It’s time to grab some hard-hitting college football action with tickets to see the San Diego State University Aztecs hustle and tackle live on the field. The Aztecs have been undergoing some extremely rigorous spring practice sessions and fans can be sure of some bone-crunching plays this season as well as some high-flying offensive action as well.

The San Diego State University Aztecs football team is affiliated with the athletics program of San Diego State University. Its colors are scarlet and black and its mascot is an Aztec warrior known as Monty- Montezuma. The team plays in the Qualcomm Stadium, often referred to as The Q. The stadium was originally called the Jack Murphy Stadium.

Perhaps one of the best things that Aztec football is known for is the number of professional NFL stars they have produced. The list of recent Aztec players includes names like Isaac Curtis, Marshall Faulk and Brian Snipe. There have also been a number of exemplary NFL coaches who are former Aztec players and these include John Fox, Joe Gibbs, Ted Tollner, John Madden, Herman Edwards and Don Coryell.

The Aztecs are looking to upgrade their team tactics and methods and Coach Chuck Long has been doing just that. A former quarterback who played for the NFL, many expected Long would focus on passing the ball and throws. Much to everyone's surprise, Long did just the opposite and began a torturous practice regime of run and play. The results were so mind-boggling that the local press began referring to the spring drills as Camp Smash-Mouth and Camp Contusion.

So what exactly is on Coach Long's mind? He explains that toughness is one of the most important elements of football and that toughness comes from pounding the ball. Football is not just about lobbing the ball long and hard- it's also about being merciless on the ground, tackling and tumbling hard to make sure the other team can't even move an inch without having you in its face. No doubt with this kind of regime in place, fans can expect some lean and mean football action from the Aztecs. They can also look forward to some memorable plays as the team has sure learned some lessons from these spring drills.

Casualty list? Twenty injuries to the 89 man roster but the team is taking it all in its stride, maintaining that the tackles are one of the most important aspects of football. No doubt the Aztecs will probably be one of the toughest teams out on the field this season.
