WEEK 6

(2-2) VS (4-1)

OPPONENT PREVIEW

After falling 19-10 to Stanford in Week 1, the Aztec's surprised #9 Arizona in Week 2 beating the Wildcats in OT 36-30 at home. In Week 3 it was a 45-44 thriller over Army on the road, before returning home to defeat MWC rival UNLV (0-5) 37-14. The Atzecs then pulled off another upset beating Nevada 27-24 on the road. QB R. Lindley enters the game with 1342 yds 11 TD's and just 2 INT in their first 5 games.

GAME RECAP

SDSU would score early and often as they took a 24-7 lead into the locker room. Lindley threw for 200 yds and 2 TD's.

WSU would score to open the 2nd half, as C. Halliday threw his 2nd TD of the game, but then it was all SDSU as the Atzecs added 18 more points as they took a 42-14 lead into the 4th Q.

In the 4th the Cougars "O" would finally show some life as Halliday hits J. Kartsetter on a 30 yd TD Pass and, RS SO C. Winston shows his big play ability with a 64 yd TD run. But Lindley wasn't done as the SR threw his 4th TD of the game to make it (49-28) WSU would get the ball back with a minute to play but failed to move the ball down field and with 22 seconds to play, Coach Dodge would run out Kicker D. Wagner to attempt a 45 yd FG.

POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH DODGE

"What can I say? Lindley played great today. Outplaying all of the QB's we have faced already (Moore,Thomas,Luck). I really thought we had our Offense going in the right direction after the 100 yd performance by Mitz against Stanford, but the Atzec's were ready and other then Winston's big run, they stopped us every time we tried to move the ball. I thought C. Halliday continues to play well. Obviously J. Tuell is our guy when he returns but Halliday's play gives us hope for a bright future. The opposing D has really learned to focus on Barton or Kartsetter but has failed to contain both. I was really proud of the way Halliday used Stormo today though and he came through with some big catches especially on 3rd downs.
