Aztecs Travel For Final Time In '99 San Diego State Faces UNLV Saturday The San Diego State Aztecs, 3-6 overall and 1-4 in Mountain West Conference action, return to play Saturday, traveling to Las Vegas to face the UNLV Rebels. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. The game marks just the second for the Aztecs since Oct. 23rd.
Storyline
The Aztecs return to Las Vegas for the first time since losing to North Carolina in the 1998 Las Vegas Bowl by a 20-13 score. On the sidelines, UNLV head coach John Robinson faces one of his former assistants in San Diego State boss Ted Tollner. Tollner followed Robinson as head coach at Southern California. He served as Robinson?s assistant at both USC and with the Los Angeles Rams.
Friendly Confines?
San Diego State will be back in its element this week. The Aztecs will be trying to improve to 3-3 on the road. The Aztecs are just 1-3 at home. San Diego State is 6-6 in its last 12 conference road games. SDSU picked up its lone MWC win this season on the road at ColoradoState.
Aztec Angle
The Aztecs, with two games remaining, will be looking to close 1999 on a high note, despite a season of "what-ifs": ? In 1999, San Diego State has had five games decided in the fourth quarter (including No. 17 Southern California). The Aztecs have just one win (Colorado State) to show for their efforts.
? Three losses have come by a total of seven points, including a pair of Mountain West Conference losses by just four points.
? The key stat of the year is turnovers. SDSU has 23 turnovers through nine games after turning the ball over 20 times during last year?s drive to the Las Vegas Bowl.
? The Aztecs have turned the ball over 22 times in their six losses and just once in their three wins.
? The Aztecs are 2-4 in games following bye weeks under Ted Tollner.
Conference Calls
? The Aztecs are 10-6 in their last 16 conference games.
? San Diego State has dropped two straight conference games and four of its five this season.
Aztec Streaks and Stuff
? The Aztecs are 26-of-28 in the red zone this season (16 touchdowns and 10 field goals).
? SDSU?s only dry trips into the red zone were a botched field-goal attempt in the snow at Colorado Sate, and a fumble on the final drive of the day at Utah.
? Through nine games, San Diego State has 1,811 passing yards, easily surpassing last season's total of 1,616 yards.
By The Numbers
? San Diego State is 2-1 in games in which it does not commit a turnover and 1-5 when it gives the ball away at least once.
? In the Aztecs? last three losses, they have outgained the opposition by a total of 205 yards.
? The Aztecs are outscoring the opposition in the first half by a 116-105 count. In the second half, however, SDSU has been outscored 107-80.
? The Aztec offense has two touchdowns in the last 10 quarters, but SDSU has moved the ball better than the opposition when combining total yardage from the last three games.
A Case For The Defense
? The San Diego State defense is making a strong case as one of the best units in school history.
? San Diego State is currently 16th nationally and second in the Mountain West in total defense, allowing 301.2 yards per game.
? SDSU is 19th nationally against the rush, giving up 106.1 yards per contest.
? Six of San Diego State?s nine opponents have been held below 300 yards of total offense and only four of the last 14 opponents have reached 300 yards.
? Brigham Young, which entered the San Diego State game ranked 11th nationally in total offense with an average of 458.4 yards per game, managed just 297 yards at Qualcomm.
? Only two individuals have rushed for 100 yards against SDSU this season (Mike Thiessen of Air Force and Mike Anderson of Utah).
? Every starting defensive lineman has a sack.
? San Diego State has picked off a pass in six of its nine games this season.
? The Aztec defense has allowed two touchdowns or less in five of the nine games this season and in 12 of the last 18 games overall.
? Brigham Young had to drive a total of 53 yards for 12 off its points, including a fumble return for a touchdown and a fumble recovery on the San Diego State six.
? On consecutive possessions, Brigham Young started at the San Diego State 29 and the six. The Cougars managed a total of just three points.
? BYU's 297 yards of total offense marked its lowest output since the Cougars gained 236 yards in their last meeting vs. the Aztecs (1998).
Passing Marks
? The Aztecs have already surpassed last year?s total of TD passes (eight) with 12 this season.
? San Diego State has seven touchdowns on plays that have covered at least 40 yards and nine scores have come from at least 20 yards out.
