323 yards in the air cures a lot of concern. Ryan Agnew had his best day ever as a college quarterback. Only one interception from 47 attempts. Not bad. Jesse Matthews, who looks to be the age of sixteen, had his breakout game with 8 catches for 119 yards. Elijah Kothe impressed with 3 catches for 45 including serious yards after he caught the ball.
84 offensive plays kept the Bulldog defense on the field far too long. 36:05 of ball possession registered 425 yards of total offense. Converting 9 of 17 third downs was a pretty sight. Sure, the Aztec run game continues to look weak (102 total yards and 2.8 yards per carry is unimpressive). However, Chance Bell strikes me as the most likely candidate to run the football north and south for the remainder of the season. Mr. Bell has a fire to him that his fellow running backs lack.
Once again, the SDSU defense was incredible. Holding a team that averages 34 points to 7 points accompanied with only 206 yards of total offense is bright, beautiful and bold. The Bulldog offense converted only 3 third downs. 3 interceptions was icing on the tackling cake. The Aztec defensive backs were knocking away Fresno State passes the entire night. Pesky football. Stay on the ground. Praise Rocky and the Aztec defensive coaching staff.
8-2/5-2.
Go, Aztecs.
