There was nowhere to go but up for the Aztec passing attack.
After a week five 35-13 blowout loss to the Boise State Broncos, San Diego State’s passing offense ranked 131st in FBS college football. The ranking placed them dead last in the nation and after a game in which the Aztecs had only two pass completions, head coach Brady Hoke announced offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jeff Hecklinski was relieved of his duties. Assistant coach Jeff Horton was promoted to offensive coordinator and former Aztec quarterback Ryan Lindley was hired as the quarterback’s coach.
The promotion marks the second time Horton has served as the offensive coordinator as he had control of the offense from 2015-19.
