The University of Arizona Wildcats (1-0) downed the San Diego State Aztecs (0-1) 38-20 in the inaugural home opener at Snapdragon Stadium in front of a 34,046 sell out crowd.
All eyes were on Virginia Tech senior transfer quarterback Braxton Burmeister to give the Aztecs fans some new life in San Diego, but he only completed five passes for 51 yards and one touchdown to go along with 20 yards on the ground.
Burmeister was pressured throughout the game, causing him to either make a bad pass or scramble.
Head Coach Brady Hoke said it was unfortunate Burmeister’s performance did not live up to expectations, with the transfer having to leave the game in the third quarter with a tweaked shoulder.
