Well, this may be a new century, but the Aztecs continue to give us the same old results. It seems like every time SDSU goes up against a school in the Pac-10, Big 10 or Big 12, it comes up short. Under head coach Ted Tollner, now in his seventh season, the Aztecs are a combined 4-14 against those conferences. If State wants to win the recruiting wars against those upper-echelon leagues, a few wins against those conferences would help. The offense was inconsistent.
Special teams play was, to be kind, mediocre at best.
In other words, it was a mixed bag of marvelous plays and miscues. Senior quarterback Jack Hawley plays with confidence and determination, although he took off running far too many times instead of dumping the ball off to a receiver. Maybe Hawley doesn't have much confidence in his receivers. His receivers dropped 10 balls on the night. There are previous Aztec teams that didn't drop 10 balls in a season let alone one game.
