Over the last decade or so, San Diego State carved out a name for themselves for their rushing attack and churning out quality running backs.
With the appointment of Sean Lewis as the new head coach of the Aztecs, that's likely about to change as he brings an uptempo approach that airs the ball out a lot more than Aztec fans will be used to.
Lewis did a masterful job in his one season at Colorado, leaving behind the head coaching job at Kent State to learn under Deion Sanders for a season, seemingly making a bet on himself that it would lead to a new opportunity.
After helping to improve the Buffs offensive approach from one of the worst in the country to must-watch-TV on Saturday's, that new opportunity presented itself in the fertile recruiting grounds of California at San Diego State.
In a move that is still puzzling to many, after fielding a top 40 scoring offense through the first part of the season, Deion Sanders opted to change offensive play callers at Colorado, handing the reigns to former NFL coach Pat Shurmur while Lewis focused on the quarterbacks.
The move was made after Colorado dropped to 4-4 and were struggling to run the ball effectively and protect quarterback Shedeur Sanders, an issue Prime has vowed to correct through the transfer portal and recruiting.
In those eight games, Lewis led an offense that eclipsed the 40-point mark four times and was averaging 31 points per game.
Now he gets a fresh slate, and the chance to put his mark on a second program as head coach.
He previously went 24-31 in five seasons leading the Golden Flashes, with a 1st place in the MAC East finish in 2021.
