SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State football team will conduct an intrasquad scrimmage at the Marine Sports Complex Field aboard the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on Friday, Aug. 11 in Miramar, Calif. The one-hour scrimmage will follow several opportunities where Aztec players and staff will interact with Active Duty Marines and Sailors on the installation.
Beginning at 9 a.m. PT, 21 SDSU seniors will enjoy breakfast with the MCAS Miramar Falcons football team. At 10:30 a.m. PT, the remainder of the team will arrive along with the San Diego State dance team and Aztec Warrior.
At 11 a.m. PT, the team will be greeted by MCAS Miramar's Commanding Officers and will provide autographs and photos opportunities to the attending military community.
The scrimmage is slated to start at noon PT and will last approximately an hour. The event is open to all patrons with a valid military issued ID card.
The Aug. 11 scrimmage is the fifth practice for the San Diego State veteran players and the ninth for the newcomers.
SDSU is coming off an 11-3 season, knocking off Wyoming, 27-24, in the MW Championship game and Houston, 34-10, in the Las Vegas Bowl, to finish with a No. 25 ranking in both the AP Top 25 poll and the Amway Coaches Poll. It was just the second time that San Diego State has been ranked in the final AP poll in program history (also 1977). The 11 wins tied a school single-season record as the Aztecs became the first team in program history with back-to-back 11-win campaigns.
