Are the Aztecs worthy: we will find out on Saturday!

As much as I loath UNLV, the prospect of losing to the Rebels this year is somewhat troubling. Remember the Aztecs are in a “rebuilding” year; so, if UNLV is to get lucky and steal a game from SDSU at Vejas, this year is probably it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still believe that SDSU is clearly the better team (even in a rebuilding year), and more importantly has thrashed UNLV over and over again over the last several meetings: A streak that I have relished over again and again.

UNLV brings to Vejas a team SDSU faced last year excluding one of the thorns by the name of Trevon Willis. They score well and currently rank 10th in the nation. Look for the Rebels to take a page out of Creighton’s strategy by “running” the 7-man scholarship roster of SDSU into the ground. Fatiguing the Aztecs may be a viable option but in the end the show will simply be too much and the Aztecs will prevail; winning by 5 and going 1-0 in conference play.
