The Pick
San Diego State averaged 27.4 points per game a season ago and their offense should be in good hands despite the losses of quarterback Lucas Johnson and running back Greg Bell. Braxton Burmeister is a very capable transfer from Virginia Tech and may be an improvement as well. Paired with their stellar defense, the Aztecs should cover in this one.
