Storyline
The Aztecs and Jayhawks have taken similar paths to 1-2 with both squadsstill looking for their defining game in 1999. San Diego State andKansas have posted their lone wins against I-AA opposition, but playedwell on the road against Top 25 opposition.

? Lead the Mountain West Conference in total defense, allowing 292 yardsper game.
? Rank 26th nationally in total defense, despite playing two of thenation?s top 15 scoring teams over the last two weeks (USC is ninth with43 points per game and Illinois is 15th, scoring 40 points per contestduring their three-game winning streak).
? With sacks against USC by Jerome Haywood and Scottie Nicholson, everystarting defensive lineman has at least one quarterback sack thisseason.

Last Time Out
? San Diego State dropped a heartbreaking 24-21 decision at USC last week. After trailing 17-0 late in the second quarter, the Aztecsrallied, scoring the game?s next 14 points to cut the Trojans? lead to17-14 as the teams entered the final period. An 18-play, 93-yard USCtouchdown drive to open the fourth quarter seemed to put the game out ofreach. However, Aztec safety Jermaine Watkins returned an interception62 yards for a score to bring SDSU within a field goal at 24-21 with4:24 to play. After a Trojan punt, San Diego State could not convert ona 4th-and-6 from the USC 44 with 0:56 left.
? After not turning the ball over in the first two games of the season,early miscues hindered the Aztecs, including an interception by USC?sKris Richard that was returned 51 yards for a touchdown in the secondquarter. San Diego State finished the game with six turnovers, five ofwhich occurred in the first half.
? Despite giving USC the ball in SDSU territory on four of the Trojans?eight first-half possessions ? three via turnover, one via a long puntreturn ? the Aztec defense was spectacular and yielded just a singlefield goal on those four drives. An incredible goal line stand in thesecond quarter kept SDSU in the game early. The Aztecs turned theTrojans back on downs and forced a long field goal, which was missed, onthe other two drives.
? For the game, San Diego State yielded just 284 net yards to USC, whichrolled up 529 yards and 62 points in its season-opening victory atHawai`i. The Aztecs were particularly solid against the run, holding theTrojans to 96 yards on 42 carries (2.3 ypc), and registering six tacklesfor loss and two sacks.
? SDSU went bombs-away on its first score of the game when quarterbackJack Hawley connected with wide receiver Derrick Lewis on a 45-yardtouchdown pass as time expired in the first half. It was the longest TDpass for the Aztecs since Brian Russell hit Damon Gourdine with a 57-yard strike against Hawai`i on Oct. 9, 1998? Through the air, Hawley, making his first Division I start, hit on 16-of-32 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown, but did have four passesintercepted.
? Larry Ned, who was held to just 22 yards on seven carries, tallied hisfourth touchdown of the season on an 3-yard third-quarter burst up themiddle. Backfield mate Jonas Lewis led all Aztecs on the ground with 41yards on 13 tries.
Aztecs At A Glance
Ned Has Nose For End Zone
? Junior Larry Ned, who rushed for a pair of touchdowns in the seasonopener, cashed in his fourth of the year last week at USC on an three-yard burst. He enters the week as the Aztecs? leading scorer with 24points. His 8.0 points per game average ranks him sixth in the MountainWest Conference. Ned entered the season with four rushing touchdowns.
? Through two games, Ned has gained 201 yards on 34 carries for a 5.9ypc average. His per game average (67.0) ranks fifth in the MWC.
Go-Go Gourdine
? Though he?s been slowed by an ankle injury, Damon Gourdine continuesto be SDSU?s go-to receiver. The Aztecs? leading pass-catcher with 12reception for 143 yards (11.9 ypc) and a touchdown, Gourdine isresponsible for over 23 percent of SDSU?s completions in 1999. His four-reception-per-game average also ranks ninth in the MWC. Last year as ajunior, Gourdine hauled in 55 catches ? more than a third of the Aztecs?total receptions ? and scored four touchdowns. On special teams,Gourdine was perhaps even more dangerous, ranking second in the nationin put return average (18.4), and scoring two TDs.
Derrick Lewis Continues to Shine
