Although sportsbooks in Vegas listed the Aztecs as six-point favorites, the Arizona Wildcats took control early and never gave up the lead, cruising to a 38-20 victory.
SAN DIEGO — After much excitement surrounding the grand opening of Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego State Football fell flat in its first game on its new home field.
— Ben Higgins September 3, 2022 The Wildcats had 461 total yards of offense, with quarterback Jayden de Laura throwing for 299 yards and four touchdowns. San Diego State mustered 232 yards of offense, and only 62 of them came through the air. Although the Aztecs had 170 yards rushing on the day, no ball carrier eclipsed the 40-yard mark.
A brief glimmer of hope came from the Aztecs' special teams unit halfway through the third frame. San Diego State managed to block an Arizona punt as the Wildcats were backed into their own endzone, resulting in a touchdown as the Aztecs recovered. Arizona methodically marched down the field in an 11-play, 75-yard drive that shaved off over five minutes of game time. This extended the Wildcats' lead to 18. After trading punts, a San Diego State fumble and turnover on downs for Arizona, the clock struck zero.
