History
Initial history (1921-1935)
San Diego State University was originally two separate schools. San Diego Normal School has white and gold school colors. San Diego Junior College has blue and gold school colors. They decided to merge schools in 1921 to form San Diego State College. SDSC's first school colors were blue, white and gold. During the 1921 school year they had their first soccer game. The central athletic figure in San Diego State at the time was Charles E. Peterson. He was originally appointed in 1916 as a physical education instructor. After serving in World War I, President Hardy won over him to return and oversee the school's athletic program. Initially, Peterson taught all the men's physical education classes and trained all the teams between the colleges. After the athletics team was founded in 1921, the media referred to the team as "Staters" or "professors". School papers tried to encourage "Wampus Cats" during their coverage of the academic year 1923-24. In the fall of 1924, the Director of Athletic C.E. Peterson urged students to choose a nickname and school newspaper, The Paper Lantern, inviting suggestions. Over the next few issues, names such as Panthers, Balboans and Thoroughbreds are suggested and submitted to the committee of Dean Al Peterson, C.E. Peterson and a student. In 1925, the student leaders chose the nickname "Aztec" on other suggestions such as "Balboans". They felt that his terminology was more representative of the southwestern image and his election met without dissent. In February 1925, President Hardy gave his official approval to the nickname "Aztec" and the team adopted that identity within a week.
Purple and gold were adopted for the 1922-23 term but this is a problem because it is the same color as St Augustine High School. It did not go well when one could not distinguish between an Aztec sweater letter and a high school sweater. Also, purple and gold were the colors of Whittier College, a fierce conference rival at the time. Not to mention the fact that the Aztec merchandise manufacturers of that era refused to guarantee the San Diego State's purple color fastness. President of Associated Students Terrence Geddis led the movement for change and, after encouraging the color review of the school, the students finally got a chance to vote on the issue in December 1927. It was followed by two days of voting the following month in which students decided between Scarlet and Black and the previous color, Purple and Gold. On January 19, 1928 the tally was 346-201 in favor of Scarlet and Black and it has remained that ever since.
Small lecture era (1936-1968)
Don Coryell Impact
Don Coryell became head coach of SDSC in 1961, while at the California Collegiate Athletics Association. He led the Aztecs to two "unbeaten college" seasons in 1966 and 1968 and from the College Division (now Division II & III) to the University Division (Division I FBS) in 1969.
The Era of Pacific Coast Athletics Association (1969-1977)
San Diego State is a charter member of the Pacific Coast Athletics Association, founded on 1 July 1969.
Don Coryell continues inheritance
Coryell trained a total of 12 seasons with the Aztecs, using the philosophy of recruiting only junior college players. There, he compiled a record 104 wins, 19 losses and 2 ties including a total of three unbeaten seasons in 1966, 1968, and 1969. His team have won 37 and 25 matches, and won three bowl matches during his tenure. It was on the SDSC that Coryell began to emphasize the offense and he told us, "We can only recruit a limited number of runners and liners against schools like USC and UCLA, and there are many children in southern California who pass by and catch the ball." There seems to be quarterback inventory and receivers deeper. And passing games are also open to some new ideas. Coryell added: "Eventually we decided we could win the game by throwing the ball without the best personnel so we threw the ball and won some games.When we started doing that we were like 55-5-1 John Madden served as Coryell's defensive assistant at SDSC Madden first met Coryell attending a coaching clinic in Formation I led by McKay "We're going to these clinics, and afterwards, everyone will run to talk to McKay," Madden said. "Coryell is there because he introduced (McKay). I was thinking, 'If (McKay) learn from it, I'll talk to (Coryell).' In San Diego State, Coryell helped develop a number of quarterbacks for the NFL, including Don Horn, Jesse Freitas, Dennis Shaw, and future NFL MVP Brian Sipe, wide receivers continuing to the NFL including Isaac Curtis, Gary Garrison and Haven Moses Coryell also training two players who later became actors: Fred Dryer and Carl Weathers. After the 1972 season, he moved to the NFL and became head coach of St. Louis Cardinals. Western Athletic_Conference_era_ (1978-1999) "> Western Athletic Conference Era (1978-1999)
The Big 80's
During the 1980s in San Diego State, the Aztecs were led by Todd Santos quarterbacks and Dan McGwire, who later became the highest quarterback in NFL history (in 1991). The Aztec won the WAC Championship in 1986 and played home at the Holiday Bowl against Iowa, but lost by a point 39-38. In 1990, the team played Miami in a match that featured violent clashes and near epic woes.