? JC transfer wide receiver Derrick Lewis is beginning to emerge as acomplement to Damon Gourdine in SDSU?s offense. One of only three Aztecsto catch a touchdown on the season, Lewis is SDSU?s second-leadingreceiver with six catches for 101 yards (16.8 ypc), including a 45 yardTD pass from Jack Hawley as time expired in the first half at USC.
Watkins Watch
? Senior free safety Jermaine Watkins is making his presence felt in hisfirst years as a starter. Through three games, Watkins is the Aztecs?second-leading tackler with 26 stops (14 unassisted), including nine atUSC. Versus the Trojans, Watkins also had a pass break-up and a 62-yardinterception return for a touchdown ? the longest in the MWC so far thisseason. The previous week at Illinois, Watkins was all over the fieldand finished the game as SDSU?s leading tackler with 11 stops (sixunassisted). He also recovered a fumble at the SDSU 6-yard-line,thwarting a potential Illinois score.
Chlumak Steps Up
? After making only one start as a junior, Martin Chlumak has stepped upin 1999 and is providing the Aztecs with some crucial senior leadership.The Aztecs? leading tackler with 31 stops (20 solo) ? a figure that alsoranks third in the MWC ? Chlumak has terrorized opposing backfield inthe first three games, registering three sacks (minus 24 yards), afigure that ranks third in the Mountain West. Entering the season,Chlumak had only 22 career tackles (14 solo) to his credit, includingjust one for loss. Versus USC last week, Chlumak was credited with 13tackles.
Sisco Solid at SC
? After getting off to a shaky start in the season?s first two games,SDSU punter Justin Sisco showed the kind of form against the Trojansthat made him a JC All-American last year at Riverside CC. On four puntsat USC, Sisco averaged 47.3 yards, including a season-long 54 yarder,and killed two inside the 20, one of which the Aztecs downed at theTrojan 1-yard line.
Preseason Praise
Four Aztecs have received a plethora of preseason publicity and havebeen recognized by the national media as players likely to be honoredagain at the end of the season. The following is a synopsis of some ofthe recognition already bestowed on individual Aztec players:
? Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (DE): Mike Fox/Bronko Nagurski Trophy candidate(nation?s best defensive player), Preseason All-America (NFL DraftReport), All-America second team (Athlon), All-Mountain West Conferencefirst team (Athlon, Football News, Lindy?s, Sporting News), No. 8defensive end in the country (Sporting News).
? Rico Curtis (SS): Jim Thorpe Award candidate (nation?s best defensiveback), All-Mountain West Conference first team (Athlon, Lindy?s), All-MWC second team (Sporting News).
? Damon Gourdine (WR/KR): All-American second team - punt returner(Athlon), All-Mountain West Conference first team (Athlon, Lindy?s,Sporting News), No. 8 return man in the nation (Sporting News).
? Mike Malano (C): All-America second team (Football News), All-Americathird team (Athlon), All-Mountain West Conference (Athlon, FootballNews, Lindy?s, Sporting News), Sixth-best center in the nation (SportingNews).
Aztec Record Watch
? With nine tackles, including six unassisted stops, against SouthernCalifornia, senior strong saftey Rico Curtis now has 25 tackles for theseason and 297 (8.02 per game) for his Aztec career. That figure ranksthird on SDSU?s all-time total tackles chart. Although it is doubtfulthat he could make enough stops to wrest the top spot from Whip Walton,who tallied 407 tackles from 1974-77, he only needs 31 to surpass No. 2Jason Moore (328 from 1994-97). If Curtis keeps making stops at hiscurrent pace, that could happen as soon as the Utah game on Oct. 23 inSalt Lake City.

? Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was held without a sack for the first time thisseason against USC. However, he still ranks tied for first in theMountain West Conference and leads the Aztecs in that category with fouron the season for minus-36 yards. He did, however, record six tacklesversus the Trojans, including an unassisted stop. He enters the Kansasgame with 25 sacks for his career and is tied for second on SDSU?s all-time sack list. With his next sack, Gbaja-Biamila will tie Mike Douglass(26 sacks from 1976-77) for the Aztecs? all-time lead in that category.He is closing in on SDSU?s all-time tackles for loss record with 29 forhis career. He needs jus eight more to supplant Kevin Richey in stopsbehind the line of scrimmage. Richey registered 37 tackles for lossduring his Aztec career from 1979-82.
