Former Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras has been named the starter at Utah State. Petras was a three year starter for the Hawkeyes but spent last season as a student coach after suffering a shoulder injury in the 2022 regular season finale against Nebraska. He beat out Cooper Legas during spring drills.
That’s Aggies coach Blake Anderson who felt he needed to name a starter at the end of spring drills.
Utah State finished 6-7 last season, including a 24-14 loss at Iowa in the season opener.
