The San Diego State Aztecs (1-3) faced Penn State (3-1) in Happy Valley for the first time ever. It wasn’t a very happy occasion for the Aztecs as miscues cost them in a 37-21 loss.
A bright spot for the Aztecs continues to be on special teams. Coming into the game they were third in FBS in special teams efficiency. SDSU’s Rashaad Penny tied it at seven in the first quarter with a 100-yard kickoff return. He’s just the fourth Aztec in school history to accomplish that feat.
But the mistakes were too much for the Aztecs to overcome. The Aztecs turned the ball over three times. PSU capitalized with 21 points off turnovers.
The Aztecs head home October 3rd to start Mountain West play against Fresno State at Qualcomm Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled from 7:30 p.m. local time.
