San Diego State Aztecs
The problem with starting 6–0 is that winning becomes the expectation and whenever you lose, there’s greater disappointment. That is what San Diego State players are experiencing these days.
The Aztecs lost for the second straight week after starting the season with six consecutive wins and ascending to no. 19 in the national poll. Last week’s loss, at home to Fresno State, 27–3, was an especially ugly site. The loss dropped SDSU to 2–2 in the Mountain West two games back of the Bulldogs.

Even the loss the week before was a bad one, by 17 points to Boise State, again in San Diego. Now, the Aztecs must try to solve the problems they are experiencing on the road, over the Pacific Ocean on the small island paradise of Hawaii.

Starting QB Christian Chapman is at least doing a good job of not turning the ball over. He hasn’t thrown a pick since he tossed one in a Week 1 win. Still, 77 yards passing last week is not going to get anything done, regardless of the interception numbers.
He’s gone just 22-for-47 over the last two weeks but should find more space against a Hawaii defense that isn’t always air tight.
Hawaii Rainbow Warriors
The Rainbow Warriors gave up 26 points in a a win over a bad San Jose State team at home. It was Hawaii’s first win in the conference after an 0–3 start, but SJSU is 0–4.
Dru Brown completed 12 of his 23 passes for 173 yards and a touchdown. Cole McDonald also threw a four-yard touchdown pass on a trick play for Hawaii.

That was a light game for Brown, who has over 1800 yards through the air this season. He completes just under two-thirds of his passes but has thrown seven interceptions to just 13 TDs.
The running game really did the job last week, though. Diocemy Saint Juste carried the rock 39 times and exceeded 200 yards for the third time this season and second week in a row. Those numbers were enough to put him over 1000 yards on the season and two touchdown runs gave him six on the season.
Hawaii can move the ball, no doubt. But can they play enough defense to stop San Diego State? This game will come down to whatever side commits more to the defensive end. Hawaii usually isn’t the team to do that.

Free Week 9 NCAA Football Pick
Listen, I like San Diego State to win this game on the road but 9.5 points feels like a lot for a team struggling like SDSU is, now going on the road. I’ll take the home points.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Hawaii +9.5
This game should be relatively low-scoring as Hawaii games go. That’s why the points should be more valuable than usual.
