Turner, a senior speedster,
Is averaging 6.5 yards per carry
this season after running for 299

155-yard performance in San Diego's 19-0 win over Utah State

"This year tbey are much
more explosive," said Sweeney
about the Aztecs, who hold a
20-15-4 series advantage. "Tbey
are running the ball and passing
lt In near equal proportions, and
that is/the hardest team to defend against."
"They had almost abandoned
the pass last year trying to
establish Turner as a runner,"
noted Sweeney.
"I would compare Turner with
the best runners I have coached
against,", said Sweeney, who
compares Turner with the great
USC backs. "When he gets you

pass he has excellent moves."
