There will be more on the line than simply a win on Saturday when the San Diego State Aztecs (3-3, 2-0 Mountain West) and the San Jose State Spartans (3-3, 2-1 MW) clash in Northern California.
A win for either team will guarantee at least a one-game lead in the MW’s West division and put it in control of its own destiny.
But this win will mean a little extra for the Aztecs, as it will mark the best start to conference play under head coach Rocky Long and their first back-to-back wins since, ironically, beating the Spartans and the University of Hawaii in consecutive weeks in 2013.
