San Diego State (3-2, 0-1 MWC) started the year 3-0 but has dropped two straight and managed only 21 total points in those losses. It scored 114 points in the first three games. On Saturday in San Diego, the Aztecs fell 28-14 to TCU. Star QB Ryan Lindley, who is considered an NFL prospect, was just 15-for-41 for 201 yards with two TDs and three interceptions. And running back Ronnie Hillman, who was among the nation’s rushing leaders, was held to 55 yards on 20 carries. SDSU also turned the ball over four times.

Air Force (3-2, 0-1) was taken apart by Notre Dame on Saturday, 59-33. The Irish got TDs on all six of their first-half possessions and led 42-16 at the intermission. The two teams combined for 1,125 yards total offense — 565 by Air Force and 560 by Notre Dame. The Falcons rushed for a whopping 363 yards and as usual are among the nation’s top rushing teams (currently No. 2). But that defense is among the worst in the nation, allowing more than 34 points a game.

The Aztecs broke a three-game Air Force winning streak in this series with last year’s 27-25 victory in San Diego. Hillman rushed for 191 yards and two TDs. It was SDSU’s first win over a ranked team – AFA was No. 23 – since 1996.
