The 1945 San Diego State Aztecs football team represented San Diego State College—now known as San Diego State University—as an independent during the 1945 college football season. San Diego State had been a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) in 1941, but the conference suspended operating during World War II.[1] The Aztecs did not field a team in 1943 and 1944 due to the war. Led by John Eubank in his first and only season as head coach, the Aztecs compiled a record of 2–5 and were outscored by opponents 163 to 65 on the season. The team played home games at Balboa Stadium in San Diego.
