The 1-2 record for San Diego State football is deceiving. After Saturday’s loss against University of South Alabama, SDSU has yet to win a game that counts for bowl eligibility.
The Aztecs’ opening win against University of San Diego doesn’t count because USD doesn’t award football scholarships.
So that leaves SDSU in a rather precarious position. Next week is a trip to Beaver Stadium–or Happy Valley, depending on how one wants to call it–to face Penn State, a Power Five team with an unconvincing 2-1 record, but with an average home attendance of 98,194 and a good defense.
