San Diego State enters Mountain West matchup against Aggies at Snapdragon Stadium following only the Aztecs' second shutout in past 213 games
Aztecs players and coaches have had to wait not one but two weeks to put some distance on a shutout loss to Nevada. The XXXXX loss was just the second shutout in 213 games since the 2006 season. Following a bye,
offense that failed to produce a point the last time the Aztecs took the field. The 6-0 home loss to Nevada, which had been allowing nearly 40 points a game, was called “embarrassing” this week by coach Brady Hoke said. “They’re both, within the offense, they do a good job. They both can run, yes. Are they runners? Not as much, though they’ll find some places and get up in the pocket, and they scramble. “We always go through how many scrambles a guy has when we look at tape. I don’t know that number, but it’s not like some other guys have had.” Turnovers often tell the story, and both defenses have had their moments getting takeaways.
defensive backs face their biggest challenge of the season against Utah State’s receiving corps. Junior Jalen Royals and senior Terrell Vaughn make the Aggies one of only two teams in the nation — LSU is the other — with two receivers who have at least eight TD catches. Royals’ is one score off the national lead. Junior wide receiver Micah Davis also is a threat for Utah State. Both teams are desperate for a victory to keep their bowl hopes alive.
