it will be Andersen’s second year back with the Aggies and things will be looking up.
Where would you like to see @jordan3love end up? šš #AggiesAllTheWay @USUFootballhttps://t.co/nITxEliLj5
