San Diego State opens a three-game homestand, its first in 17 seasons (Nov. 14-28, 1992), with a game on Halloween against New Mexico.
Saturday's kickoff is set for 4:34 p.m. PT at Qualcomm Stadium and the contest will be televised nationally in high definition by CBS College Sports. The game can also be heard in Southern California on AM 600 KOGO.
The Aztecs are coming off their biggest road rally to win a game in a nine seasons, overcoming a 14-point second-half deficit en route to defeating Colorado State, 42-28.
Sophomore quarterback Ryan Lindley and senior wide receiver DeMarco Sampson shared Mountain West Conference co-offensive players of the week, after producing career numbers. Lindley was 29-of-43 for a career-high 459 yards (12th-best in SDSU history), six touchdowns (fourth-best in school history) and no interceptions. Sampson, whose previous game highs were five receptions and 77 yards receiving, caught 15 passes (seventh-best in SDSU history) for 257 yards (ninth-best in school history) and three touchdowns (fifth-best in school history).
The victory snapped a 10-game road losing streak and allowed the Aztecs, under first-year head coach Brady Hoke, to surpass last season's win total one game into the second half of the 2009 campaign.
