It’s been a pretty rough year for the Aztecs in the win column so far.

San Diego State stopped the bleeding with a win over Texas State, but then got blown out by Oregon State for a 2-4 start through six games.
In game seven versus Fresno State, the Aztecs jumped out to a 13-0 lead but that edge dwindled a bit by halftime. San Diego State broke a 23-23 tie with a late field goal and took the win as time expired 26-23. QB Jayden Denegal was 7-of-10 for 112 yards and a touchdown. Lucky Sutton led the rush with his 18 carries for 110 yards in the winning effort.
Colorado State Rams Betting Preview
Over on the Colorado State side, they were able to get a couple of wins to start the year but they’ve hit the skids since then. The Rams took out Wyoming and Southern Utah in their first pair for a 2-0 start. The last four games have all been losses though, as the Rams have dropped to BYU, UTSA, Oregon State and Texas State for a 2-4 result this season.
Back on October 15 versus Texas State, the Rams gave up four unanswered touchdowns before they could even get on the board. Colorado State limped into the break with a 45-21 deficit and things didn’t get much better from there during a 66-27 blowout loss.
