SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Weber State Wildcats began the 2019 season with an impressive performance. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough in their 6-0 loss to the San Diego State Aztecs.
The night got off to a great start for the Wildcats with a sack by Jared Schiess on the second play for the Aztecs. Both teams exchanged punts until the midway point of the second quarter with San Diego State converted on a 34-yard field goal by Matt Araiza with 4:41 left in the opening half.
The second field and final field goal of the game came from 29-yards out with 10:51 remaining in the game.
Even though Weber State had a great defensive performance, so did San Diego State.
The Wildcats had 154 yards of total offense compared to the Aztecs’ 238 yards.
Tough one.
Wildcats fall 6-0 at San Diego State.
