LOGAN — This year’s Spring Showcase for Utah State football wasn’t quite as long or intense as previous years, a deliberate, predetermined choice by head coach Blake Anderson since his team’s roster had been whittled down due to injuries and numerous transfer portal entries. A Friday afternoon announcement detailed how the Aggies’ usual scrimmage this time of year was being downgraded to a “light practice.” Despite that, the Aggies were able to run about an hour’s worth of 11-on-11 scrimmaging. “We did as much as we could do safely,” Anderson said. “You could tell really quickly that we’re short on tight ends. We didn’t have any tight ends with the ones, we’re only down to one scholarship (running) back.” More than a dozen players were absent due to injury or personal reasons, including expected starters/rotation players like Rahsul Faison, Max Alford and Micah Davis. Along with being down to dangerously few tight ends and running backs, the Aggies also only had two healthy rostered quarterbacks — Spencer Petras and Bryson Barnes. Zeke Payne, the only other QB on the roster, was out with an injury. But while the missing players were fairly numerous, Anderson said the only player currently at risk

LOGAN, Utah – Utah State football will hold a light practice in lieu of its annual Blue vs. White Spring Showcase on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium on Saturday, April 20. The team will begin warming up at 12:30 p.m., and the practice will conclude around 1:30 p.m. “Due to injuries and attrition this spring, the number of available players is not where we need it be to hold a traditional spring game, so we will hold a light practice,” said USU head coach Blake Anderson. “Everyone that is available to practice will practice, but it will be in drill settings.” Fans will have the opportunity to win prizes during the practice with various on-field competitions. Following the practice, Utah State’s football players will participate in a youth clinic on the field for all kids ages 12 and under. Gates at Maverik Stadium will open at noon. The South Ticket Office at Maverik Stadium, as well as concessions on the south concourse, will also open at noon. Ticket office representatives will be available to answer any ticket-related questions and assist with football season ticket renewals. Fans will also have the opportunity to buy official Utah State gear at its