? Six players have touchdown catches in 1999, compared to four for all of 1998.
Time Management
? Along with its big-play ability, the Aztecs have become adept at the sustained drive. Through nine games, San Diego State has:
? Scored on 16 drives that covered at least 60 yards.
? Scored on 12 drives that have covered at least 70 yards
? Scored on eight drives that covered at least 80 yards.
? Had three touchdown drives that took over six minutes off the clock.
Rushing To Wins
? In the 1990s, San Diego State is 45-20-2 when it has a runner break the 100-yard mark, including a 25-9 record under Ted Tollner.
? As a team, the Aztecs are 46-13-1 this decade when they rush for 150 yards, including a 27-6 mark under Tollner.
Series History
? San Diego State and UNLV are meeting for the ninth time. The series is tied at four games each, with the Aztecs winning the last outing in 1997, 20-17, in overtime, in San Diego.
? SDSU's victory in `97 snapped UNLV's three-game winning streak in the series. It also marked head coach Ted Tollner's first win vs. the Rebels.
? Saturday marks just the third trip to Sam Boyd Stadium to face UNLV for the Aztecs. The schools last met in Las Vegas in 1996. UNLV won the high-scoring affair, 44-42, and spoiled any postseason bowl chances for SDSU.
? The Aztecs own a 1-3 mark in Sam Boyd Stadium, including last year?s loss in the Las Vegas Bowl. Their last win at UNLV came in 1981.
San Diego State-UNLV Last Time
Oct. 16 1997, Qualcomm Stadium ? The Aztecs overcame the loss of their starting quarterback, Kevin McKechnie (compression fracture vertebra), and won an overtime battle, 20-17, to end a three-game losing streak to the Rebels as well as a five-game skid in the `96 season.
? SDSU saw a 17-0 lead evaporate in the second half as UNLV scored 17 unanswered points to tie the contest. The Rebels had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but missed a 55-yard field goal attempt.
? With the score knotted at 17, SDSU's defense rose to the occasion when linebacker Andy Osborne intercepted a pass from UNLV?s John Denton in overtime. Aztec quarterback Mike Smith drove SDSU 18 yards to set up a 24-yard field goal by Nate Tandberg to secure the win. San Diego State-UNLV Stat Look

San Diego State Head Coach Ted Tollner
? Ted Tollner is in his sixth season as head coach of the Aztec football program. In 1998, Tollner was recognized as the Western Athletic Conference Pacific Division "Coach of the Year" for his efforts in leading SDSU to 7-5 record, a share of the WAC Pacific Division championship and the school's first bowl appearance in seven years.
? He has compiled a 35-32 (.522) overall record at SDSU. In his career, Tollner has amassed a 61-52-1 (.535) record of which includes four bowl berths, including a win in the 1984 Rose Bowl while at the helm at USC.
? In the spring of 1996, Tollner signed a 10-year contract with San Diego State University, an agreement unprecedented in the California State University system.
? Prior to being named SDSU's 14th head football coach, Tollner served eight years as an Aztec assistant (1973-80), under Claude Gilbert, now SDSU's defensive coordinator. The 59-year-old Tollner also spent seven years as an NFL assistant coach (Buffalo Bills - 1987, San Diego Chargers - '89-91, Los Angeles Rams - '92-93).
UNLV Head CoachJohn Robinson
? Now in his 23rd season as a head coach, including his 13th in the collegiate ranks, John Robinson is in his first year at the helm of UNLV. Robinson became the program's eighth head coach on Dec. 3, 1998.
? Robinson, 64, is the nation's eighth-winningest active coach with a career record of 107-41-4 for a winning percentage of .722. He holds a 7-1 record in bowl games.
? He served two stints at Southern California. In 1978 Robinson led USC to a national championship with a 12-1 mark. The following year he garnered national Coach-of-the-Year honors, guiding the men of Troy to an 11-0-1 campaign.
? Robinson left USC in 1982 to become head coach of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. In nine seasons he produced the most victories (79) in Rams history. He reached the playoffs six times and twice advanced to the NFC Championship game (1985-`89). He returned to USC in 1993 and spent five seasons at the helm.
