This is a must-win game for both teams to stay in contention for a bowl. The has slipped away from San Diego State, but they still have a chance to finish over .500 before the end of the regular. For that to happen, San Diego State will have to win out and beat Utah State in Week 10.
Prior to the bye in Week 9, San Diego State suffered an ugly 6-0 loss at the hands of Nevada on Oct. 21. The Aztecs produced 204 total yards of offense. Jalen Mayden passed for 47 yards and the rushing attack accounted for 157 rushing yards. San Diego State’s defense held Nevada quarterback Brendon Lewis to 98 passing yards. The Aztecs had three sacks on Lewis.
How Will San Diego State Get The Win?
San Diego State’s offense will need to take a massive step forward to get the win over Utah State. Mayden needs to find a way to get the ball down the field and complete passes. He was one-dimensional and unable to make a great impact on the run game. Even if he is struggling throwing the ball against Utah State’s defense, he will need to complete more than six passes for under 50 yards.
If Mayden struggles, it could be a tough night for San Diego State. If he can manage the game, San Diego State has an opportunity to score points and get a home. This game will be dependent on San Diego State’s offensive improvements during the bye week.
Prediction
San Diego State 21, Utah State 20
San Diego State’s defense will make plays and force turnovers. This will be just enough for the Aztecs to sneak past the Aggies with a one-point win.
