Fresno State committed an early turnover and San Diego State converted it into points, with John Baron’s field goal giving the Aztecs a 3-0 lead after the first quarter of Friday night’s game at Bulldog Stadium.
San Diego State took advantage of good field position after Damontae Kazee’s interception of a Chason Virgil pass at the Fresno State 46. The Aztecs (4-1, 1-0 Mountain West) managed just 17 yards in six plays before Baron nailed a 47-yarder. Nela Otukolo and Tobenna Okeke teamed for a sack on third-and-5 from the Bulldogs 28.
Fresno State’s opening drive came to a quick end.
