Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE
COACH: Gary Andersen — At Utah State: 15-22, 3 years;
OVERALL: 19-29, 4 years
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Matt Wells
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Dave Aranda
LAST LEAGUE TITLE: 1997, Big West co-champions
LAST TIME DIDN’T GO BOWLING: 2010
RETURNING STARTERS: 13; 5 offense, 6 defense, kicker, punter
PLAYERS TO WATCH: QB Chuckie Keeton, QB Adam Kennedy, RB Kerwynn Williams, WR Matt Austin, C Tyler Larsen, DT Al Lapuaho
PRIMARY STRENGTHS: The Aggies have developed an exciting offense with a powerful running game and terrific speed. The unit should be dynamic again with experience on the offensive line and at quarterback.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS: The defense produced only 15 turnovers last year and must do better even without its top two playmakers. The offense also lost significant star power in two tailbacks who combined for 2,387 rushing yards and 34 total touchdowns last year.
