It’s amazing when your “must win” situation comes against a team from the ridiculously-called Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA).
But that’s what San Diego State faces when it hosts Portland State at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in front of a big crowd coming to see the postgame KGB Sky Show; not the football game.
If the Aztecs lose this one, it will be worse than the loss to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last year.
Lose this one and it may as well all but be the end of Aztecs football. Few people seem to care now; it’s hard to imagine anybody (outside of the players and coaches) will care if they can’t come through this week.
Portland State is only 1-2, with losses coming to not-so-powerhouses McNeese State and UC Davis. At least the Aztecs (0-2) have lost to Pac-10 teams.
When it comes to coaching, Portland State clearly has a superior staff to SDSU’s.
The Vikings are under the direction of former NFL coach Jerry Glanville. Offensive coordinator Mouse Davis is the originator of the run-and-shoot offense.
We all know the Aztecs seem to come into games very unprepared. Portland State will show numerous looks offensively and defensively.
That could spell trouble for SDSU.
The Aztecs are touting this game as the chance for a third straight victory at home. I guess that means you can spin the numbers any way you want to and throw out the fact that the team is 3-11 under current head coach Chuck Long.
They better win this week … or else.
Prediction: SDSU 24, Portland State 20

If the Aztecs don't beat Portland, I think we all better give up on them!
