San Diego State College Aztecs Football 1965

This film from late summer 1965 captures the action on the gridiron at San Diego State as the Aztecs prepared for the football season. Coach Don Coryell later lead the San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Cardinals after 12 seasons with SDSU. The original script from September 1965 appears below and was tracked for this clip by News 8 sports anchor John Howard in September 2020: "The competition is wide open out on Montezuma Mesa these days. Preseason drills continue at San Diego State College with some 50 aspiring Aztecs working out under the watchful eyes of coach Don Coryell. Quarterback Don Horn handed off to tailback Nathan Johns in this play. Coryell says his defensive line is fairly well intact but the offense needs re-molding. The Aztecs lost 17 letter men last June, many of them offense stars. Horn completes to flanker Craig Scoggins here as scrimmagers compete for varsity positions for the season opener against The University of the Pacific September 18th in Aztec Bowl." https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/loc...
