Aztecs start strong then vaporize in 35-13 loss to Boise State

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” This intro line by Charles Dickens in his ‘Tale of Two Cities’, is an appropriate description of the two halves of football played by San Diego State on Friday night in Boise Idaho. The defense was a shining light, a beacon of hope, making plays and believers, while holding a Bronco offense, with questions of their own, scoreless in the first half for the first time in ten years.