The Impact of Marshall Faulk
Faulk received an athletic scholarship to attend San Diego State, and played back for the Aztecs. In one of his most productive performances throughout his career, he ran across the University of the Pacific in just his second college match on September 15, 1991. In 37 exercises he collected 386 yards and scored seven goals, two notes for new students (386 yards later NCAA). "Faulk scored 61, 7, 47, 9, 5, 8, and 25 yards." The performance sparked one of the best new seasons in the history of the NCAA, earning 1,429 yards rushing, with a total of 23 touchdowns (21 rushing), and 140 points printed. Faulk went on to a better 1,600-meter rush in the second year. In Faulk's junior season in 1993, he was finally able to show his ability for all goals by capturing 47 bait for 640 yards and 3 goals to go with 1,530 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground. These figures place the 3rd Faulk in the country in the yardage's all-purpose year, and 2 in the assessment.
Faulk left San Diego State with many offensive school records, among which 5,562 multi-purpose yards and 62 career touchdowns, which is the 8th in NCAA history. After the 1992 season at SDSU, Faulk took second place in the Heisman Cup award, losing to quarterback Gino Torretta in what is considered an important insult in award history. Torretta Miami Hurricanes has returned unbeaten in regular season and ranked No. 1. 1 in the country before Heisman picked up the vote, the Faulk team finished with a decent 5-5-1 record, continuing the Heisman trend of going to the most famous player in one of the best teams in the country. He was a Heisman finalist also in 1991 (9) and 1993 (fourth). With a year of remaining eligibility, Faulk announced for the NFL draft and was the second overall selection in April 1994.
West Mountain Conference Era (2000-present)
In 2000, San Diego State became a charter member of the Western Mountain Conference.
Brady Hoke Ownership
In December 2008, Hoke was hired as the 17th football head coach at San Diego State University. Hoke signed a five-year contract with a guaranteed $ 3.525 million payment, plus an incentive to achieve revenue and berths. San Diego State is also required to pay $ 240,000 to buy the remaining two years on a Hoke contract at Ball State. San Diego State set a 2-10 year mark before Hoke arrived. In 2009, Hoke led the Aztec to a 4-8 record. During the 2010 season, Hoke team increased to 9-4. Two of Aztecs' losses in 2010 came in close matches against the opposing ranks. Aztec gave the unbeaten TCU # 2 team, its closest match in the regular season, losing by a score of 40-35. Tim Hoke also lost in a close match against No. 1. 12 Missouri with a score of 27-24. The team concluded the season with a convincing 35-14 victory over the Navy in the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl. Prior to the 2010 season, San Diego State had not won nine games in a season since 1977 when they won 10-1 in 16th place at API and had not played in a bowl since the 1998 team lost at the Las Vegas Bowl. After the 2010 season, a reporter for the Orange County Register wrote that Hoke had given San Diego State "arrogance."
Rocky Long Ownership
After Hoke received head coaching work in Michigan's defensive coordinator, Rocky Long was immediately named the new head coach. Rocky Long served as New Mexico's 1998-2008 head coach where he compiled 65 wins and 5 bowl matches in 10 years. During his first five years as Aztec chief trainer (2011-2015) he has led the Aztec to 5 consecutive bowl matches and won the first MW title at San Diego State in 2012 (together), followed by a direct MW Championship in 2015. As of January 1, 2016, he has an overall record of 43-23 as Aztec chief coach with a record conference of 30-9. By 2015, San Diego State won an 11-3 record under Long, culminating with an impressive 42-7 victory over Cincinnati.

