Summary
- CSU and SDSU to depart Mountain West after 2025 season, join Pac-12
- Norvell addresses "misconceptions" about CSU's play-calling
- Predictions for close game with SDSU winning but CSU covering the spread
With the 2025 season being the last for Colorado State and San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference, the two teams are set to face off in a crucial conference matchup on October 3rd. The game holds added significance as both schools are preparing to depart the Mountain West and join the newly rebuilt Pac-12 conference after this season.
Ahead of the game, CSU head coach Jay Norvell has addressed what he calls "misconceptions" about the team's play-calling and the role of the offensive coordinator. The Rams have faced a challenging start to the season, but Norvell is confident in his team's ability to compete against the Aztecs.
Predictions for the game suggest it will be a close affair, with San Diego State expected to emerge victorious, but Colorado State covering the spread. The Aztecs have had a mixed start to the season, but their defense has been a standout, and they will look to use that to their advantage against the Rams' offense.
As the Mountain West era comes to a close for these two programs, the October 3rd matchup promises to be an exciting and hard-fought battle as they prepare for their new chapter in the Pac-12.
