Adam Dingwell

Dingwell took over late in the 2012 season and played well enough to lead San Diego State to its first MWC championship. His statistics – 83-of-144 for 939 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions – weren’t particularly impressive, but Dingwell seems to have a pretty solid hold on the job heading into 2013. The Aztecs have traditionally deployed a balanced attack, but shifted towards a run-oriented approach in 2012, following Ryan Lindley’s departure. New offensive coordinator Bob Toledo will probably want to restore some balance, and the Aztecs should top last season’s uninspiring total of 2,287 team passing yards.
