Quarterback Jalen Mayden has continued to struggle to put up big numbers, but he is the player that opponents key on. They are #114 in passing offense at 170.5 yards a game and rank #112 in total offense with 317.5 yards per game. Lack of execution, lack of imagination and extreme inconsistency in plays are leading the Aztecs to national-level lows. Coach Brady Hoke and staff, especially offensive coordinator Ryan Lindley, are under an increasingly magnification microscope for their leadership, play-calling, and results. Needing three wins to be bowl-eligible looks to be an insurmountable proposition for a team that really has not found its mark all season. Much went wrong with the Nevada loss the Aztecs look to be underdogs the rest of the season. Lowered expectations seem to be a constant thread running through these two teams' rosters and coaching staff right now. Both of these teams have seriously failed to reach pre-season potential. The Aztecs have only one win since the beginning of September in what many say is one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory. The Aztecs (3-6), (1-4 MWC) are 4 point underdogs on the road against a Colorado State team (3-6), (1-4 MWC) that is on a three-game losing streak.

They leave no rope left to hang themselves as they face a Rams team, that, find themselves in a similar loser no-bowl game situation. The Aztecs continue along their Shakespearean storyline of drama and tragedy following their recent disappointing loss to Utah State.
