SAN DIEGO – Kenny Chicoine was a redshirt freshman the last time the Cal Poly football team beat a Division I-A school.
Things have come full circle.
The senior free safety recovered a crucial fumble with 3 minutes, 2 seconds remaining, leading to Nick Coromelas’ game-winning 37-yard field goal in the Mustangs’ stunning 16-14 win over I-A San Diego State on Saturday night in front of 20,974 at Qualcomm Stadium.
There is one thing sophomore tailback James Noble hasn’t done in his already storied career at Cal Poly – play against a Division I-A school.
That will change Saturday when the Mustangs visit San Diego State at Qualcomm Stadium.
“It’s a lot of excitement, but I’m going to try to treat it as another game,” Noble said Thursday after practice.
The Mustangs will host three-game series against both former national champions Oregon State (2006) and Big West foe Cal State Fullerton (2004).
