  San Diego State kicker Jack Browning is well positioned this year to set a school record for field goals in a season. Browning is 12-for-13 on field goal attempts through seven games, 10 away from SDSU's single-season record with as many as seven games remaining. That's good, and it's bad. "You're sitting there kicking field goals, and you're going, "Great job, Jack," SDSU head coach Brady Hoke said. "But let's get it in the end zone." Touchdowns, not field goals. That's the objective.

The Aztecs have struggled mightily getting the ball into the end zone. SDSU has just 10 offensive touchdowns this season, and four of them came in a 38-7 win over FCS opponent Idaho State. That means the Aztecs have averaged but one offensive touchdown a game against six FBS opponents this season. They are averaging 19.14 points a game, which is tied for 115th in the nation (out of 131 teams). - San Diego Union Tribune

  San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke confirmed Monday that senior wide receiver TJ Sullivan has a torn right ACL and will be out for the season. Sullivan, a Mt. Carmel High graduate, injured his knee last week during practice. He watched Saturday's scrimmage from the sideline, wearing a brace from thigh to calf. An MRI revealed the torn ligament. Sullivan is expected to have surgery once swelling subsides. The recovery time for such an injury is typically up to a year. Sullivan totaled only 11 receptions for 111 yards and one touchdown during his first three seasons at SDSU, but this year was poised for a breakthrough. The departure of five of last season's top eight receivers created an opportunity for an expanded role and Sullivan earned a starting spot coming out of spring practice. - San Diego Union Tribune
