The poster's observation about his Aztecs' defensive line getting to Costello startled me.
The Aztecs had a good team last year, but their pass rush was a decided weakness. FEI ranked its sack rate the 8th worst in the country, and its sack rate on passing downs the 10th worst.
23 sacks in total last season (in 13 games including bowl). 4 of these came against Stanford, with a yet-again-reshuffled OL and a deer-in-the-headlights-without-any-of-the-pocket-escapability-a-deer-would-have at QB. SDSU rushed 5+ on defense almost every single play. If they try that again it won't go well.
