LOGAN — Utah State football’s practice schedule is changing slightly over the next few days and will now include the squad’s first scrimmage of the spring on Monday afternoon.
The Aggies are scheduled to practice on Friday afternoon from 2:45-4:30 p.m. on the turf of Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium, then return to the turf on Monday afternoon for their first scrimmage of the spring. USU head coach Gary Andersen and his staff will put the squad through a roughly 80-play scrimmage starting at approximately 3 p.m. Andersen expects every player to get some reps, as the scrimmage will cover various game situations which will allow the coaches to fully evaluate the players.
USU will not practice Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, but then resume its morning schedule on Thursday.
Practices are currently scheduled to be open to the public, but are subject to change. When the Aggies are on Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium, fans must remain in the stands at all times. When USU in the Laub Indoor Facility, fans must remain in the opening by the doorway.
The Blue-White Spring Game presented by Orbit Irrigation Products will be on Saturday, April 28, at 2 p.m. at Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium. Admission will again be free to the public and further details along with events surrounding the spring game will be released at a later date.