Stadium
Stadium Balboa (1921-1935)
The Aztecs (formerly "Staters") started playing football when SDSU was still known as the San Diego Normal School and then San Diego State Teacher's College, and is located on Park Boulevard at University Heights. During this period, the soccer team is called Balboa Stadium home (formerly "City Stadium"). At that time, the seating capacity for the Balboa Stadium was 15,000. It was later expanded to 34,000 capacity and served as a home stadium for the San Diego Chargers of the American Football League (AFL) from 1961 to 1966.
Aztec_Bowl_.281935.E2.80.931966.29 "> Aztec Bowl (1935-1966)
After the University was moved from University Heights to its current location in 1931, the accommodation was made on a new campus for a soccer stadium to be built starting in 1933. The Aztecs played their home games on the Aztec Bowl on campus for 30 years. the period between 1936 and 1966. By the time of its completion in 1936, the Aztec Bowl could accommodate 7,500 fans and was the only state college stadium in California. The capacity of the stadium was then extended to a seating capacity of 12,592 fans in 1948. Given the growth of the campus and its fan base, Aztec found themselves needing a bigger place. Rather than continuing with the previously proposed expansion for 45,000 seats, Aztec fans had to settle for this facility until 1966. During this final year at the Aztec Bowl, the Aztec won their first of three consecutive national "Championships" (Division II) national championships. About 80% of the Aztec Bowl was covered up (not demolished) in 1996 to make way for the Viejas Arena in the Aztec Bowl (formerly Cox Arena), the current home of the men's basketball and the San Diego State Aztecs women's basketball team. Previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a portion of the Aztec Bowl remains visible on the northern side of Viejas Arena.
SDCCU Stadium (1967-present)
Since its founding in 1967, SDCCU Stadium has become the home of Aztecs football of San Diego State University. The SDCCU Stadium (formerly San Diego Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, and Qualcomm Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium located in the Mission Valley area of ​​San Diego, about 5 miles from the campus. Campus and stadium have been linked by Trolley San Diego since 2005.
The SDCCU Stadium has also been home to the NFL San Diego Chargers from 1967 to 2016, and also hosted San Diego Padres from 1969-2003. It also hosts the Holiday Bowl and hosts the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl football game every December. The stadium has hosted three Super Bowl games, two Major League Baseball All-Star games, and two World Series. It is the only stadium ever to host both the Super Bowl and the World Series in the same year (1998).
Playing at a professional sports facility provides several benefits including increased concessions, luxury suites, "jumbo-tron" screens and other facilities for Aztec fans. However, the increase in stadium capacity (from 52,596 in 1967 to 70,561 in 2015) has created a mismatch for an college football program that attracts an average of 29,065 fans for home games by 2015 - during the 11-3 MW Championship season, which is a their best performances since joining Division I in 1969. Even the best matches provide a warm fan experience in a filled facility of up to only 40% of capacity. The Aztecs now clipped a significant part of the upper seat bowl for their game, creating a reduced capacity of 54,000.
Mission Valley Campus (proposed)
By 2015, San Diego Entrepreneurs are stepping up their efforts to move to Los Angeles, pending a vote by the National Football League owner and a partnership with Oakland Raiders or St. Louis Rams. In the face of this development, contingency plans have been generated for future use of the current SDCCU Stadium site in Mission Valley. A proposal submitted by the Marty State Senator is for San Diego State to take over the use of the site to expand the campus and also provides a new multi-use 40,000 seater stadium for Aztec football and Premier League Football teams. On January 13, 2016, the Filler obtained approval by the NFL to join the Rams in a move to Los Angeles. On 12 January 2017, Chargers announced that they will move to Los Angeles for the 2017 season. There is no current decision regarding the future of SDCCU Stadium in Mission Valley, or an agreement has been approved for San Diego State to take over the site to expand the campus or build a stadium new football.

