LAS VEGAS — UNLV’s mascot is dubbed the Runnin’ Rebels, but it’s been SDSU that has stormed into opposing Mountain West cities like a bandit this season, blowing out opponents on their home turf.
The Runnin’ Rebels were held to a mere jog Saturday night in Las Vegas as the Aztecs cruised to a 52-14 victory, just a few hours after learning they had won the West division of the MW.
SDSU (8-3, 7-0 MW) will play Air Force Academy on Dec. 5 for the Mountain West Championship. The site of the game will be determined by a composite ranking system if neither team cracks the College Football Playoff Top 25.
