After losing three straight games to end the season, San Diego State football was in danger of missing out in a bowl game.
Thankfully for the Aztecs, head coach Rocky Long got the call on Sunday that even he wasn’t sure was going to come.
“The reaction was relief that we were in the game,” Long said.
The call informed him that SDSU had been selected to play as an at-large against Ohio in the Frisco Bowl on Dec. 19 in Frisco, Texas.
The Aztecs’ (7-5, 4-4) loss to Hawaii on Nov. 24 meant a sixth place finish in the Mountain West, and with more bowl eligible teams than spots available, there was a chance they would miss out on going bowling for the first time in nine years.
