Warrior Wednesday: Dr. Christopher Behr

/ Hunter O. Hewitt / 1 Comment

Team Physician/Head Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Christopher Behr

In the violent sport of football, injuries are a common occurrence. Each time a player steps onto the field, he is vulnerable to a variety of injuries.

Sometimes they are nicks and bruises, but other times breaks and tears occur. These breaks and tears require serious medical attention, and players often need surgical procedures to repair their damaged body parts.

That’s when Dr. Christopher Behr takes over.

Behr has worked with San Diego State since 1999 as a team physician and head orthopedic surgeon, and has been instrumental in the recovery process for countless athletes. In addition to football, he works with several other teams in the athletic department.

A graduate of Cornell University in New York, Behr came to San Diego State after a brief stint with the New York Giants. He received his medical degree from the Cornell University Medical College.

Behr is currently a partner in the San Diego Orthopedic Associates Medical Group. He specializes in an assortment of surgical procedures, from labrum tears in the shoulders to broken bones in the feet.

For his help with the rehabilitation of numerous SDSU football players, Dr. Christopher Behr is this week’s Wednesday Warrior.

Aztec Stat of the Week: Quarterback Single-Season Rushing Record

Ryan Katz

In Saturday’s blowout victory over Hawaii, quarterback Ryan Katz showed his dual-threat abilities, creating chaos for the opposing defense both in the air and on his feet.

He finished the game with 190 yards passing, 57 yards on the ground and five total touchdowns. Through six games, he now has a total of 268 net rushing yards.

So who is the all-time leader for net rushing yards in a season by a San Diego State quarterback?

 

Kevin O’Connell 

In 2007, quarterback Kevin O’Connell rushed for 408 net yards, beating his previous record of 402 yards set in 2005. He is currently at the top of the all-time list for net rushing yards in a season by a quarterback.

Can Katz break the record?

Just halfway through the season, Katz has a great chance to cement his name in the SDSU record books. If he can mirror his first-half production on the ground in the second half of the season, he will finish with over 500 yards rushing.

Make sure to keep an eye on Katz the rest of the season to see if he can set a new mark for future running quarterbacks at SDSU.
