Meet the Opponent
San Diego State, from the Mountain West Conference, enters the game sporting an impressive 10-3 record with nine-straight wins to close out the season, including a 27-24 win over Air Force in the Mountain West Conference Championship. The Aztecs dropped three games in weeks two, three and four, to the likes of California, South Alabama and Penn State.
The losses to Cal and Penn State weren't particularly unexpected in the early parts of the season, but the 34-27 overtime loss to South Alabama pushed the Aztecs comfortably beyond the national media's sight.
