This is the first of two consecutive road games for the Aztecs, who travel to Columbia, Mo., for a match-up with Big 12 Conference member Missouri (1-0) next week.
Last Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego State cruised to a 47-0 victory. The Aztec defense pitched a shutout and limited the Colonels to 12 first downs, 171 total yards and 3-for-15 on third down conversions. Of Nicholls State's 63 offensive snaps, 32 went for zero or negative yards. The offense posted 313 yards and two touchdowns through the air and rushed for 218 yards and four scores on the ground. Senior DeMarco Sampson caught seven passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns and junior quarterback Ryan Lindley was 17-of-26 for 303 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Sophomore Walter Kazee 16 carries, 74 yards, one touchdown), true freshman Ronnie Hillman (15 carries, 65 yards, one touchdown) and senior starter Davon Brown (11 carries, 65 yards, two touchdowns) all piled up significant yardage.
With the victory last Saturday, San Diego State will enter this week's game with a winning record for the first time in 69 games. The last time the Aztecs entered a game with a winning record was Oct. 2, 2004 (2-1). In those previous 68 games, SDSU owned a .500 record nine times, including six times in a season opener, and owned a losing record on 59 occasions.
