Utah State crushes South Dakota Mines by 53 points – Cache Valley Daily

LOGAN — All games need to be played to the finish but for some the result can be seen from far off. Such was Utah State’s 101-48 win over South Dakota Mines in the Aggies season/home opener Monday evening. The first couple of possessions were the best the Hardrockers had it all night. Their 6-foot-8 forward won the tip against 7-foot Isaac Johnson and then Alejandro Rama drilled a mid-range jumper for the visitors. South Dakota Mines even responded to USU’s 3-pointer on the other end with a pair of baskets to go up 6-3. Cue the dominance of Utah State in this one. The Aggies exploded for a 16-0 run, propelling them to a double-digit lead that never came back to single digits. Great Osobor, playing for the first time in an Aggie uniform after missing the team’s exhibition last Friday, factored heavily into that run. He scored the first seven points of that 16-point run, making a turnstile of the South Dakota Mines’ post defenders to create open shots at the rim nearly at will. At other times Osobor took rebounds or steals and dribbled the ball up the court himself, even going one-on-one with guys on the

The end of Utah State’s QB controversy – Cache Valley Daily

Utah State quarterback Cooper Legas (5) looks to throw the football during an NCAA football game on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023 in Logan, Utah. (AP Photo/Tyler Tate) If you only got one word to describe the Utah State football team under Blake Anderson, there’s only once choice for a descriptor: resilient. How else could one encapsulate years of consistent comeback victories, refusing to lay down and accept a lost season when many others would have done so in a similar situation, and players being benched only to become heroes down the line? After Saturday’s win over San Diego State, the most recent example of the Aggies’ resilience, Anderson was asked if resilient was a good way to describe his team. “I think resilient is a great word,” Anderson said. “I think it’s a very close-knit group of guys that care about each other, care about our coaching staff. We throw the word love around a lot in that building. Player-to-player, player-to-coach, coach-to-player, and I think it shows on the field.” And of all the players on this football team, the exemplar of Utah State’s resilience has to be its quarterback, Cooper Legas. Twice he’s lost the quarterback battle to McCae
