San Diego State Overall (3-3) Conf (2-0)
The three players to look out for would be QB Maxwell Smith, RB Donnel Pumphrey and WR Mikah Holder. Smith, the Kentucky transfer, has completed 57 of 123 passes for 823 yards and six touchdowns. Pumphrey has had 139 carries for 620 yards and seven touchdowns. So far this season Holder has 12 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns. San Diego State’s offensive line will play a major role in how this game is played. They have been playing a lot better of late since the conference season started. The San Diego State defense is going to tell us who wins this game. The Aztec defense has forced 11 turnovers (8 Interceptions and 3 Fumbles) in the first six games of the season. They will be going up against the best offensive unit in the Mountain West Western Division. The Aztec defense will need to hold out strong if they want to win this game. The defense that comes away with the most take aways will win the game.
- Special teams will play a huge role in this game. The edge this week will defiantly go to San Diego State. Here is Rashaad Penny going 97 yards to the house in the first week of the season against University of San Diego. This is one of two kick return touchdowns for Rashaad Penny. Penny is tied with Aztec Alum Colin Lockett for most kick return touchdowns in a single season. Penny has 11 kick returns for an average 37.5 yards per return and a total of 413 yards.
Also, the Aztecs have a weapon in field goal kicker Donny Hageman who nailed a 54 yard field goal against the University of Southern Alabama.

San Jose State (3-3) and Conf (2-1)
The three players to look out for would be QB Joe Gray, RB Tyler Ervin and WR Tyler Winston. Gray has completed 72 of 104 passes for 837 yards and six touchdowns. Ervin has had 140 carries for 885 yards and 11 touchdowns. Winston has 29 receptions for 320 yards and two touchdowns. Taking a look at the national rankings listed at the top of the article San Jose State is a good team. San Jose State is going to need to shut down the Aztecs running game if they wish to win this game. They will want to force San Diego State to throw the football. Offensively San Jose State will want to keep the ball away from the SDSU Defensive backs. The SDSU Secondary is the best in the Mountain West Conference according to preseason rankings.The smart play would be to throw underneath the secondary for 5- to 7- yard gains or throw deep. If I am San Jose State I am going to challenge the safeties and secondary to stop us.
