After a 24-16 loss to BYU to open up the season, Arizona is set to host San Diego State (1-0) in Jedd Fisch's home opener. In the days leading up to the game, Fisch has made it his mission to get as many fans inside the stadium as possible, and he has been going around campus in hopes of getting a sold-out student section. As always, Matt Moreno will be updating the game thread throughout the contest, so make sure to jump on in and give your thoughts as well.
