Why San Diego State can cover

The Aztecs ended the 2021 season ranked 25th in the nation, marking just the third time in program history it has finished in the top 25. San Diego State has had considerable success in season openers, going 53-41-5 all-time and 45-16-4 at home. The Aztecs enter 2022 with a seven-game winning streak in season-opening contests in their own building.

San Diego State begins the campaign with a new quarterback in Braxton Burmeister, who won the starting job after transferring from Virginia Tech. Burmeister spent two seasons at the University of Oregon before joining the Hokies, for whom he recorded 2,647 passing yards with 16 touchdown tosses and five interceptions in 18 games over two years. A native of La Jolla, Calif, he was dangerous with his legs as well in 2021 as he rushed for 521 yards and a pair of scores.

Why Arizona can cover

The Wildcats have lost 23 or their last 24 games dating back to the 2019 campaign but hope new quarterback Jayden de Laura can help reverse their fortunes. The Hawaiian is coming off a season in which he was named the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman Player of the Year after throwing for 2,798 yards and 23 touchdowns at Washington State. He also was tied for second on the Cougars with three rushing scores - one more than the Wildcats received from their signal-callers last year.

Arizona is hoping de Laura will form strong connections with its receivers, including UTEP transfer Jacob Cowing. The junior had an impressive season with the Miners last season as he made 69 catches for 1,354 yards, which ranked him ninth among all Division I players, and seven TDs. Cowing hauled in 141 passes for 2,595 yards and 13 scores in 32 games with UTEP over three campaigns.
