San Diego State Avoids Upset, Outlasts UNLV 28-20

The Aztecs got away with a dramatic 28-20 win in Las Vegas Friday night as QB Lucas Johnson threw for 192 yards and three touchdowns, keeping the Mountain West Championship hopes alive.

SDSU’s 11 point lead at halftime was just enough to keep the Rebels out of reach as the Aztecs improve to 10-1, 6-1 Conf., their best start to a season since 1977.

According to the College Football AP Poll, the Aztecs have now reached No. 22 in the nation which is the sixth time they have been ranked this season, the most in program history.
