LOGAN — Spring ball is well under way for Utah State, with a week of practices already under their belts and the first spring showcase less than two weeks away. It’s the first wave of the 2024 college football season here in Cache Valley. The rather up-and-down 2023 season gave Aggie fans whiplash. One week there’d be incredible excitement with stars like Jalen Royals or Ike Larsen making huge plays and another fans were wringing their hands over an unstable quarterback position and/or porous defense. Despite the frustrations, there’s plenty to be excited for with the 2024 version of the Aggies. Unlike last year, the team hasn’t faced a significant drain in talent by way of the transfer portal. That leaves a lot more room for internal development along with improvements via the additions in the portal, which has been a lot more friendly since it did much more giving than taking than last year. Over the last 10 years or so, the formula for Utah State football has been mediocre seasons broken up by more spectacular years every few years or so, here’s a visualization of that using each season’s record dating back to 2014. 2014: 10-4 2015: 6-7
