UTAH STATE QUICK FACTS

WHAT TO WATCH FOR...• Utah State will be opening a season with consecutive home games for the 25th time in school history, but for just the third time since the 1954 season. The last time USU started a season with back-to-back home games was in 1996 when it defeated Utah (20-17) and CS Northridge (57-27).• Utah State is 1-0 to start a season for the first time since 1997 when it won at Utah, 21-14. The last time USU started a season 2-0 was that same year as it also defeated Idaho State (41-7) at home.• Utah State is playing Utah for the 110th time in series history, which is the oldest rivalry in school history. USU’s second-oldest rival is BYU (81 games). The series began in 1892 with a USU win (12-0) and the two teams played one another on an annual basis for 90 straight seasons (1919-2009) minus the 1943 year when neither school fielded a team due to World War II. However, in 2010 the series took a two-year hiatus. Overall, the USU-UU series is tied for the 12th-most played series in the nation at the FBS level and tied for the 22nd-most played series in college football. • Utah State has 55 players in its program from the state of Utah, while Utah has 44 players on its roster from the Beehive state.• Utah State head coach Gary Andersen spent 11 years as an assistant at Utah (1997-2002, 2004-08) and two years with the Utes as a player (1985-86). Andersen also earned his bach-elors degree in political science from Utah in 1986. All-time, Andersen is 0-1 against Utah losing in Salt Lake City, 35-17, in his first game as USU head coach on Sept. 3, 2009.• Utah State will be looking for its seventh-straight regular season win dating back to 2011 and that six-game regular season winning streak ranks tied for the sixth-longest active streak in the nation along with Baylor. LSU has the longest active regular season winning streak at 13, followed by Georgia (11), Louisiana Tech (7), TCU (7), Virginia Tech (7), USU and Baylor.• Utah State has won each of its last three home games and is 11-7 (.611) at home under Andersen including a 6-1 (.857) non-conference record and a 4-0 mark against in-state opponents. Those six non-conference home wins were against Southern Utah (53-34, 2009), Idaho State (38-17, 2010), BYU (31-16, 2010), Weber State (54-17, 2011), Wyoming (63-19, 2011), and Southern Utah (34-3, 2012), while its lone non-conference home loss was to Colorado State (35-34, 2OT, 2011). All-time, USU is 116-95 (.550) at Romney Stadium.

LAST MEETING AGAINST UTAH - (#19 UU 35, USU 17)September 3, 2009 • Salt Lake City, Utah • Rice-Eccles StadiumMatt Asiata rushed for a career-high 156 yards and 19th-ranked Utah amassed 519 yards of total offense as the Utes extended its nation-long winning streak to 15 straight games with a 35-17 win against Utah State on Thursday Sept. 3, 2009 in both teams season-opener. Sophomore running back Robert Turbin led USU’s new spread-offense with a career-high 148 rushing yards, including a school-record 96-yard scamper in the second quarter. The 96-yard run tops the previous school record of 95 yards by Percy Hanson in 1920, the Ag-gies’ longest individual record. Turbin’s 148 yards are the most for a USU individual since James Samuals’s 159 yards vs. Troy State in 2002. USU ended the game with 221 yards rushing and 342 total yards. Utah State’s first drive of the season was its most impressive as junior college transfer running back Michael Smith ran for 11 yards on its first play, fol-lowed by two more on the next play before junior quarterback Diondre Borel connected with junior wide receiver Stanley Morrison for a 48-yard pass play that gave the Aggies first and 10 on the Utes 18-yardline. Following a false start on its next play, the possession stalled and USU settled for a 29-yard field goal by senior placekicker Chris Ulinski. Utah State had a chance to extend its early lead as the Aggie defense forced the first turnover of the game on the Utes second play from scrimmage as junior defensive tackle Sean Enesi forced an Asiata fumble that was recovered by sophomore linebacker Bobby Wagner on the Utes 28. However, USU was unable to score as it missed a 48-yard field goal. Following the Aggies’ first two possessions, Utah quickly changed the momentum of the game as it scored back-to-back touchdowns on a 65-yard pass play and a 22-yard pass play to make the score 14-3 for the home team. Utah State then cut the score to 14-10 on Turbin’s 96-yard touchdown run to make the score 14-10 at the end of the first quarter as the Aggies had 179 yards of total offense as compared to 185 for the Utes. Utah opened the second quarter by scoring 12 straight points via an 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive, a safety following a blocked punt, and a 44-yard field goal to make the score 26-10. USU ended the half on a positive note following an interception from senior safety James Brindley as Borel capped a three-play, seven-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 51 seconds remaining in the half to cut the Utes lead to 26-17. An offensive explosion in the first-half turned into a defensive battle in the second-half as the only points scored after intermission were by the home team as Utah scored a touchdown midway through the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Asiata, and capped the scoring with another safety with 49 seconds to play in the game. Utah State managed just 120 yards of total offense in the second-half, but limited the Utes to 210 yards. Brindley led the Aggies with 14 tackles in the game, one shy of his career-high, while Wagner posted a career-high 12 stops.

