A torn ACL typically means that the season is done, however San Diego State quarterback Maxwell Smith will attempt to comeback and play in the Aztecs bowl game. Smith tore his ACL in the season finale against Nevada and is out for the Mountain West title game, but he wants to put off surgery for one more game in the red and black.
"He says he's going to try to play in the bowl game," San Diego State head coach Rocky Long said. "He's going to try to rehab and put it in a brace and see if he can play with the brace and then he's going to get operated on after the bowl game.
