SDSU quarterback Chase Mason on playing out his senior season at SDSU: "I'm just super excited to play a season with the guys we have. I love the senior class that we have this year. We've got a great group of guys and obviously **** ody wants to get hurt, but injuries are going to happen. I think my job for this year is getting guys prepared that, maybe last year, there weren't as many guys prepared when injuries happened. ... We know how high our ceiling can be and we have the most talented team that we could ever want and coach (Dan) Jackson has done a great job recruiting. I feel like the job this summer is to kind of raise that floor up. When injuries happen and things happen in the season like they are going to, you can't go around that. It's those guys that need to step up. There's going to be guys on the team that need to step up this year. That's what the summer is for."