Scouting The Rebels
? UNLV enters Saturday's contest with a three-game losing streak and losses in six of its last seven games. In last week's game at Air Force, the Rebels lost by a 35-16 count.
? UNLV is searching for its first win of the season at Sam Boyd Stadium. The Rebels have not won a home contest since Oct. 11, 1997, and have won only three times at Sam Boyd Stadium in the last 19 appearances. One of those victories was against SDSU in `96.
? As a team, UNLV is last in the league in total offense and defense. In nine games played, the Rebels? offense is averaging 253.4 yards a game and 15 points a game. The defense is allowing 393.9 yards to its opponents and a league-high 28 points a game.
? The Rebels are first in the Mountain West in pass defense. UNLV's secondary is allowing just 158.2 yards and has 10 interceptions to its credit. UNLV had its best day in a 35-32 win at Wyoming, intercepting four passes on the way to its first conference win. Sophomore cornerback Kevin Thomas leads the secondary with four interceptions, to rank third in the Mountain West.
? Linebacker James Sunia leads the team in total tackles and is fifth in the conference with 85 stops (9.4 avg.) including 53 solos and 32 assisted. He also has two sacks.
? Wide receiver Nate Turner is UNLV's primary offensive threat. The speedy wideout leads the team in receiving with 36 catches for 463 yards and six touchdowns. He's averaging 51.4 yards per game and 12.9 yards per reception.
Local Ties
? In November of 1982, San Diego State head coach Ted Tollner was named the successor to John Robinson as Southern California?s head coach. Tollner spent one season (1982) as the offensive coordinator and running backs coach at USC under Robinson. Tollner spent four seasons at USC.
? UNLV carries 39 players from the state of California, including wide receiver and return specialist Duane James, who is a 1997 graduate of Mira Mesa High School.
Last Time Out
? San Diego State took an early 7-0 lead before Brigham Young retaliated with 30 unanswered points to knock off the Aztecs, 30-7, on Nov. 6th at Qualcomm Stadium.
? With a 13-7 halftime lead, the Cougars took control on the second half?s first possession when Rob Morris sacked SDSU quarterback Jack Hawley, forcing a fumble that was recovered by BYU?s Hans Olsen, who returned it 24 yards for a touchdown.
? Despite the final score, which included 10 BYU points off Aztec miscues, the SDSU defense turned in one of its better performances of the season, holding a Cougar offense that came in averaging over 458 yards a game to just 295 yards. The Aztecs also held BYU to just 13 first half points (none in the first quarter), the fewest tallied by the Cougars since they scored 13 in the season opener against Washington.
? SDSU redshirt freshman quarterback Lon Sheriff saw the first significant action of his career, playing all but the opening series of the second half against the Cougars. He finished the game 9-for-16 passing for 94 yards, including a 34-yard hook-up with junior wide receiver Derrick Lewis.
? Senior running back Jonas Lewis led the Aztecs on the ground with a game-high 75 yards on 14 carries. It was his third best outing of the season.
? On defense, senior defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila added to his SDSU career-sack record with two for minus nine yards. He now has 10 on the season and 30 for his career.
Aztecs At A Glance
Tough Twosome
? The SDSU rushing tandem of Larry Ned and Jonas Lewis has proven to be a potent combination once again this season. Through nine games, Ned and Lewis have rushed for 1,347 yards on 247 carries, an average of 149.7 yards per game.

Ned Nuggets
Despite splitting time with teammate Jonas Lewis, Ned:
? Leads the Aztecs in rushing with 737 yards on 133 carries (5.5 ypc).
? Ranks fourth in the Mountain West Conference in rushing with an average of 91.5 ypg.
? Has a team-leading eight touchdowns and is second on the team in scoring with 48 points.
? Has rushed for 414 yards in the last four games.
? Had a career day at Utah, rushing for 203 yards on 18 attempts (11.3 ypc).
Hawley Hype
? Though he?s done most of his damage to opponents through the air this season, junior quarterback Jack Hawley showed he can also do it on the ground when he scored his first career rushing touchdown on a nine-yard first quarter scamper against BYU.
? On the season, Hawley has connected on 122-of-225 (54.2 percent) passes for 1,502 yards and 10 touchdowns. He ranks fourth in the Mountain West Conference in passing (166.9 ypg), TD passes (10) and total offense (172.0 ypg).
