GRR: San Diego State
San Diego State dispatched Cal Poly 32-18 Saturday in a game between two California Conference rivals that wasn’t an actual conference game.
The longtime rivals like to play each other twice, so this game serves as a conference warmup, and the second clash will be the conference game.
In a wild non-conference game in Southern California, #46 San Diego State defeated #17 UCLA 42-41 Saturday.
It was a back-and-forth game in warm conditions at the UCLA campus, with the lead changing 11 times helped by an adventurous approach from both teams and plenty of defensive miscues.
The California Conference may well be all wrapped up for the St. Mary’s Gaels, but 2nd place isn’t a bad place to be, and San Diego State might well end up there.
After winning a wild one 59-44 over Santa Clara, the Aztecs are now 2-1 and only have their April 12 clash with Cal Poly left on the docket (Cal Poly is 1-1 and plays 0-2 UC Santa Barbara this Friday).
The United States Air Force Academy defeated San Diego State 46-18 to finish their fall 7-1.
