SDSU Has an Off Day at Football Practice

Despite some bright individual performances Friday, San Diego State football Coach Al Luginbill was not pleased with his club’s second scrimmage of the spring. Neither was Barry Lamb, defensive coordinator

“That was a rag-tag outfit today,” said Luginbill. “I don’t know what the problem is, but we’ll get it corrected. We won’t play like that again. Football teams can’t be like yo-yos. We have to play with intensity on every play.”

Said Lamb: “It was disappointing because we came out and played hard and played well in the first few series. Things were going real well, and then they stopped going well. We never recaptured our intensity level.”

Brad Platt passed for 292 yards, completing 20 of 28 passes, and Dan McGwire 283 yards (21 for 32). Tony Nettles caught 10 passes for 148 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown, and Patrick Rowe seven for 164 yards and a 40-yard score.

Defensive back John Wesselman had two interceptions, returning the first one 50 yards. And defensive linemen Bob Graff and Pio Sagapolutele each had two sacks.
