The San Diego State Aztecs (9-1-0, 5-1-0 Mountain West Conference) overcame adversity, coming back to defeat the Nevada Wolf Pack (7-3-0, 4-2-0 MWC) 23-21 Saturday night.
The game started with an SDSU three-and-out. The Wolf Pack went nine plays for 34 yards but were kept out of the end zone on the ensuing drive.
SDSU’s second possession started on their one-yard line.
The Aztecs were in the midst of an 11 play drive, which included a 50-yard run from senior running back Greg Bell, and found themselves in a 3rd and goal situation. Senior quarterback Lucas Johnson’s pass to senior wide receiver Elijah Kothe was just out of reach and the team settled for a field goal attempt.
