1970 Utah State Aggies football team

The 1970 Utah State Aggies football team represented Utah State University in the 1970 NCAA University Division football season as independent. Led by fourth-year head coach Chuck Mills, the team played their home games at Romney Stadium in Logan, Utah. The team completed the season with a 5–5 record, which was shortened by one game from what was originally scheduled; the game against Wichita State on October 3 was canceled after one of their charter aircraft crashed in Colorado en route to Utah the day before, killing many of their starting players and coaching staff.
