Utah State to Start Backup Quarterback

Utah State is dealing with a key injury at the quarterback position. Utah State will start backup quarterback Cooper Legas against BYU. Legas, a junior from nearby Orem, has appeared in four games for Utah State. This will be Legas' first career start at quarterback. USU starting quarterback Logan Bonner will not dress for the game due to injury.

Now in his third year with the program, Legas is known by Utah State fans as the backup quarterback that led Utah State to victory in the LA Bowl last year. In four games played, he has thrown for 211 yards and he has completed 49% of his passes. Legas has struggled in limited reps this season. He has completed 7/17 passes for 40 yards and 1 interception this year.
