Two plays.
That’s all it took on Saturday for San Diego State’s defense to set off fireworks of its own on the night of the fan-favorite KGB Sky Show.
After University of San Diego junior running back Jonah Hodges lost a yard on a carry, SDSU junior linebacker Calvin Munson intercepted an open-field pass and took it 19 yards for a touchdown, giving the SDSU student section an early reason to celebrate.
The Aztec defense and special teams dominated USD and carried a lackluster offense to victory against a Football Championship Subdivision school.
But when SDSU begins its Football Bowl Subdivision schedule next week against UC Berkeley, it will need serious improvements in its offense.
