Aztecs Lose Two Starters College Football Betting

College football betting on San Diego State took a hit recently as the Aztecs lost two starters in their secondary. College football betting information tells us that senior cornerback Davion Mauldin and junior safety Romeo Horn suffered injuries and needed surgery. College football betting online tells us that Mauldin required knee surgery while Horn required foot surgery. College football betting tells us that Junior Jose Perez will step in for Mauldin while senior Aaron Moore will take Horn’s spot. “Jose is coming back from a shoulder injury in the spring and had surgery,” head coach Brady Hoke said. “He hasn’t had any contact, but he’s doing everything else and doing well.” San Diego State was terrible last season on defense as college football betting online stats indicated. They were 113th in total defense, giving up 460.7 yards per game as college football betting showed. They were also terrible against the pass, ranking 112th in the nation as college football betting stats tell us.

San Diego State opens up the season against UCLA and is nearly a three-touchdown underdog in college football betting at the online sportsbook. It will be interesting to see if the Aztecs are improved this season in college football betting online action under new head coach Brady Hoke and new defensive coordinator Rocky Long. “It’s an attacking style of defense that I think the kids will love to play,” Hoke said, “It’s playing with reckless abandon and with sound principles.” The Aztecs can’t be any worse than they were last year in college football betting. College football betting online tells us that the Aztecs have some decent linebackers who should get a lot of action. Luke Laolagi, Jerry Milling, Logan Ketchum and Miles Burris return as college football betting information indicates “He’s a different kind of coach, but he’s a fiery guy and he likes to get after it,” Laolagi said about Long, “That’s fun to see for us, for us to get fired up.” Long did a nice job with New Mexico’s defense as they ranked in the top 30 in fewest yards allowed six times and among the top 40 against the run every season as college football betting stats indicate. The run defense was in the Top 5 in the country twice as college football betting stats tell us.

San Diego State is going to be underdogs a lot in college football betting online at the sports book this season. Their defense does bear watching though as they may make some big plays to steal a few games versus the college football betting line this season.
