Following an ACL tear against Nevada, it is a long-shot that Cincinnati sees Maxwell Smith on Christmas Eve, but the quarterback is doing everything he can to get on the field. If he does play, he is one to watch.
The quarterback usually has the most impact on the football field, and for San Diego State, they have a very good one in Maxwell Smith. Smith has only thrown two interceptions on the year, along with 13 touchdowns and a 138.7 quarterback rating. Although backup Christian Chapman has played for several games due to injuries, Smith has still put together an impressive season.
