San Diego State Beats Boise State 17-7 in Rain to Take Sole Lead in Mountain West

The run-heavy performance puts SDSU on a clear path to hosting the conference championship.

Overview

  • Jayden Denegal scored two second-quarter rushing touchdowns, and Gabriel Plascencia added a 47-yard field goal with 10:51 left for the final margin.
  • The Aztecs improved to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the Mountain West, moving one game clear with two regular-season contests remaining.
  • SDSU leaned on the ground game for 277 rushing yards as Lucky Sutton ran 25 times for 150 yards to surpass 1,000 on the season, with Christian Washington adding 98.
  • Intermittent rain depressed turnout to 15,804 through the turnstiles despite 29,201 tickets distributed, an unusually wet night for a program that rarely sees rain at home.
  • Boise State started Max Cutforth for injured Maddux Madsen, and the Broncos’ late push ended with a missed 41-yard field goal, leaving them in a multi-team tie for second at 6-4 (4-2).
