On November 12, 2025, San Diego State University's football team secured a crucial victory over Boise State in a Mountain West Conference showdown. The Aztecs defeated the Broncos by a score of 17-7, thanks to a dominant defensive performance and two rushing touchdowns from quarterback Jayden Denegal.

The game was a closely contested affair, with the score tied at 7-7 at halftime. However, Denegal's 8-yard touchdown run with just 70 seconds left in the second quarter gave the Aztecs a 14-7 lead heading into the break. In the second half, the San Diego State defense took over, holding Boise State scoreless and allowing only a 47-yard field goal by Gabriel Plascencia to seal the victory.

The Aztecs' defense was the key to the victory, limiting the Broncos' offense and allowing just 7 points. Running back Lucky Sutton also had a strong game for San Diego State, rushing for 150 yards on 25 carries.
