The San Diego State Aztecs (2-3, 1-1 Mountain West) will look to bounce back from their first conference loss of the season at Fresno State when they take on the New Mexico Lobos (2-3, 0-1 MW) tonight in Albuquerque.
SDSU true freshman quarterback Nick Bawden made his debut last Friday, he’s poor debut (9 of 24, three turnovers) was there for all to see. Tough night for the kid. The coaches say they were disappointed, but they know the reality as much as anyone. Bawden struggling with a speed of the game he’d never seen was more likely than him excelling.
Now he gets another chance, with senior Quinn Kaehler’s shoulder injury still serious enough to keep him out another week, head coach Rocky Long and the Aztecs will have to put their faith in the gun-slinging freshman yet again.

New Mexico features one of the more exciting offenses in college football: the triple option. The offense averages over 400 yards of per game, and on the ground it averages averages a little over 320 yards per game--good for fifth-best in the country.
The Lobos use a dual quarterback system, consisting of junior Cole Gautsche and redshirt-freshman Lamar Jordan. But neither quarterback actually throws the ball much at all. They have a combined 45 pass attempts on the season.
There’s no questioning that this game will be decided on the ground, considering that is where both these teams thrive.
