SPOTLIGHT: San Diego State Can BOOST College Football Playoff Resume BIG TIME with Win vs. Hawaii

San Diego State Aztecs vs. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Preview This is a key Mountain West conference game with the Aztecs looking to maintain their lead in the standings. Key Storylines SDSU's Dominant Defense vs. Hawaii's Potent Passing Attack: This is the ultimate strength-on-strength matchup. San Diego State boasts one of the nation's best defenses, ranking very high in scoring defense (10.0 points per game), total defense, and pass defense. They will be tasked with slowing down Hawaii's high-powered passing offense, which ranks top-10 nationally, led by quarterback Micah Alejado and receivers like Jackson Harris and Pofele Ashlock. Mountain West Title Implications: San Diego State is currently in sole possession of first place in the Mountain West. A win here is crucial to their bid for the conference championship game in what is their final season in the MW before moving to the Pac-12. Aztecs' Winning Streak: SDSU is on a six-game winning streak and is enjoying a significant resurgence under coach Sean Lewis. Their ability to win on the road, especially after a long trip to Hawaii, will be tested. Recent Series History: While SDSU has dominated the series overall, the last four meetings have all been decided by one score, suggesting that a close game in Honolulu is very possible.
