First Quarter


The opening quarter saw the Aztecs take an early lead with a touchdown that set the tone for their performance. The Dogs struggled to find momentum on offense, managing only limited yardage through both rushing and passing plays. Carson Conklin's attempts to connect with receivers were thwarted by SDSU's defense, which held strong throughout.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Fresno State continued to face difficulties moving downfield. Despite several attempts by running backs Bryson Donelson and Rayshon Luke to break through SDSU's defensive line, they were unable to secure significant gains. The Aztec Nation extended their lead with two field goals before halftime.


Third Quarter


The third quarter was marked by defensive efforts from both teams but remained scoreless as neither side could capitalize on opportunities in red zone situations. Al'zillion Hamilton made notable contributions for Fresno's defense with an interception that briefly shifted momentum but ultimately did not alter the course of play significantly.


Fourth Quarter


As time wound down in the fourth quarter, SDSU sealed their victory with another touchdown and field goal combination. The Dogs' defense showed resilience through players like Jahzon Jacks who recorded sacks; however, it wasn't enough to counteract SDSU’s offensive prowess.


In this Fresno State Bulldogs vs San Diego State Aztecs recap, it's clear that while individual performances stood out defensively for Fresno—such as Camryn Bracha forcing fumbles—the overall offensive execution fell short against a formidable opponent like SDSU.
