San Diego State is hoping to avoid an upset loss when they take on N.C. State in the early game on Friday.

Here is a preview done on San Diego State over at Backing The Pack which is SB Nation's N.C. State site, so go check that out.

Hopefully SDSU can move on and the Mountain West gets two teams playing this weekend.
