Kevin Craft Leaves San Diego State

San Diego State backup quarterback Kevin Craft is leaving the program to play at Mt. San Antonio Junior College. Craft's impressively mustachioe'd father Tom (at right) coached the Aztecs but was fired before the 2006 season. Craft landed at Mt. Sac, and now a year later his son is tagging along.

This marks the second transfer by a Mountain West Conference backup quarterback in less than a week. BYU lost second-stringer Cade Cooper after he suffered a severe foot injury that would have forced him to sit out at least a year.

Craft would have likely been the Aztecs' de facto backup behind Kevin O'Connell. Darren Moughey was another backup option although SDSU has been trying him at receiver. Craft actually started five games last year due to injuries, throwing for 737 yards (57% completions) with four touchdowns and six interceptions.
