San Diego State had everything going for it six minutes into Saturday night’s game at Washington State.
The Aztecs’ offense produced an early touchdown, with quarterback Jayden Denegal finding wide receiver Jacob Bostick wide open for a 35-yard score, while the Aztecs defense forced Washington State to go three-and-out the first two times it touched the ball.
Things took a turn, a drastic turn, thereafter. SDSU’s offense went AWOL. And its defense suddenly had trouble tackling, surrendered big plays and watched the confident Cougars come alive.
The result was 29 unanswered points allowed by the Aztecs in a 36-13 loss before an announced crowd of 24,330 at Washington State’s Martin Stadium.
SDSU (1-1) now gets a week off before resuming the season Sept. 20 at Snapdragon Stadium against
