San Diego State - Possible Trap Game?

[bcatwilly]

This game has worried me since the schedule came out due to all of the "extra" stuff that will go with travelling to the West Coast and playing in a very different environment for the team.

The Bearcats "should" win this game it would seem, but even play like we did against Marshall in terms of mistakes and giving up passing yards and this thing could get scary. I was expecting the Bearcats to get much more pressure on the Marshall QB considering their offensive line had some injuries/freshmen starting, but I saw a lot of plays where Bearcat defenders were being held all over the place. The refs blew their whistles a ton in that game, but probably not enough based on what I saw.

Below are their results through yesterday, including a pasting of D1-AA Portland State yesterday. Note that they played @ Arizona State, who also played one of our opponents Oregon State yesterday.

September 8 at Washington State L 45-17
September 15 at Arizona State L 34-13 0-2 (0-0)
September 22 Portland State W 52-17

September 22 Arizona State 44, Oregon State 32
*Note that Oregon State did have them down 19-0 in the first quarter, but the Oregon State QB threw 5 interceptions to beat the total of 3 that he threw against the Bearcats.