GAME-BY-GAME RESULTS



UTAH STATE RETURNS PLENTY OF TALENT IN 2012Utah State returns 19 starters (O-8, D-6, S-5) and 44 lettermen (O-19, D-20, S-5) from last year’s team that finished with a 7-6 record and tied for second-place in the Western Athletic Conference with a 5-2 mark as it participated in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (L, 24-23 vs. Ohio), its first bowl game since 1997. Highlighting Utah State’s returners is ju-nior center Tyler Larsen who earned first-team all-WAC honors a year ago. Along with Larsen, USU returns seven other starters on offense (WR-Matt Austin; WR-Chuck Jacobs; QB-Chuckie Keeton; QB-Adam Kennedy; LT-Oscar Molina-Sanchez; RT-Eric Schultz; RB/KR-Kerwynn Wil-liams), six starters on defense (FS-McKade Brady; LB-Bojay Filimoeatu; DT-Al Lapuaho; CB-Nevin Lawson; LB-Tavaris McMillian; CB-Jumanne Robertson) and five special teams starters (P-Tyler Bennett; PK/H-Jaron Bentrude; KO-Jacob Haueter; LS-Nate Needham; PK-Josh Thompson).

RECAPPING 2011Along with playing in its first bowl game in over a decade during the 2011 season, Utah State’s seven overall wins and five league victories were its most since 1993, while its second-place conference finish was its best since the 2000 team ended the year second in the Big West. Furthermore, those five league wins in 2011 were tied with five other teams (1953, 1960, 1990, 1991, 1993) for the most in school history, while its seven overall wins are tied for the 10th most all-time at USU. Utah State also won its final five games of the regular season in 2011, which is tied for the eighth-longest winning streak in school history and the longest since the 1993 squad won its final six games of the year. USU’s three-win turnaround from four wins in 2010 to seven wins in 2011 was among the top 15 in the Football Bowl Subdivision for the year.

WHAT UTAH STATE MUST REPLACE IN 2012Utah State lost five players who earned all-WAC honors in 2011 high-lighted by senior running back Robert Turbin who was named the WAC’s Offensive Player of the Year. Senior offensive lineman Philip Gapelu and senior linebacker Bobby Wagner both earned first-team all-WAC honors, while senior tight end Tarren Lloyd and senior defen-sive end Levi Koskan were both named to the second-team. Other offensive starters lost include guards Robert Hill and Funaki Asisi, wide receivers Stanley Morrison and Eric Moats, and running back Michael Smith. Other defensive starters lost include end Quinn Garner, line-backer Kyle Gallagher and safety Alfred Bowden.

