San Diego State vs. BYU Live updates Score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game

The San Diego State Aztecs will be in front of their home fans this weekend, but a projected 3-point deficit forecasts there might not be much to cheer about. They will square off against the BYU Cougars at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday at SDCCU Stadium. San Diego State has a defense that allows only 13.73 points per game, so BYU's offense will have their work cut out for them.

It was close but no cigar for the Aztecs as they fell 14-11 to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors last week. The Aztecs' only touchdown came from QB Ryan Agnew.

Meanwhile, BYU ran circles around the Massachusetts Minutemen, and the extra yardage (616 yards vs. 292 yards) paid off. Everything went BYU's way against UMass as they made off with a 56-24 win. RB Jackson McChensey went supernova for BYU as he rushed for 228 yards and two TDs on 15 carries.

BYU's victory lifted them to 6-4 while San Diego State's defeat dropped them down to 8-3. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: San Diego State enters the contest having picked the ball off 13 times, good for 12th in the nation. But the Cougars are even better: they enter the game having picked the ball off 15 times, good for second in the nation. We'll see if that edge gives the Cougars a route to victory.
