San Diego State Shuts Out Fresno State 23-0 Ending 45-Year Home Scoring Streak

Fresno State suffered a significant 23-0 home defeat to San Diego State, marking the first time in 45 years they were shut out at home and the first scoreless game ever at Valley Children's Stadium. Head coach Matt Entz made the notable decision to bench senior quarterback E.J. Warner, who had thrown nine interceptions, in favor of sophomore Carson Conklin, but the change did not improve the offense, which struggled throughout the game, failing to reach the red zone until the final minutes. Conklin completed 20 of 42 passes for 182 yards with two interceptions, including a pick-six that sealed the loss. Fresno State's offense was unable to generate significant yardage or big plays, with few runs over 10 yards and passes over 15 yards, while the defense held strong but was eventually overwhelmed. Entz emphasized the need for better leadership and execution, acknowledging the team is not performing to its potential despite hard work in practice. Although the loss diminishes Fresno State's Mountain West Conference title hopes, the team aims to achieve bowl eligibility and possibly a 10-win season if they can improve in upcoming games.