THREE AGGIES SELECTED IN 2012 NFL DRAFTUtah State had three players selected in the 2012 NFL Draft as line-backer Bobby Wagner was chosen in the second round (47) by the Seattle Seahawks, while running back Robert Turbin was chosen in the fourth round (106) by the Seattle Seahawks and fellow running back Michael Smith was picked in the seventh round (212) by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

UTAH STATE MUST REPLACE 2011 WAC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEARJunior running back Robert Turbin was named the WAC’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2011, marking the first time in its seven years in the league and just the second time in school history that USU has had an offensive player of the year in its league joining Kendall Smith (WR) who was the Big West Conference Offensive MVP in 1988. Turbin rushed for 1,517 yards and led the WAC in scoring with 23 touchdowns and 138 points in 2011. The junior finished his career as the school’s all-time leader in scoring with 308 points and total touchdowns with 51.

WAGNER LEAVES UTAH STATE AS A THREE-TIME FIRST-TEAM ALL-WAC SELECTIONLinebacker Bobby Wagner earned first-team all-WAC honors each of his final three seasons at Utah State and is one of just eight players in school history to be a three-time first-team all-conference selection. Wagner ended his career with 446 career tackles to rank first all-time in WAC and tied for first all-time in school history.

Sophomore running back Joe Hill ran for a career-best 116 yards and three touchdowns as USU won its sixth-straight regular-season game while improving to 37-14-1 when opening a season at home, after losing its previous three home openers to start a season. With Thursday’s win, the Aggies improve to 3-0 against the Thunderbirds, and have out-scored them 87-37 in their last two meetings after USU’s 53-34 win on Sept. 26, 2009 in Gary Andersen’s first home game as USU head coach. The Aggies amassed 569 yards of total offense Thursday night, the 13th-most in school history and the most since last season when USU put up 635 yards on Weber State in its home-opener. The Aggies totalled 265 total rushing yards, as senior running back Kerwynn Williams added 15 carries for 63 yards. Sophomore quarterback Chuckie Keeton was 22-of-25 passing for 304 yards, with two touchdowns, one to senior wide receiver Chuck Jacobs for 48-yards to cap USU’s opening scoring drive that ate up 97 yards. Keeton added a 35-yard scoring toss to senior wide receiver Matt Austin on the Aggies’ next possession after a 30-yard punt return by Jacobs gave USU the ball at the SUU 45. Keeton’s 22 completions and 304 passing yards were both career-highs. On the Aggies’ third possession, Hill dashed in from 27-yards out, capping a 98-yard drive for a 21-0 USU lead with 1:01 on the first quarter clock. Austin led USU with five catches for a career-high 119 yards and the one touchdown, while Jacobs tallied four receptions for 64 yards and a score. SUU quarterback Brad Sorensen was 12-of-31 for 153 yards, while getting intercepted by USU redshirt-freshman linebacker La’Bradford Harold in the end zone to end the game. Henna Brown led the T-Birds in rushing with nine carries for 21 yards, while Fatu Moala had five catches for 68 yards. The Aggie defense held its opposition to single-digits for the first time since a 24-9 win against San Jose State on Nov. 7, 2009, and the fewest under head coach Gary Andersen. Senior safety McKade Brady, senior cornerback Terrence Alston and junior linebacker Zach Vigil all posted five tackles, with Alston posting one sack, matching junior defensive end Connor Williams with one sack. Overall, the 209 yards of total offense allowed by USU was its fewest since New Mexico State had just 156 total yards during the 2008 season. The T-Birds were led by Namar Flentroy and Rickey Clark with 13 tackles each. SUU got on the board with 7:49 on the clock in the second quarter on a 22-yard field goal from Colton Cook to make the score 21-3, which it would remain at the half. Utah State took the second-half kickoff and marched down the field, with Hill darting in from 19-yards out to put USU ahead, 28-3, just 3:07 into the second half. Hill capped his three-touchdown outing with a 33-yard scoring scamper with 14:51 left in the fourth quarter, but the PAT failed.

ANDERSEN TIDBITS

• Andersen was named Utah State’s head football coach on Dec. 4, 2008, becoming the 26th head coach in 115 years of Aggie football.

• Andersen has coached a total of 25 play-ers on NFL rosters, including Bobby Wagner (2nd/47th), Robert Turbin (4th/106th) and Michael Smith (7th/212th) who were all se-lected in the 2012 Draft, while Curtis Marsh (3rd/90th) was drafted in 2011.

