Lifetime San Diego State football fan and San Diego native Gregg Anderson stood on the field next to his son, still in shock after watching the Aztecs defeat No. 19 Stanford, 20-17.
“I haven’t seen anything like this in San Diego State’s history,” Anderson said. “My son, this is his first game, and he got to see this. Unbelievable.”
Anderson was one of many SDSU fans who rushed the field after the two-time defending Mountain West Conference champions defeated the Cardinal.
The defining moment of the game came when redshirt junior quarterback Christian Chapman found tight end David Wells for an 8-yard touchdown to close out a drive that started at the SDSU 28-yard line and included two long passes to senior wide receiver Mikah Holder, six runs by senior running back Rashaad Penny and a 22-minute power outage.