Gray Matters
? Junior tight end Gray McNeill has quietly emerged as one of the MWC?s more productive tight ends. Against BYU, McNeill finished the game with a team-high five receptions for 59 yards. The five catches tied a career high set this season against New Mexico, while his 59 receiving yards established a new career best.
Tandberg Lou Groza Finalist
? Junior Nate Tandberg is a semi-finalist for the 1999 Lou Groza Award, annually awarded to the nation?s top kicker. He is enjoying a breakout season in 1999. To date, Tandberg has connected on 12 of his 16 field goals attempts, including a perfect 10-of-10 inside 40 yards. He is also 22-for-22 on extra points. Last season, Tandberg connected on just eight field goals for the entire season (8-14).
? In SDSU?s last nine games, dating back to the Aztecs? 34-29 win over UTEP on Nov. 21 1998, Tandberg has been good on 16-of-20 (80 percent) field-goal attempts.
? Twice this season, Tandberg has connected on three field goals in a game (Air Force and Utah).
Laying it on the Line
? According to coaches, three Aztecs on the offensive line are having strong seasons:
? Regarded as the premier center in the Mountain West Conference, Mike Malano has graded out at 90 percent through the first nine games of the season, the highest on the squad, including an amazing 97 percent in back-to-back games against USC and Kansas. In fact, the senior has not had a penalty called against him all season and in SDSU?s 284 pass attempts this season, Malano has been charged individually with just three quarterback sacks.
? One of the most underrated players on the Aztec team, Andrew Kline, may be the most physical of the offensive linemen. He far and away leads the team in ?pancake? hits with 28, including eight at Utah, and he has allowed just one quarterback sack. Kline has graded out at 88 percent through the first nine games.
? Ted Printy has emerged as a real gem in his first and only year of eligibility at SDSU. A starter in every game, he has allowed just two quarterback sacks. In fact, Printy has given up no sacks, pressures or quarterback hits since the second game of the season vs. Illinois. He has graded out at 90 percent in the first nine games and has committed just three penalties.
Nice Debuts
? Junior Bishop Miller made the most of his first extended action last game versus BYU, snaring his first career interception. The pick, which came off Cougar quarterback Kevin Feterik in the first quarter, led to SDSU?s only touchdown of the night. Fellow defensive back Ricky Sharpe, a redshirt freshman, also made his first start in an SDSU uniform, and finished the game with six tackles (five solo).
Iron Men
? Senior center Mike Malano and senior defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila each extended their consecutive starts streaks against BYU. Malano has now started 44 straight, while on the other side of the ball, Gbaja-Biamila is currently in the midst of a 33-game starting streak.
Aztec Record Watch
Rico Curtis
? With eight tackles against BYU, senior strong safety Rico Curtis now has 85 stops for the season and 353 (8.0 per game) in his career. That figure ranks second on SDSU?s all-time tackles chart. Curtis, a senior, trails only former Aztec great Whip Walton, who tallied 407 tackles from 1974-77. Curtis posted a career-high 14 stops on Oct. 2, 1999, against Air Force.

Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
? Senior defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila added to his SDSU sack record with two for minus-nine yards versus BYU. He now has 30 for his career. Gbaja-Biamila became San Diego State?s all-time leader in sacks when he recorded three at Kansas to surpass former record holder Mike Douglass, who posted 26 from 1976-77.
? Gbaja-Biamila?s two sacks against the Cougars also moved him into SDSU?s single season top-10 with 10 sacks this season.

Jonas Lewis
Senior Jonas Lewis continued his climb up SDSU?s all-time rushing chart last week with 75 yards on 14 carries. He now ranks fourth in rushing with 2,578 yards and needs just 41 more to move into SDSU?s top three. His 14 carries also moved him within five of the No. 2 slot. With 546 for his career, he needs just six more to pass Wayne Pittman (551 rushes from 1991-94) and take sole possession of second place. Both rushing records are currently held by Aztec legend Marshall Faulk, who rushed for 4,589 yards on 766 attempts between 1991-93. For the season, Lewis has 536 yards on 114 carries (4.7 ypc).
