As expected, a middlin' kind of win, but not one that leaves questions unanswered. Unfortunately, I think answers came in heaps in San Diego State's 35-19 defeat of Southern Utah of the lower-level FCS.
1. The Aztecs can't generate a running game. The blocking is very poor and the running backs wouldn't see the field for a lot of FCS teams. There were a ton of cutback lanes open that Brandon Sullivan and Anthony Miller couldn't make. This team won't average over 100 yards rushing in conference play.
2. The secondary couldn't cover a grandmother with a rocking chair.
3. QB Ryan Lindley and the receivers were back on the same page, which saved the game.
4. You don't want to bore the fans at the Sky Show game and they did.
5. Give the offensive line props for keeping Lindley's uniform clean for the second game in a row.
6. When budgeting your entertainment dollar for the holidays, don't plan on a bowl game. Tonight's performance was one of a four-win team at best. The game at Idaho next week suddenly looks dicey. Save the $$ for basketball.
