The San Diego State Aztecs and Utah State Aggies will play for the Mountain West Conference title on Saturday in Carson, California.
For Utah State… The Aggies enter Saturday having won six of their last seven games. This is their second MWC championship game appearance in program history. They lost to Fresno State in 2013. For San Diego State… The Aztecs have won four games in a row after dropping a late October contest to Fresno State. Before that, San Diego State won six games in a row to start the campaign. They are playing in their third MWC title game in program history but first since 2016. This game could prove to be fascinating given that each side has pretty drastically different extreme strengths. The Aztecs, for example, are second in the country in run defense, giving up just 78.7 yards per contest. The Aggies, though, are 15th in the country in passing yards per game. Which side will be able to do what it’s best at? Cameron Thomas, DL, San Diego State: The junior is tied for 12th in the country in sacks on the season with 10.