• Andersen has coached 18 first-team all-conference players, including three-time first-team all-WAC linebacker Bobby Wag-ner. Other USU notable players coached by Andersen include first-team all-WAC running back Robert Turbin who was also named the WAC’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2011, first-team all-WAC offensive lineman Philip Gapelu and first-team all-WAC center Tyler Larsen.

• In 2011, Andersen led Utah State to its first bowl game, the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, since the 1997 season. Furthermore, USU’s seven overall wins and five league wins in 2011 were its most since 1993, while its second-place conference finish was its best since 2000.

• Utah State’s five league wins in 2011 were tied with five other Aggie teams (1953, 1960, 1990, 1991, 1993) for the most in school history.

• Utah State won its final five games of the regular season in 2011, which is tied for the eighth-longest winning streak in school his-tory and the longest since the 1993 squad won its final six games of the year.

• Utah State’s three-win turnaround from four wins in 2010 to seven wins in 2011 was among the top 15 in the Football Bowl Sub-division for the year.

• Under Andersen, Utah State has had 66 players earn academic all-WAC honors, including a league-leading 18 during the 2011-12 academic year.

• Under Andersen, Utah State has gradu-ated 84 players, including 26 who gradu-ated during the 2011-12 academic year.

• At Utah, Andersen coach two players who earned Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors three times in John Frank (1999) and Eric Weddle (2005, 2006). Weddle was also a consen-sus first-team All-America in 2006, while Morgan Scalley earned second-team All-American honors in 2004.

• Andersen was a part of two Utah teams that went 2-0 in BCS action, finishing No. 2 in the 2008 AP Poll and No. 4 in 2004.

Gary Andersen was named Utah State’s 26th head coach on Dec. 4, 2008, and since that day Andersen and his staff have worked non-stop to create a culture of accountabil-ity and responsibility that would translate into success both on and off the field. And in 2011, Aggie fans saw that plan pay dividends as USU produced a 7-6 record (5-2 Western Athletic Conference) and partici-pated in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the school’s first bowl game since 1997. In his first three years at Utah State, Ander-sen has compiled a 15-22 (.407) record in-cluding a 10-13 (.435) WAC mark as those 15 wins are the most by an Aggie coach in his first three years since John L. Smith went 16-18 (.471) from 1995-97. Furthermore, Andersen has coached 10 players who have earned first or second team all-WAC honors and six players who are currently on NFL rosters, in-cluding Michael Smith, Robert Turbin and Bobby Wagner who were all selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. That trio of Aggies drafted in 2012 is the most selections in one year since five USU players were chosen in 1980. Wag-ner, who was drafted in the second round (47) by the Seattle Seahawks, becomes the highest drafted Aggie since Rulon Jones was the 42nd overall pick in the second round in 1980 by the Denver Broncos. Along with playing in its first bowl game in over a decade during the 2011 season, Utah State’s seven overall wins and five league victories were its most since 1993, while its second-place conference finish was its best since the 2000 team ended the year sec-ond in the Big West. Furthermore, those five league wins in 2011 were tied with five other teams (1953, 1960, 1990, 1991, 1993) for the most in school history, while its seven over-all wins are tied for the 10th most all-time at Utah State. Utah State also won its final five games of the regular season in 2011, which is tied for the eighth-longest winning streak in school history and the longest since the 1993 squad won its final six games of the year. USU’s three-win turnaround from four wins in 2010 to seven wins in 2011 was among the top 15 in the Football Bowl Subdivision for the year.

