Lowered expectations seem to be a constant thread running through these two teams' rosters and coaching staff right now. Both of these teams have seriously failed to reach pre-season potential. The Aztecs have only one win since the beginning of September in what many say is one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory. The Aztecs (3-6), (1-4 MWC) are 4 point underdogs on the road against a Colorado State team (3-6), (1-4 MWC) that is on a three-game losing streak. They leave no rope left to hang themselves as they face a Rams team, that, find themselves in a similar loser no-bowl game situation. The Aztecs continue along their Shakespearean storyline of drama and tragedy following their recent disappointing loss to Utah State.
