BREAKING: The San Diego State Aztecs achieved a stunning 25-3 victory over the San Jose State Spartans on November 22, 2025, solidifying their perfect home record of 6-0 at Snapdragon Stadium this season. This emphatic win places the Aztecs in a prime position to capture the Mountain West Conference title.
The game kicked off with immediate intensity as Aztecs safety Dwayne McDougle intercepted Spartans quarterback Walker Eget on just the third play, returning the ball 25 yards to set up an early touchdown. Running back Lucky Sutton, a local favorite, scored on a one-yard rush, giving SDSU an early lead.
In a surprising move, the Aztecs opted for a two-point conversion, successfully executed by senior special teams star DJ Herman, connecting with fellow senior Brady Anderson. This bold decision pushed the score to 8-0 after just a few minutes of play.
Aztecs kicker Gabriel Plascencia extended the lead with a 35-yard field goal, ending the first quarter at 11-0. The Spartans managed to respond with a 37-yard field goal from Mathias Brown, narrowing the score to 11-3 early in the second quarter.
However, SDSU quickly regained control. With less than a minute remaining in the first half, quarterback Jayden Denegal rushed for another touchdown, bringing the halftime score to 18-3. Denegal completed 7 of 11 passes for 79 yards and showcased his dual-threat capabilities.
The Aztecs sealed their victory with a final touchdown from running back Chris Washington, who crossed the goal line from the eight-yard line, making the score 25-3. Washington expressed his gratitude, stating, “Tonight meant a lot, I’ve been here all four years.”
With this victory, San Diego State has won eight of their last nine games, demonstrating their dominance in the Mountain West. This match also served as a farewell to the seniors, with head coach Sean Lewis praising their hard work and commitment.
Looking ahead, the Aztecs will face the New Mexico Lobos on the road at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, airing on CBS Sports Network. New Mexico is currently on a five-game winning streak and has an overall record of 8-3, presenting a formidable challenge as the Aztecs aim for a spot in the Mountain West Championship game on December 5.
This game was particularly significant as it may be the last matchup between SDSU and San Jose State as members of the Mountain West Conference; SDSU will transition to the Pac-12 next season. The Aztecs aim to leave a lasting legacy in the Mountain West with their impressive performance.
Stay tuned for updates as the Aztecs prepare for their crucial final game of the season.
