Aztecs Take First Place, Re-Enter AP Poll With Win Vs Nevada

Aztec runningback Greg Bell rushed for over 100 yards, kicker Matt Araiza hit 3 field goals including a game winner as San Diego State outlasts Nevada, 23-21 on Saturday.

The Aztecs, now taking sole possession of first place in the West Division, have a good chance at a Mountain West title. They have also re-entered the AP College Football Poll at No. 23.

While just a half game ahead of Fresno State, who gave SDSU their only loss of the season, the Aztecs will need wins in their last couple weeks, facing UNLV and Boise State.
