Team History

The San Diego State Aztecs are a Division I FBS football team based in San Diego, California. Initially founded in 1921, San Diego State has an overall record of 566–427–32. Despite moderate success in the first three decades of the program, the Aztecs started to develop under Head Coach Don Coryell, who eventually rose to the ranks of college football and the National Football League for his innovative pass offenses, which are still largely seen in today’s games. San Diego State won three consecutive NCAA Division II National Championships, along with pulling off undefeated seasons in 1966, 1968 and 1969.

 

Throughout the last three decades, San Diego State has been an average program in the Mountain West Conference. The Aztecs have made 19 bowl appearances in program history, with an overall record of 10-9 and a streak of 11 bowl appearances over the last 12 seasons, only missing out in 2020 due to a shortened season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

What Is San Diego State’s Nickname?

The Aztecs. It was chosen in 1925 after open suggestions were submitted to the San Diego State school newspaper, the Paper Lantern. Student leaders chose “Aztecs” over several other names because of the imagery tied to that part of the southern California area. There has been some controversy behind it, because some feel it should fall under the Native American nickname ban that the NCAA instituted in 2005. However, the Aztec civilization, which has ceased to exist since the late 16th century, was never part of the United States; it was in Mexico at that time.
