San Diego State defense keys win, collecting four turnovers in 14-10 Mountain West win over visiting Rebels
After a heartbreaking last-minute loss a week ago, San Diego State head coach Brady Hoke implored SDSU players to finish what they start.
SDSU managed a 7-0 halftime lead on a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Mayden to wide receiver Jesse Matthews with 9:16 remaining in the second quarter. The Aztecs defense frustrated UNLV throughout the first half. Eight Rebels drives ended thusly: punt, punt, punt, punt, fumble, punt, fumble, punt.
UNLV paid particularly attention to the Aztecs’ playmaker on the next play, when Mayden faked a handoff to Matthews on an end around to the right side. The Aztecs were unable to take advantage of Branch’s interception early in the fourth quarter, lining up to kick the ball back to the Rebels when the following drive stalled.That gave UNLV the ball at the SDSU 14-yard line. SDSU’s defense kept the Rebels out of the end zone, so they settled for a 29-yard field goal that trimmed the Aztecs’ lead to 14-10 with 10:40 remaining in the game.
