San Diego State football and Wyoming by the numbers

In this story:
San Diego State (6-1, 3-0 Mountain West) looks to run its winning streak to six games when it hosts Wyoming (4-4, 2-2) in its Homecoming game Saturday at 4 p.m. Pacific time at Snapdragon Stadium. The game will air on CBS Sports Network.
The Aztecs are enjoying a resurgence in Sean Lewis’ second season as head coach. They’re bowl eligible for the first time since 2022 after winning 23-0 at Fresno State on Saturday. It was their third shutout this season.
After winning just three games last year, the Aztecs are off to their start since starting 7-0 in 2021, when they had their best finish at 12-2.
San Diego State and Wyoming will meet for the 40th time, with the Aztecs leading the series 20-19. Ten of the last 16 games have been decided by five points or less, with the last four meetings decided by a total of 11 points.
Wyoming will make its first — and presumably last — appearance at Snapdragon Stadium since it opened in 2022. The Cowboys haven’t played in San Diego since 2019, when they lost 26-22 to the Aztecs at Qualcomm Stadium.
Wyoming is one of the teams that will remain behind the Mountain West while SDSU, Fresno State, Boise State and Colorado State move to the new-look Pac-12 next year. Those five teams will join holdovers Oregon State and Washington State, and newcomers Texas State in football and basketball, and Gonzaga in hoops.
