San Diego State sees No. 16 Oregon State as yet another opportunity to topple a Pac-12 team. The Aztecs are more than 24-point underdogs against the Beavers on Saturday in Corvallis.
There has been speculation the Beavers and the Cougars might try to lure Mountain West Conference teams into a new Pac-12, or that they might merge into the MWC outright. San Diego State is among 12 teams in the Group of Five conference.
“I mean, you’re locked in on the week approach, and this week, where they’re at, where we’re at. ... I’ve got a lot of respect for them. Mountain West teams, those guys are competitive and have beaten Pac-12 teams the last three years. So that’s what we think about,” Smith said. Martinez is averaging 124.5 rushing yards per game, second in the conference. The sophomore from Texas has gone over the 100-yard mark eight times in his short career.
Finding another hotel in the area was tough, because the Oregon Ducks are also at home Saturday and Eugene is also hosting the Prefontaine Classic, an elite international track meet.
