LOGAN, Utah – When Utah State hosts Nevada it will be a homecoming game for three Wolfpack players. Nevada’s Gabriel Sewell, Cole Watts, and Hausia Sekona are all from the state of Utah.
Aggies’ head coach Gary Andersen talked about playing against the three Utahns in his weekly press conference on Monday, October 14.
“They’re good players and good guys. Other guys on our staff know them better than I do, but I know of them and have much respect for those guys,” said Andersen. “It’ll give them a little extra juice when they walk in here. We watched those guys as they grew up and developed, and they’re good football players.”
