Win 20.
This has been the motto from the start of the season for San Diego State football.
But after the loss of graduate-transfer quarterback Max Smith in last week’s victory over the University of Nevada, even with a perfect Mountain West Conference record and home field in the championship game, the Aztecs’ future did not look bright.
But their hopes were resurrected by redshirt-freshman quarterback Christian Chapman, who produced a somewhat revelatory performance in his first career start to lead SDSU to a 27-24 win in its first MW championship game appearance, when his team needed it most.
