Stops at Oregon, Virginia Tech part of long, challenging road back to San Diego
Unwritten rules for a college football quarterback begin with side-stepping as much contact as possible. Bee-lining linebacker? Hit the grass. Untouched, blitzing safety? Race to the sideline.Staying upright with limbs attached and bones in factory showroom condition keeps offensive triggermen on the field. So, why does San Diego State transfer Braxton Burmeister continually run toward trouble?
Burmeister started in his first game at Oregon as a true freshman after current NFL QB Justin Herbert of the Chargers and a backup were injured. In the first half of his first start, he was injured, too. “That was tough, especially being an 18-year-old, a true freshman starting in the Pac-12,” he said. “It became a big learning experience for me to block out the noise and not worry about any of that extra stuff. People didn’t know, but I understood that we didn’t want opposing defenses to know about it.A major reason Burmeister continued to play, in addition to the injuries in front of him, was because of his elite speed. His legs gave the Ducks the best chance to win, even with a bum wing.
“When he decides to go, he can go from zero to 60 in a split second. There’s no build up to that speed, so they break angles .” Though players are not timed in the same way at San Diego State, Hecklinski and others think Burmeister is in the conversation for the fastest Aztec, along with running back Jordan Byrd, USC transfer Kenan Christon and perhaps a few others.
Coach Tyler Hales said Burmeister missed three plays, other than being pulled in blowouts, in his four seasons that covered 50-plus games. He missed one practice because trainers made him sit.
