LOGAN — The face might be familiar, but it’s definitely not 2009 anymore.
When Gary Andersen initially arrived in Logan to take over the Utah State football program, the Aggies hadn’t won more than five games in a season in 11 years. But during his first four years as the head football coach at USU, Andersen slowly managed to change the culture and put a winning team on the field, guiding the Aggies to seven wins in 2011 and 11 victories in 2012.
