Dating back to 1919, Wells is just the second Utah State graduate to be appointed its head football coach joining Chris Pella who graduated from USU in 1965 and coached the Aggies from Wells, a former Aggie quarterback and three-year letterwinner from , was a member of two conference championship teams as a student-athlete as he was a redshirt freshman in 1993 when Utah State tied for first in the Big West Conference and defeated Ball State, 42-33, in the Las Vegas Bowl for its first-ever bowl win. As a senior in 1996, Wells helped USU to another share of the Big West Conference title. Wells has spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach at Utah State, including serving as the team s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2012 campaign. In 2011, Wells coached USU s quarterbacks and was the team s recruiting coordinator. Utah State concluded its most successful season in school history in 2012 as it went 11-2 and set school records for wins (11) and home wins (6), while being nationally ranked in the Associated Press poll for threestraight weeks for the first time in school history.

All-time, Utah State has won or shared 11 league championships. During his two years at Utah State, Wells has been part of a Utah State team that went to back-to-back bowl games for just the third time in school history, while posting an 18-8 record. Furthermore, USU s win against Toledo in the 2012 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl was the school s secondever bowl victory. As offensive coordinator this past season, Wells directed an Aggie offense that set single-season school records for total points (454), total offense (6,108 yards), completions (285) and total yards per game (469.8), while ranking second in points per game (34.9) and total passing yards (3,445).

In 2012, Wells coached current Aggie junior quarterback Chuckie Keeton who earned first-team all-wac honors after setting single-season school records for touchdown passes (27), passing yards (3,373), completion percentage (.676), completions (275) and total offense (3,992 yards).

We return a lot of players on both sides of the ball and it is going to be fun to watch how this team progresses under his leadership. Steve Kragthorpe, LSU Quarterbacks Coach - Former Tulsa and Louisville Head Football Coach: This is a home run hire for Utah State. Matt was an integral part of our turnaround at the University of Tulsa, and did a tremendous job for me not only there, but at the University of Louisville as well. Utah State is not only hiring a great coach, but a great man and a true Aggie. He will do a tremendous job as the head football coach at Utah State and will continue the great tradition of football in Cache Valley. Ken Niumatalolo, Navy Head Football Coach: Utah State could not have hired a more qualified head coach to lead their program than Matt Wells. Matt is an Aggie to the core.

DeMartino also caught two passes for nine yards against the Rams. LOGAN, Utah - Senior running back Joey DeMartino had a career-high 35 carries for 127 yards and Utah State s defense limited Colorado State (6-6, 4-3 MW) to just 38 yards rushing for its first shutout since 2003 with a 13-0 home win on Saturday, Nov. 23, With the win, Utah State (7-4, 6-1 MW) assured itself of three-straight winning seasons for the first time since Colorado State entered the game averaging rushing yards per game, but was held to just 38 yards on the ground on 34 attempts for an average of 1.1 yards per carry. CSU also had 147 passing yards on the day and finished the game with just 185 yards of total offense. The Utah State defense limited Colorado State running back Kapri Bibbs to 54 yards on 18 carries. Bibbs entered the game ranking first in the Mountain West and eighth in the nation with an average of yards per game, while leading the nation with 25 rushing touchdowns. In his previous two games, Bibbs had scored 10 touchdowns on the ground and rushed for 603 yards. Utah State finished the game with a season-low 191 yards of total offense as it had 148 rushing yards and a season-low 43 passing yards, which are its fewest since DeMartino, who scored the game s only touchdown on a 1-yard run in the third quarter, recorded his third 100-yard rushing game in his last four outings and his fifth of the season and his career. He also went over 1,000 yards for his career, becoming just the 26th player in school history to accomplish that feat. Furthermore, DeMartino s 35 carries were the most by an Aggie since 2001 when Emmett White had 38 carries against Weber State. Senior linebacker Jake Doughty posted a team-high 12 tackles for his seventh doubledigit tackle outing of the season and 11th of his career to lead a Utah State defense that posted four sacks and two interceptions on the afternoon as senior safety Maurice Alexander, senior cornerback Tay Glover-Wright and sophomore nose guard Travis Seefeldt each had 1.0 sacks, while junior linebacker Zach Vigil and freshman defensive tackle Ricky Ali ifua each had 0.5 sacks. Zach Vigil and redshirt freshman linebacker Nick Vigil each recorded their first career interceptions in the contest. Utah State also performed well on special teams as junior punter Jaron Bentrude boomed a career-high eight punts inside the 20 as part of his nine punts on the day as Colorado State s average starting field position was its own 16 yard-line, while Utah State s average starting field position was its own 49. USU was also 2-of-3 on field goals during the game. After a defensive battle kept the game scoreless for the first 29:34 seconds, Utah State broke through with a 24-yard field goal by junior placekicker Nick Diaz with 26 seconds left for a 3-0 Aggie lead that they took into halftime. Utah State then took the second half kickoff and marched down the field, with DeMartino scoring from a yard out for a 10-0 Aggie advantage with 10:21 to go in the third quarter. During its only touchdown drive of the day, USU went 69 yards in 11 plays and used 4:34 off the clock. Early in the fourth quarter, Nick Vigil intercepted a Garrett Grayson pass, setting Utah State up at the CSU 29. Four plays later, Diaz drilled a 44-yard field goal for a 13-0 USU lead with 9:59 left in the game. The Aggies defense kept the shutout in tact by registering all four of its sacks in the final period to seal the win. Junior linebacker Zach Vigil (53) had nine tackles, including 1.5 for loss, to go along with his first career interception against the Rams. November 25,

Natson also had three receptions for 40 yards and two punt returns for 12 yards against the Rebels. LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Sophomore wide receiver Bruce Natson had two rushing touchdowns, including the game-winner with 3:56 to play, and Utah State s defense held UNLV out of the end zone with four-straight incomplete passes from the USU 16-yardline in the final minute to cap a hard-fought road win on Nov. 9, With the win, Utah State improves to 6-4 on the season including a 5-1 mark in the Mountain West, to become bowl eligible for the third-straight year as the Aggies have never played in three-straight bowl games. UNLV falls to 5-5 overall and 3-3 in league play with the loss. Natson finished the game with a career-high eight rushes for a career-best 61 yards, including two touchdown runs, to go along with three receptions for 40 yards.
