Utah State's football team has been depleted quite a bit
Quote from Bronco7454 on June 13, 2023, 10:34 amI just finished reviewing the Utah State starters from last season (2022) and found that on offense and defense they had a total of 39 players who were starters last season. Of those 39 players from the 2022 team only 15 are on the 2023 roster (right now).
Among the lost starters from 2022 are four of their five starters on the O-line, their starting RB and two of their three best wide receivers. On defense they lost one of two starting cornerbacks, both defensive ends, two of three starting linebackers, the two safeties who started the most games last season and two Defensive tackles who started 7 games combined.
If that isn't having your starters depleted from one year to the next then I don't know what would.
