First game at full force, pound the ball and long passes to Ruffin for the win.
Reno might be the biggest little town, but we have the best little running back in the country. Donnel pumps it up for 220 and 4 TDs as we sail past Nevada.

With QK, Ruffin and Largent back? I say redo the numbers. Oldie Out Agreed. Something like 28-25 Aztecas. Line has moved to -4 this morning. Line dropped further. It's now UNR -3. With 67% of the money stating SDSU wins outright. Betters are recognizing SDSU's increased health, the drop off of play after travelling to UH, and the Pump n Price show.

Very surprising line. With our inability to stretch the field, Nevada's defense must be horrific to only be favored by a field goal at home.

UNR's offense has been so much better than its defense year after year that you have to wonder whether they haven't been using the Al Lugenbill approach. Meaning placing all the guys who played on both sides of the ball in HS on offense to the detriment of their D.

Should be a hell of a game, this has become a nice little rivalry. I am pretty sure their fan base is pumped to beat us. Beat them and take the division.

The Nevada Reno Wolfpack won't win this Saturday because Munson, Barrett, Sanchez, Gavert, Pumphrey, Siragusa, Alesi, Gordon, Whittaker, Kazee,Lomax, Largent, Nobel, Mills and Kaehler won't let it happen. The Aztecs are getting healthy and ready to run the table.

Not sure what it is, but i have a bad vibe on their coach that Polian kid. Watching that Hawail game a bit and he just seemed to be complaining to the refs all night long.

SGF I'm curious, which guys did Lugi put on offense (beside Marshall of course) instead of defense?

Bill Polian was a highly regarded NFL GM. BRIAN Polian, OTOH, is a spoiled brat. Reminds me of a privileged version of that thoroughly disgusting little $#!+ Rudy Whozit who parlayed one meaningless tackle in front of Touchdown Jesus into an eponymous feature film and a speech making career at a couple thousand a pop. I'd love to see the two of them locked in an MMA ring with the proviso that neither gets out until he offs the other.

SGF I'm curious, which guys did Lugi put on offense (beside Marshall of course) instead of defense? I couldn't tell you myself. At the time there was no Internet from which to garner information plus I was working so hard trying to jump start my consulting business that I couldn't afford to take time to come down to SD for games. However, a number of years ago on Aztectalk some of the guys who closely followed the team in those days like Stephen put together a thread on the topic and it was very enlightening. Pretty much helped explain some of the reasons why Barry Lamb's defense was always gawd awful. Another reason was we had such a big play offense that we often scored so quickly that the defense never had adequate time to rest. Lack of depth + lack of rest on defense is a really bad combination and can result in 52-52 losses. SDSU never had a more polarizing coach than Al Lugenbill. Well, unless it was Tom Craft.

I dont' remember that thread from Atalk but it would be cool to hear those stories again. I always wondered if we had a better D how far could we have gotten. Maybe even garnered more Heisman votes as well for Marshall if we could've gotten a few more W's in the win column.

Nevada wins by 3 minus 4? So -1? So we win by 1? I agree completely.

If Lugie would have hired Claude Gilbert to run the defense instead of his buddy Lamb, we could have gotten more national attention. I'm not sure if Claude was still coaching SJSU at the time, but what a missed opportunity nonetheless. Marshall got us the media attention during his short stay here, but being a typical WAC team (aka Wild and Crazy) didn't do a damn thing for us.

I can count the number of Steve Fisher's missteps on one hand. However, our football program has tripped over its dick so many times it would take a super computer to calculate them all. Failing to sufficiently appreciate Claude is just one of the prominent examples. That said, Rocky makes a lot less mistakes than his predecessors so at least things are improving.

We forget, Rocky had his loyalties too. Didn't McGarry coach the LBers before ST? The linebacking has become a force again during the last couple of years. The ST has improved substantially since he was kicked upstairs.

Expect the game to be a tough one; but AZTECS have the experience and talent to beat the Wolfpack for the third time in 3 years. 1. Talent - The AZTECS should be at their strongest on defense and offense since the beginning of the season; 2. Experience - AZTECS Defense has played well against spread offenses over the last three years, and this season against NC and Fresno with shut-down performances; 3. Redemption Factor - AZTECS have failed to win against two spread teams this year NC and Fresno and let games get-away, time to WIN-IT! 4. Offense WR - E. Ruffin is back, E. Judge and E. Mills must make this their breakout games; and now you have the contributing underclassmen Clark, Hazley, Favreau, Holder; RBs - DP, CP, MStamps; tenacious FB DGordon; clutch FB/HB A. Roberts; TE - Toledo must continue to get blocking from this group, but for this game must get them into game plan with pass receiving plays; QB - Q Kaehler must match his performances in similar games over last two years by making the smart running game reads and calls, and making some pass plays; Ball Protection - High and tight 5. Defense DL - must first stop the run by RBs and keep Fajardo in the pocket and force third and longs, if he runs tackle-hard and strip the ball (create turn-overs); LBs - Should be stronger that it has been all year with return of Largent and Fely; Gavert, Galea, Muson; DBs - Got to have consistent shut-down coverage Safeties - Run Support; keep the Wolfpack Tight Ends covered; and provide support over-the-top Tackling - Got to have sure-tackles 6. Special Teams - Got to have consistent jobs by Hageman, McMorrow, Alesi; Overbaugh; Christensen; Penny and Mills; must find sure replacement for K. Kelly; Punt and kicks and Kick coverage teams must make sure tackles and blocks, respectively; Time to break one, or two or etc... Item 1 thru 6 above tell you that the AZTECS are primed and have ability to win this game at this point in the 2014 season. But the next three characteristics are the true keys to winning this game as follows: 7. Coaching: Don't repeat past mistakes, Looking for some elements of surprise in the play calling on offense and defense, and some new wrinkles they have not shown yet this year. 8. Execution - This is where AZTECs have not always stepped up in big games, must play as error free as possible and win the individual battles on the field; 10. Desire - AZTECS have shown they can play as a Team on the road with the desire to win ie. at Boise and Nevada over the last two years they played with a quite confidence. But this game is different, this is a statement Game, and the way they play must shout "We Are Top DOGs!" ....GO STATE!....walkonfan...

Friday UT has a great layout about the two starting QB's . Besides QB's . Game goes to team that can control the line of scrimmage. Can our guys force their QB to hurry things , yet contain his running ? Can our OL open holes to run and QK have time to throw on their weak DB's ?
