NCAA SEASON LEADERS FBS

Team	Total Offensive	Pass YPG	Rush YPG	Pass Def	Run Def
SDSU	49th	96th	18th	106th	27th
CSU	106th	64th	114th	96th	108th

Looking back in the past weeks SDSU played a Washington team who likes to play the spread followed by Army who likes to play the triple option. The Aztec defense is lockdown on the running game and does need work with passing. The Aztecs offensive is unstoppable with the double tangent of Walter Kazee and Adam Muema. The two backs are averaging over five yards per carry on the season. Behind a great passing attack lead by Oregon State transfer Ryan Katz and should be All-American tight end Gavin Escobar.
