Logan • A decade ago, Gary Andersen walked into Utah State University with a new job: coaching the Aggies football team. After a difficult first two season, he went 18-8 in his final two — including an 11-2 record, a No. 16 ranking in the Associated Press’ top 25, and a Famous Idaho Potato Bowl victory in 2012.
Now it’s 2019 and Andersen is back, facing an entirely different challenge than the one posed to him a decade ago. This time, he already has the 11-2 team. He already has a team that finished among the Top 25 in the Associated Press poll.
