    The death of Mike Leach nearly two and a half years ago sent significant reverberations across the college football world. Leach was beloved by fans across the sport for his acerbic wit, and he was a successful, winning coach at multiple Power conference schools - Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State - while employing arguably the most dramatic version of the Air Raid offense the sport has ever seen.

    It has been three seasons now since Utah State football was numbered among the best teams in the Group of Five. In 2021, the Aggies caught lightning in a bottle and pulled off one of the most impressive season-to-season turnarounds in recent memory, capping it off with the program's first Mountain West Conference title.

Former Denver star Madison Ulrich visited Utah. If she does join the Red Rocks as a transfer, that will be a major win. She’d be arguably the most notable transfer to Utah ever. https://t.co/stVHc19sxT
