No. 21 takes on Fresno State Bulldogs in the Battle For the Old Oil Can

After a huge win at Air Force, the San Diego State Aztecs (7-0, 3-0 Mountain West Conference) will try to keep their historic streak going as they welcome the Fresno State Bulldogs (6-2, 3-1 MWC) on Saturday, Oct. 30.

Last week the Aztecs faced what seemed like their toughest challenge of the year up to that point — that might be better served to describe this weekend’s matchup against the Bulldogs.

Historically, SDSU has routed Fresno State in this in-state rivalry game dubbed the “Battle for the Old Oil Can.” However — after winning six of the last ten meetings — the Bulldogs have clearly stated they are tired of being the little brother and would love to reclaim the Old Oil Can trophy after SDSU captured it in their 17-7 victory over the Bulldogs in 2019.
