Last season, the San Diego State Aztecs topped the Arizona State Sun Devils 30-20 in Tempe. We caught up with Christian Pedersen of our brother site Mountain West Connection to get to know Rocky Long’s team better.
BV: San Diego State has been a very good team at home the last few years, including wins over PAC-12 foes Stanford and Cal. Why do you think teams have so much trouble traveling to the Aztecs?
CP: I think that SDSU is a physical team more than anything else, running the ball on offense and gang tackling on defense.
