University of San Diego’s field was deemed too small.Īnd no, the city is not named after Johnny Carson.
Why not other San Diego venues? None were “big time” enough, the San Diego Union-Tribune wrote last year.īaseball’s Petco Park was not an option, as it would require major renovations and a change to the lease. In the interim, the school felt its best option was in Carson - in the same, smaller stadium that temporarily housed the Chargers. They are rebuilding a newer, smaller stadium that is scheduled to open next season. San Diego State bought the stadium and blew it up literally. The deteriorating conditions there convinced the NFL’s Chargers to move to Los Angeles County. Why Carson?Ĭall it San Diego Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, Qualcomm Stadium, and another name or two … it no longer exists. They were a very good football team,” DeBoer said.įresno State spent two weeks in the Top 25, ranking as high as 18, until its Oc.t 2 loss at Hawaii.
But … we’ve got to get the job done on Saturday. “I would hope at some point we want to get to that. Does DeBoer think a win will catapult the Bulldogs back into the Top 25? The Aztecs (7-0, 3-0 Mountain West) are ranked 21st in the AP poll and 20th in the coaches poll. “We are really understanding our system better and better,” DeBoer said. Last year, they would have to change up the defensive system on a weekly basis. I think just their offensive line is physical,” DeBoer said giving his scouting report.ĭeBoer praised the Bulldogs’ consistency in week-to-week game planning. Greg Bell, a 200-pound running back, is the leader with 603 rushing yards. On offense, the Aztecs run the ball twice as much as they throw. “It’s a lot harder to score points when you got to go the distance.”
I mean, almost every punt you just got to expect that you’re going to be deep in your own territory,” DeBoer said. “He just flips the field on you so many times. He is a mid-season All-America and occasional kicks long field goals as well.
Matt Araiza, a hometown San Diego star, leads the nation with 50.8 net punting yard average. To win means stopping the Aztecs’ running game.īut, that also means dealing with San Diego State’s punter. No matter the venue, the Bulldogs (6-2, 3-1 Mountain West) are expecting their most physical game of the season.
