LOGAN, Utah – Utah State football held its second practice of fall camp Saturday as the team worked on skill development, fundamentals and special teams, followed by 1-on-1 and 7-on-7 drills, and a live 11-on-11 session to conclude the morning's session.
 
As part of the NCAA's five-day acclimation period, Utah State practiced for the second-straight day in helmets, and will now add shoulder pads to Sunday and Monday's workouts, before doning full pads on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
 
Here are a few observations from Saturday's practice:
  • Junior quarterbacks Andrew Peasley and Logan Bonner are taking all the reps with the first two units and both signal-callers have played well. Peasley was a combined 10-of-16 in live drills, which included a nice deep ball to senior wideout Deven Thompkins. Bonner was 13-of-16 in live drills, including a long completion to junior wide receiver Justin McGriff.
  • McGriff's impressive play from spring camp has continued this fall as he had five receptions during live work.
  • Thompkins, and fellow senior wideout Derek Wright, also shined during the live sessions with three receptions each.
  • Redshirt freshman wide receiver Jaime Nance, a transfer from Nebraska, showed his breakaway speed with a pair of long touchdown receptions during 1-on-1 drills.
  • Junior safety Hunter Reynolds, a graduate transfer from Michigan, intercepted a pass for the second-straight day in fall camp.
  • Three other Aggies had interceptions during live work, including senior safety Shaq Bond, and senior cornerbacks Andre Grayson and Zahodri Jackson.
 All fall camp practices – minus two scrimmages – will be closed to the public. Fans are invited to watch Utah State's first scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 14, at 11 a.m., and its final scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 21, at noon, as part of its annual Family Football Fun Day. Both scrimmages will be held on Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium.
 
Utah State will open the 2021 season on Saturday, Sept. 4, at Washington State, and begins its home season the following weekend against North Dakota on Friday, Sept. 10. Mountain West play begins for USU the following weekend at Air Force on Saturday, Sept. 18.
