San Diego -- On a beautiful day with the temperatures hitting the mid 80s San Diego State welcomed the Colorado State Rams to Qualcom Stadium. The visiting team didn't seem effected by the warm temperatures as they go home with a 38-26 victory.

CSU was lead by Sr HB Chris Nwoke who ran for 64 yards and 3 touchdowns, Jr Tony Drake added another rushing touchdown."Pete (Thomas) couldn't really find much of a rhythm against the 3-3-5 defense today, and it was a really close game until the second half when I finally started to get some success running through the middle of the line instead of around it aand into their fast guys on the corners." Nwoke commented.

QB Pete Thomas was 16 of 37 passing for 302 yards and 2 interceptions.
Jr WR Bernard Blake lead the receiving corps with 74 yards on 4 catches.
CB Shaq Bell recovered a fumble and returned in for a TD in the 4th quarter to put the game out of reach for the Aztecs. "I feel like everyone always discounts our defense, even with the All-Americans in the middle of the line, the rest of us aren't getting any respect. I'm looking forward to showing everyone how good Mitchell and I are on the outside."Bell commented.

Sr FS Ezra Thompson commented after the game,"It's always so much fun to come down here and play in an NFL stadium, After last week playing in Denver and this week at Qualcom, I'm going to be a little disappointed when we goto a small field with what will seem like a handful of people." Fr HB Gordon King talked about the experience,"These stadiums are beautiful, I think that I'm going to feel like I'm back in highschool once we start getting the smaller stadiums and crowds, It's been a really exciting way to open up the year."

For SDSU Sr QB Ryne Clark had a good start to his season with 288 yards on 19 of 30 passing for 3 touchdowns and one interception. Sr WR Osmond Nicholas had 83 yards and one touchdown reception, while Sr TE Justin Hall was a big target in the redzonewith 2 TD catches.

"It's been 3 years since we've come out on the winning side against the Aztecs. They always throw a wrinkle into our plans with the 3-3-5 defense, Thomas just can't seem to grasp it. No other team in the Mountain West runs it regularly though, so no more worries for this year." CSU coach Drew Gill said after the game.
