San Diego State vs Nevada Game Preview
Why Nevada Will Win
Can the passing game do enough to get San Diego State out of its warm, cozy comfort zone?
This isn’t an Aztec team that can bomb away or get into any semblance of a shootout, but it’s got a killer defense that suffocates just about every style and every team except … Fresno State.
Utah wasn’t the Utah it is now when the Aztecs got the shocking win back in mid-September, and that’s been it when it comes to teams that can throw. Fresno State has the only offense with a high-powered passing game, and Jake Haener and company pulled off the 30-20 win with 247 passing yards.

In general, Nevada is too good against the run to get hammered on by the San Diego State attack.
Yeah, the Aztecs were great on the ground with five straight 200 rushing yards to start the season, but they haven’t come up with more than 165 yards in the last four games.
Nevada will get its passing game going just enough to make San Diego State start throwing a bit. That’s not going to be a plus.
