Senior Luq Barcoo and sophomore Darren Hall are expected to be San Diego State football’s starters at cornerback in the season opener against Weber State on Aug. 31.
However, question marks linger around safety in regards to who is going to start and in what position.
In head coach Rocky Long’s 3-3-5 defense, there are three safeties instead of the usual two in most defensive schemes. They are called boundary warrior, Aztec and field warrior.
The boundary warrior is the safety that plays on the side closest to the out of bounds line. The Aztec is positioned in the middle.
