Spring Roundup: San Diego State Football

This will be the 3rd year for Chuck Long, and it is now time to see if he can at least get this team to a finish with six wins overall and that would be a huge improvement. The main thing that the Aztecs need to

work on is their defense, because last year they gave up way too many points.  Their offense was decent throughout the year, being able to put up mid 20’s per game but not good enough.

The Aztecs do need to find a  new Quarterback since Kevin O’Connell has moved along and the that spot will be between a few players and the first is Junior College transfer Drew Westling, Sophomore Kelsey Sokoloski, and Senior Darren Mougey are the players who are set to replace O’Connell.

In some other news this spring San Diego State has been reported to have been having too many practices during this spring, and if true this would be their second offense, because this same thing happened last year.  Coach Chuck Long does deny these reports, but looking at the Aztec’s recent lack of success more practices would benefit the team.

SDSU did get a ton of JUCO transfers for immediate help and these seasoned players should help right away and perhaps get the Aztecs to respectability in the league.

April 26 is the annual Red and Black Spring Game at Mission Hills High School.
