Monday Morning Quarterback: Chapman gives SDSU bright hope for future

Win 20.

This has been the motto from the start of the season for San Diego State football.

But after the loss of graduate-transfer quarterback Max Smith in last week’s victory over the University of Nevada, even with a perfect Mountain West Conference record and home field in the championship game, the Aztecs’ future did not look bright.

But their hopes were resurrected by redshirt-freshman quarterback Christian Chapman, who produced a somewhat revelatory performance in his first career start to lead SDSU to a 27-24 win in its first MW championship game appearance, when his team needed it most.
