LOGAN – Utah State’s 31st football head coach, Bronco Mendenhall, received a standing ovation from the assembled crowd on the third floor of the West Stadium Center by Merlin Olsen Field Monday. The crowd filled with boosters, fellow coaches, current and former players and quite a few fans were there to witness what is being billed as the next chapter of Utah State football. But for all the questions that may end up being asked about what happens on the field, a lot more was asked about things off the field. Mendenhall has no plans to depart from his philosophy of prioritizing turning his players into those who will capable of “influencing (the) community in a positive way.” Mendenhall spoke proudly about having programs that would set new records for best grade point average and most service hours along with some of the best success on the field in school history. “Many in the world of college athletics today think those are mutually exclusive. That there’s not enough time and all we care about is football. It will take everything our players have to keep up with the football demands. And quite frankly, it won’t be for everyone,” Mendenhall said,
