Utah State Names Grady Brosterhous Starter Ahead of Texas State Clash

Utah State prepares for Texas State with new quarterback starter

Grady Brosterhous has been named the starting quarterback for Utah State in its upcoming game against Texas State, according to head coach Bronco Mendenhall on Monday. McCae Hillstead remains eligible, but the starting role belongs to Brosterhous for now.

The Aggies enter the contest after a bye week and a recent victory over Washington State. Their opponent, the Texas State Bobcats, lead the FBS with an average of 562.2 total yards per game, including 303.5 rushing yards and 40 points per game.

Texas State’s offensive production is highlighted by a 503‑yard rushing performance in a 66‑27 win over Colorado State, and a first‑half lead of 17‑3 against San Diego State before a second‑half loss of 28‑12. Defensively, the Bobcats have allowed 27 points to Colorado State and rank 137th in the FBS, giving up 297.3 passing yards per game.

Both teams face a pivotal matchup that could influence their positioning in conference play, with Utah State looking to capitalize on its recent momentum and Texas State aiming to maintain its high‑powered offense.
