San Diego State vs. Northern Illinois: Aztecs take to the road to face a backup QB

The Aztecs take their 12-game winning streak on the road to Dekalb to face the Huskies.

San Diego State hits the road for the first time this season to play Northern Illinois. The Aztecs are 2-0. After shutting down New Hampshire, 31-0, in Week 1, the Aztecs battled at home last week for a hard-earned 45-40 victory against Davis Webb and the Golden Bears who flat-out refused to lose.

Northern Illinois is the antithesis of SDSU's start to the 2016 season. The Huskies were on the road for two weeks first playing Wyoming, where the Cowboys surprised them with a 40-34 loss, and from there Northern Illinois traveled to Tampa to take on the South Florida Bulls, where USF easily handled them with a 48-17 victory.
