Coming out of the bye week, the San Diego State Aztecs (4-0, 0-0 Mountain West Conference) look to remain undefeated as they welcome the University of New Mexico Lobos (2-3, 0-1 MWC) in their conference opener on Saturday, Oct. 9.
The Aztecs started their season 4-0 for only the second time in 40 years, but getting to 5-0 isn’t the only streak they are looking to extend. SDSU has emerged victorious in its last seven meetings with UNM dating back to 2009.
The Aztecs will welcome back a familiar face in Rocky Long — former SDSU head coach and current Lobos defensive coordinator — who, in his second year, has helped UNM transform their conference worst-ranked defense in 2019 to sixth in the Mountain West this year.