Tradition
Night games
Night games have become a soccer tradition of San Diego State University. The first SDSU night game was played on September 25, 1930 at Lane Field. Over 5,000 fans attended the match to watch the Aztec defeat the San Diego Marines 39-0. Since that day, more than 75% of all Aztec games, home and away, have been played at night.
Montezuma
The first Aztec Warrior-related warrior university originally appeared on San Diego State athletic events for the past six decades. Art Munzig played an original role in a comedy drama during a break at the San Diego State-Pomona soccer game that started the football season of 1941. The Rally's school committee came up with an idea based on the Aztec royal authorities in the early 1500s, Moctezuma II. The character, known as "Monty" for the generation of SDSU alumni, evolved over the years to become a symbol of the San Diego State athletic team.
For decades, most of the roles were filled by students, who inspired the spirit of enthusiasm and the spirit of school during soccer and basketball games. In 1983, however, Athletics Director Mary Hill directed Montezuma to adopt a more dignified personality. During the football season, Monty sits on a pyramid among his attendants on the sidelines at Jack Murphy Stadium. It lasts a year. The following season Moctezuma continued his more traditional role of involvement and encouragement of Aztec football fans.
Beginning in 2000, several student groups began proposing that the university change its Aztec identity. The new mascot made its first public appearance on February 23, 2004 to reveal some modified costumes and moniker changes, "Aztec Warrior." For all except a few years from the early 1990s to 2006, Carlos Gutierrez took over the role of the mascot, enhancing the position profile and expanding public appearances throughout the San Diego community. In April 2006, the SDSU Alumni Association sponsored a student audition for a new Aztec Soldier.

Fresno State: Battle for Can Oil
No opponents have a wider history of SDSU. The Fresno State-San Diego State competition, also known as the Battle for Oil Can, dates back to 1923 when both teams competed in the SCJCC. The Aztec won an initial 12-2 meeting at home. Since then, the parties have met 51 more times, including each year from 1945-1979, when both compete in the same or independent conference. After not dealing with each other between 1979-1991, the schools continued the annual series from 1992-98, when both were members of the Western Athletic Conference. Both teams have met twice since then, in 2002 and 2011. With Fresno State joining the Western Mountain Conference in 2012 and the addition of the division format, the Aztec and Bulldog will compete once again on an annual basis. One of the most memorable games between the two schools was known as "The Fog Bowl" in 1962. The fog was so thick that the Aztec radio broadcaster at the time of Al Couppee could not see the drama, so he took to the field and into the huddle to give play-by- play. The Aztec won the game 29-26 in a thrilling way. Both schools began competing in 2011 for the Can Oil trophy. Oil Can trophies derived from the 1930s oil can come from Fresno which was found at a construction site in San Diego State. "Oil is likely to come from a time when Aztec and Bulldog fans travel to football games between two schools through the old, winding, steep section of Highway 99 through Tejon Pass," said Jacquelyn K. Glasener, executive director of Fresno State Alumni Association. "The cars of that era brought extra oil and water to make sure they could get through a difficult journey," added Jim Herrick, executive director of the San Diego State Alumni Association. This game is dubbed by fans of Battle for the Oil Can. The first trophy game was played in 2011. The Aztecs were favored but they found themselves trailing 21-0 in the first half. They fought back by scoring four unanswered goals to win 35-28, with Ronnie Hillman scoring before the game in the fourth quarter to win the game. The Aztec ended the season with an 8-4 record and made it to the New Orleans Bowl and the Bulldogs ended the season 4-8. San Diego State led the all-time series with a 27-22-4 record, including a 14-11-2 mark in San Diego, Fresno State leading the 3-2 series trophy. In 2016, this series is bound. Fresno State assumed a 4-2 lead in the trophy series with their 27-3 victory over Aztec on 21 October 2017 at SDCCU (formerly Qualcomm) Stadium.
Fresno United leads the 29-24-4 series on 21 October 2017.
