On two of the first five carries of his college career, Walter Kazee fumbled the ball away. Guess where he spent the next 2 1/2 games?
Brady Hoke, coach of the San Diego State Aztecs, doesn’t tolerate mistakes. But that doesn’t mean he also doesn’t recognize talent. So after keeping the 18-year-old freshman from San Bernardino by his side for all but four carries the past two weeks at Idaho and Air Force, Hoke returned the youngster to the field Saturday night against New Mexico State.
Perhaps, the Aztecs have finally found themselves a running back. Kazee carried 22 times for 101 yards and scored his first college touchdown as SDSU bounced the Aggies, 34-17, to improve their record to 2-3.
On a night when quarterback Ryan Lindley was misfiring to the tune of just 7-for-27 passing, it was Kazee who carried the night, carrying the Aztecs offense to 17 points over the final eight minutes to win the game.
