NDL: S29W4 - Texas (21) at San Diego State (38)
Horns Down(ed) by Tacos and CERVEZA
Article By: In a battle of San Diego Residents, in the beautiful Snapdragon Stadium, the Aztecs resembled their final four basketball team a couple years back and looked synchronized on both Offense and defense beating the #9 ranked Longhorns 38-21.
The early, back and forth was driven by balanced attacks on both sides.
The longhorns momentum to stay with the Aztec offensive firepower were fizzled by missed FG's, poor decisions that led to interceptions and inability to convert short yardage situations on third down.
The Aztecs offense was truly a thing of beauty, highlighted by a balanced attack throughout the game, 362 passing yards and 164 yards on the ground.
Coach Zazzera (BigZZ), the San Diego State Alum, Was asked about his teams poor performance after the game "We have been reading the headlines and partied way to hard out here in America's Finest city , its hard to say no to fish tacos and cerveza - add the beach and you have a reallll good time. But, the boys (and I) should of waited until after the game. Kudos to the Aztecs and their coach, he sure set me up pregame with a nice big hug... im running out of things to say here damnit. Im off to pacific beach to repeat last night."
The Longhorns better get straight quick or its going to be a long long season with some tough games ahead.
