San Diego State Records Rare 23-0 Shutout Over Fresno State in Mountain West Clash

San Diego State blanked Fresno State 23-0 as Lucky Sutton rushed for 131 yards and scored on a 1-yard touchdown, with the Aztecs totaling 208 rushing yards and only 124 passing. Linebacker Tano Letuli sealed the win with a 31-yard interception return for a touchdown, part of SDSU’s nation-leading third shutout of the season — the first time the program has recorded three shutouts in a Division I season — and Dalesean Staley led the defense. The victory made the Aztecs bowl eligible and kept them undefeated in Mountain West play (3-0), setting up a key Nov. 15 matchup with Boise State. Fresno State’s offense was ineffective (227 total yards, no plays of at least 15 yards, multiple punts), and Carson Conklin’s second interception was returned for a touchdown as the Bulldogs’ quarterbacking and running-game issues leave them facing a must-improve trip to Boise State. It was the first time Fresno State had been held scoreless at Valley Children’s Stadium, underscoring SDSU’s dominance in all three phases of the game.
