SAN DIEGO (9-7-08) It was a complete opposite
from the previous two seasons when the El Capitan Vaqueros
were primarily all about offense. A scoring juggernaut,
if you will.
But the Vaqueros sputtered most of the afternoon in
Saturdays (Sept. 6) season opener at Morse. They,
in fact, netted only 4 yards rushing on 23 carries.
Unlike last year when El Capitan gave up more than
33 points per game during a 5-5 season, it was the defense
that came to the rescue in a 24-0 victory over the Tigers.

ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders receiving corps ended
training camp with a decidedly San Diego flavor, as
former Grossmont College All-America selection TODD
WATKINS and rookie CHAZ SCHILENS of San Diego State
gained the backup spots for head coach Lane Kiffin's
53-man roster.
Both are expected to see action in what would've been
a dull Monday Night Football opener, when the Raiders
(4-12 in 2007) host AFC West Division rival Denver Broncos
(7-9) in the second game of an ESPN doubleheader.

Ryan
O'Sullivan chooses Aztecs over Giants
© East County Sports.com
EL CAJON (9-3-08) When classes began at San Diego
State University on Tuesday (Sept. 2), Aztecs baseball
skipper Tony Gwynn was glad to see freshman RYAN O'SULLIVAN
toting an arm-load of books.
OSullivan, a 10th round draft pick of the San
Francisco Giants last June, turned down the professional
teams offer to accept a baseball scholarship to
SDSU.
We put a number (desired signing bonus) out there
at the beginning of the summer, OSullivan
said. The Giants finally made an offer close to
what we wanted a day or so before the final signing
date. But by then my feelings had changed.
