San Diego State Aztecs O:5 D:8
The athletic director for the San Diego State Aztecs got tired of the futility within the Aztecs football program, and decided to shake things up this past off season. In comes new head coach Chuck Long who masterminded the potent Oklahoma Sooner offenses that went to three National Championship games in four years. He inherits a club that returns 13 starters from a year ago, and it will be his job to help his men rediscover the joy of playing football.
The offenses success will be predicated upon the health of running back Lynell Hamilton since head coach Long intends on implementing a ball control offense that minimizes mistakes. This attack will be a great compliment to his defense that looks to be in great shape heading into the season.

Speaking of the stop unit, it returns eight starters from last year's squad that grossly underachieved a year ago. Defensive Coordinator Bob Elliott was brought in from Kansas State to help it find its identity.
San Diego State has long had the talent to compete for the Mountain West Conference Championship, so hopefully the new regime will get them on their way to living up to expectations.
