College football is finally returning to Cache Valley as Utah State will host its season opener against UTEP this Saturday to kick off the 2025 season. The offseason has featured change after change after change and plenty of secrecy. But all that is new and secret will be seen and known come Saturday evening when the gates open at Merlin Olsen Field. The secrecy of the team has been a very consistent theme. Utah State’s first-year head coach, Bronco Mendenhall, has pretty much only been open about the fact that his team wants to maintain every competitive advantage. That meant no public practices and no spring or fall scrimmages that have always been open to at least the media if not also the fans. It also meant very little details about the team were given even during the numerous interviews the team still allowed throughout the summer. Even when Week 1 officially began on Monday with the press conference, details were still sparse. The team’s depth chart, usually contained in the game notes, was left entirely blank.
