As the Falcons head to Logan to take on the Aggies, it was just over a year ago that a loss to the eventual Conference champs actually cost Air Force the Mountain Division. The 2022 variety of Utah State has not looked the same as the former champs, both by play and not surprisingly, roster composition.
Last season, the Aggies enjoyed a great deal of benefit from the transfer portal. Despite a number of high profile transfers, they’ve not experienced the same success this year. Logan Bonner is out for the year, which has since given the reins of the offense over to Junior quarterback, Cooper Legas. Plus the absence of a Justin Rice on the defense will always be felt.
Don’t cry for the Aggies though, they still have a number of talented players at various positions. And coach Blake Anderson is a proven winner. It may take some of his finest coaching…
