LOGAN — Just days into the spring transfer window, Utah State’s quarterback depth chart had taken a massive hit with the losses of Cooper Legas and McCae Hillstead. Those losses, combined with the retirement of Levi Williams, meant that 100 percent of the Aggies’ production at the position was lost to offseason attrition. Legas and Hillstead’s departures were dampened somewhat by the news that incoming Iowa transfer, Spencer Petras, had won the starting job outright in spring ball, but depth is a necessity at QB. Last year, due to injuries among other factors, USU had to start three different quarterbacks — Legas, Hillstead and Williams. The same happened in 2022 with Legas, Logan Bonner and Bishop Davenport all starting at least once. In 2021 Bonner started every game but Andrew Peasley led the USU rally against Air Force that year and Legas held down the fort in the team’s bowl game against Oregon State after Bonner left with an injury. History pretty heavily suggests that head coach (and QB coach) Blake Anderson will need to have good depth in his quarterback room to keep the season’s prospects as high as possible. That’s what ultimately made losing Legas and Hillstead hurt
