LOGAN, Utah – Former Utah State football great Dave Kuresa passed away on Monday, May 11. He was 63 years old. Kuresa was a four-year letterwinner at offensive guard for Utah State from 1981-84 and was named an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American three years in a row from 1982 to 1984. Kuresa earned first-team All-Pacific Coast Athletic Association accolades during his sophomore, junior and senior campaigns. He is one of just 10 Aggies all-time, including one of just two offensive linemen, to be a three-time first-team all-conference selection. Following his collegiate career, Kuresa was a long-time assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Mountain Crest High School in Hyrum, Utah. For the last four years, he was an assistant coach at Ridgeline High School in Millville, Utah. In 1993, Kuresa was named to the Utah State Football All-Century Team. Source link

The showcase lasted just shy of two hours, with roughly half, maybe slightly more, dedicated to 11-on-11 practice. There was no formal scrimmaging, scorekeeping or stats.

Across the 11-on-11 and even some 7-on-7 portions, there were no less than five turnovers, three interceptions and two fumbles recovered.