HEAD COACH GARY ANDERSENUtah, 1986Fourth Year at Utah StateFifth Year as a Collegiate Head Coach

During the 2011 season, Andersen’s high-octane spread offense was statistically one of the best in the country as it led the WAC and ranked sixth in the nation in rushing of-fense (282.69 ypg). USU also ranked first in the WAC and 18th in the nation in passing efficiency (151.8), first in the WAC and 23rd in the nation in scoring offense (33.62 ppg), second in the WAC and 20th in the nation in total offense (457.31 ypg), and second in the WAC and 33rd in the nation in fewest sacks allowed per game (1.38 pg). In 2011, Utah State also established school records for total offense (5,945 yards), rush-ing yards (3,675), total points (437) and total touchdowns (60). Highlighting Utah State’s offense in 2011 was junior running back Robert Turbin who ended the season as the WAC’s Offensive Player of the Year, USU’s first in its six years in the league, and just its second such of-fensive award in school history. During the season, Turbin ranked first in the WAC and eighth in the nation in scoring (10.62 ppg), second in the WAC and 13th in the nation in rushing (116.69 ypg), and sixth in the WAC and 40th in the nation in all-purpose yard-age (129.85 ypg). He ended the year set-ting single-season school records for rushing touchdowns (19), total touchdowns (23) and points scored (138), while his 1,517 rushing yards rank third all-time at USU for a single-season. Turbin, who was drafted in the fourth round (106) of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks, ended his Aggie career ranking first in both total touchdowns (51) and points scored (308), while his 3,315 ca-reer rushing yards ranks fifth all-time in school history. Andersen’s defense was also formidable during the 2011 season as it ended the year ranking first in the WAC and 50th in the na-tion in total defense (366.23), second in the WAC and 31st in the nation in rushing de-fense (127.70 ypg), second in the WAC and 53rd nationally in tackles for loss (5.92 pg), third in the WAC and 48th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (125.58), and third in the WAC and 59th in the nation in sacks (1.92 pg). Utah State’s top defensive player in 2011 was Wagner who earned first-team all-WAC honors after ranking first in the league and eighth nationally with 11.31 tackles per game. Wagner, who is one of just eight

players in school history to be a three-time first-team all-conference selection, ended his career with 446 career tackles to rank first all-time in WAC and tied for first all-time in school history. Along with all of his Utah State accolades, Wagner also received some national exposure after being named the Most Valuable Player of the 2012 Senior Bowl, leading the North to a 23-13 win. Smith was also recognized for his per-formance in the Players Classic All-Star Game as he was named the North’s Offensive MVP. Other Aggies to earn first-team all-WAC honors un-der Andersen’s tutelage include offensive linemen Philip Gapelu (2011) and Tyler Larsen (2011), while those who have been named to the league’s second-team include defensive end Levi Koskan (2011), tight end Tarren Lloyd (2011), defensive back Curtis Marsh (2010) and Turbin (2009). Along with all of Utah State’s success on the field un-der Andersen, there has been just as much success in the classroom as 66 Aggies have earned academic all-WAC honors, while another 84 have graduated from the Univer-sity. Furthermore, Utah State had 18 football players earn academic all-WAC honorees this past year to rank first in the conference. Andersen came to Utah State after five seasons as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and defen-sive line coach at Utah, where he helped guide the Utes to a 13-0 record in 2008. 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 Ala-bama. In 2008, Andersen was named a finalist for the Broyles Award, honoring the top assistant coach in college foot-ball. He was also named a Rivals.com top 10 non-BCS re-cruiter in 2008 and tabbed as the No. 1 non-BCS recruiter by Rivals.com in 2005. 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. During his ten-ure at Utah, Andersen was a part of seven winning bowl teams, including two BCS Bowls as Utah went 12-0 in 2004 and won the Fiesta Bowl, along with its perfect record and Sugar Bowl win in 2008. During his tenure at Utah, Andersen coached 14 first-team all-conference players (three in 2008), 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 also coached 10 Ute 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 as-sistant head coach and offensive coordinator at South-eastern Louisiana, where he coached for one season before going to Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho) 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, as-sistant head coach/defensive line/special teams). A 1986 graduate of Utah, Andersen earned his bach-elor’s degree in political science. He played center for Utah from 1985-86 after garnering first-team junior college All-American honors in 1984 at Ricks College. Andersen is married to the former Stacey Lambert, and they have three sons: Keegan (21) and twins Chasen and Hagen (17). Keegan is currently a sophomore tight end on Utah State’s football team, while Chasen and Hagen are both seniors at Logan High School. Andersen’s brother, Mark, is USU’s director of football operations.
