  Rocky Long is retiring as San Diego State's football coach after taking the Aztecs to nine straight bowl games. He will be replaced by Brady Hoke, a former head coach at Ball State, SDSU and Michigan, the school said Wednesday. Hoke will be elevated from defensive line coach. The Aztecs were 10-3 last season, capped by a 48-11 victory over Central Michigan in the New Mexico Bowl. Hoke hired Long as his defensive coordinator at SDSU in 2009. Long became head coach after Hoke took the Michigan job before the 2011 season. Hoke was fired after four seasons at Michigan and returned to the SDSU staff last fall. Long was 81-38 and took the Aztecs to a bowl game in all nine seasons. That extended the school-record streak to 10 after Hoke took them to the Poinsettia Bowl in 2010. SDSU won 10 or more games in four of the last five seasons, and also won three Mountain West Conference championships under Long. Long, who turns 70 on Jan. 27, was 65-69 in 11 seasons as head coach at New Mexico. Hoke was 31-20 at Michigan and 13-12 at SDSU. - AP College Football

  San Diego State's offensive line had its challenges during the 2019 season. It already has another for 2020 - replacing its top starter. Junior center Keith Ismael declared early for the 2020 NFL Draft, announcing his intention Monday in a social media post. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Ismael, who is from Oakland, did not return a phone message for additional comment. He is earning a degree in international security and conflict resolution. Ismael led the Aztecs with 38 starts over the past three seasons, earning first-team all-Mountain West honors the past two years after being a second-team selection as a freshman. - The San Diego Union-Tribune
