San Diego State Aztecs Secure Victory at Rose Bowl Against UCLA Bruins in College Football Showdown

In a game that saw the San Diego State Aztecs emerge victorious over the UCLA Bruins, both teams displayed formidable efforts on the turf of Pasadena's Rose Bowl. The final score stood at 23-14, with the Aztecs improving their record to 2-0 and handing the Bruins a 1-1 standing.

The San Diego State Aztecs demonstrated a balanced offensive attack against their opponents. The passing game was particularly effective, with an impressive completion rate of 74 percent for a total of 293 yards through the air. This included a notable touchdown pass that covered 34 yards, contributing significantly to their overall yardage. The quarterback's performance was commendable, achieving an outstanding passer rating of approximately 164.

On the ground, however, it was more challenging for the Aztecs as they managed only an average of roughly two yards per carry from their 47 attempts. Despite this struggle in rushing efficiency, they still found success with one rushing touchdown and four first downs gained via runs.

Special teams also played a crucial role in this game; three successful field goals were made by the Aztecs out of four attempts with one reaching as far as 43 yards. Their kicking unit ensured that five out of six kickoffs resulted in touchbacks.

Defensively, San Diego State showed tenacity by recording three sacks and forcing three fumbles throughout the contest—two of which they recovered themselves—further stifling any momentum from UCLA's offense.

The red zone efficiency for San Diego State stood out remarkably well; they capitalized on three out of four opportunities when within striking distance. This level-headed execution under pressure underscored their ability to finish drives when it mattered most.
