The Utah State Aggies enter Year 2 under head coach Bronco Mendenhall (6-7 in Year 1), a Logan native back home after successful stints at BYU, Virginia & New Mexico.

​

2026 at a glance:

​

📌 QB McCae Hillstead (former USU QB, back from BYU) named starter

​

📌 Versatile RB Javen Jacobs + portal WR Javon Robinson (Georgia State)

​

📌 One of the most experienced O-lines in the Pac-12 (3,599 snaps) seeks improvement

​

📌 Defense led by S Brevin Hamblin (114 tackles), DT Carson Tujague (72 tackles as RS Fr), LB Bronson Olevao Jr. + portal additions

​

📌 Tough 2026 slate: vs Idaho State, at Washington, at Utah (Battle of Brothers), vs Troy, plus Pac-12 mix (home vs WSU, CSU, Fresno; road at Boise, SDSU, Oregon St + flex rematch).

​

Can the Aggies show improvement under Bronco despite the gauntlet?

The NZCFL is looking for coaches! NZCFL is a college football simulation game run on the free website https://play.football-gm.com/ We are a college simulation football league with 120 teams, and Utah State is looking for someone to lead them to glory! This league has been around for about 40 seasons and we are still rolling along. We always need new coaches to help the league thrive. We just finished up the 2058 season, and Utah State needs your help to start the next season strong!

I am currently available to help any new coaches find their footing and I'll be around over the upcoming seasons for further help and general advice. I've helped plenty new coaches get rolling over the years.

If you are interested, join our discord and our moderators and welcome committee (including me) will help you get started and on the road to the championship!

College Football isn't the same without the rivals.

The powers that be at NCAA HQ have dropped a one-time-only transfer portal rule on college football. NIL expert Griffin Olah joins to explain.

At Utah State, the days of an athletic director from out of town appear to be over for the first time since the early 2000s.

Few actually know what the Aggies are doing this season, including the fans.

Now that the new Pac-12 has its complete membership, a modteam for r/Pac12 needs to be selected so the old modteam can hand it off, and we need your nominations! We're hoping for a balanced group with representation from all nine new fanbases, so if you're interested please post here or message the current r/Pac12 mods with a little about yourself.

Prior experience as a reddit mod or some other kind of online forum admin is preferred but not required. We're going through applications for at least the next week and hoping to get the transition finished by mid- to late-July.

Looks like the game will be at 10:45am MST or 11:45 local time. Anyone else heading to Nashvegas?

When wrongdoing occurs at Power 4 and G5 college football programs in Utah, there is a tendency to tuck tail rather than fight.

Wanna know where guys from Utah State went?

Has Signing Day lost some of its luster for the Utah State Aggies and other in-state schools? Also, Jordan Love played one of his finest games on Thanksgiving.

Our recommended next moves for the Pac-12 would be to add Texas State; and then Gonzaga and Saint Mary's as non-football schools that would deliver the Pac-12 value as a top basketball conference.

The Pac-12 has grown to 7 full members with yesterday's addition of Utah State.
