BYU and San Diego State were fierce rivals in the WAC and Mountain West; now they meet again

Provo • As a former BYU fullback, coach Kalani Sitake is all too familiar with the old rivalry against San Diego State, which will be revived Saturday in the regular season finale for both teams in San Diego.

During the years that Sitake played for BYU (1994, 1997-2000), the Cougars went 3-1 against the Aztecs. And what stood out to the fourth-year coach most back then was the weather.

The team always played in late October or November, so the warmer southern California weather was a nice break from the chillier weather in Provo. Ironically, the Cougars will do just that this weekend as they escape this week's snowy conditions.
