Criticism of San Diego State football’s feeble offense is becoming a sad cliche.
It’s a narrative that has been written time and again, and frankly, is getting too predictable.
In a game that SDSU shouldn’t have lost, played in a stadium that was much less full than it should’ve been, the story was not just how sluggish and inconsistent the offense played.
A silver lining in the Aztecs’ 34-27 home overtime defeat against University of South Alabama was the special teams unit, aptly named based on its performance against the Jaguars.
The unit did what the offense has been unable to in three games in which the Aztecs have floundered through: make big plays.
