In a season where every game was ‘the most important game of the season’, the San Diego State University football team answered the call week after week. When their spot in the Mountain West Conference Championship was on the line, the result was no different.
The Aztecs (11-1, 7-1 MWC) woke up bright and early on Nov. 25 for their 9 a.m. primetime matchup against the Boise State Broncos (7-5, 5-3 MWC). After being down 16-3 midway through the second quarter, the Scarlet and Black flipped the script and prevailed, winning the game 27-16 and punching their ticket to the MWC Championship game.
