Film Study: Utah State’s defense shines against San Diego State

The Utah State Aggies begin their conference slate 1-0 with a 23-17 win on the road over the San Diego State Aztecs on Saturday night.

In this Mountain West Connection Film Study, we break down some of the key factors that helped Utah State pull it off.

The first thing you have to mention was how well the Aggie defense played against the Aztec rushing game. San Diego State came into the night rushing for 163 yards per game, but was held to only 91 yards on 46 carries — that’s a lowly 2 yards per carry.
