UCLA Bruins Seek Revenge Against SDSU Aztecs After Shocking 2019 Loss

Eagerly anticipated rematch between UCLA and SDSU quarterbacks in Snapdragon Stadium

Your UCLA Bruins are gearing up for an intense showdown against the San Diego State University Aztecs, with hopes of avenging their unexpected 23-14 loss in 2019. This upcoming clash, set to take place at 4:30 p.m. PT in Snapdragon Stadium, promises to be a thrilling encounter that fans won’t want to miss.

In the century-long history of these two programs’ rather one-sided rivalry, that 2019 defeat was a historic first for UCLA. They now hold a commanding record of 21 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie against the Aztecs, with that solitary tie dating all the way back to 1924.

The burning question on everyone’s mind is which quarterback will take the helm for UCLA in this crucial matchup. Junior Ethan Garbers, who started the previous week’s triumphant 27-13 victory over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, might have an edge due to his seniority. However, 18-year-old true freshman Dante Moore put on an impressive show, outperforming Garbers with more passing yards (143 vs. 121) and touchdowns (two vs. one). The battle for the starting position is on, and it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge victorious.

Now, let’s turn our attention to player availability. Will the key players from both teams be ready for this highly anticipated rematch? The good news, according to Covers.com, is that neither UCLA nor SDSU has reported any player injuries that would prevent them from taking the field. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that both squads will be at full strength for this showdown.

As kickoff time approaches, fans have multiple options to catch the action live. CBS will broadcast the game, ensuring that fans all across the nation can tune in. If you prefer streaming, CBSSports.com and the free CBS Sports App have got you covered. Additionally, Paramount+ with Showtime will be streaming the bout, making it even more accessible to viewers.

The stage is set for an epic battle as the UCLA Bruins square off against the SDSU Aztecs, both teams hungry for victory. The quarterback duel and the absence of player injuries add even more excitement to what promises to be an unforgettable rematch. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready for a Saturday showdown that will have football fans on the edge of their seats.
