The San Diego State Aztecs continues to impress in the 2025 season, now riding a four-game winning streak and sitting at 5-1 overall. Under head coach Sean Lewis, the team has already eclipsed last year’s win total and is showing no signs of slowing down. With commanding victories at home and a statement road win in Reno, SDSU is emerging as a serious contender in the Mountain West Conference.
Recapping the Streak: From Shutout to Blowout
The streak began on September 20 with a 34-0 shutout of California, followed by a gritty 6-3 win at Northern Illinois and a 45-24 offensive explosion against Colorado State. But the most recent chapter came on October 11, when the Aztecs demolished Nevada 44-10 on the road.
SDSU scored in all three phases—offense, defense, and special teams—marking their most complete performance of the season. Jordan Napier opened the scoring with a 75-yard punt return touchdown, and Chris Johnson added another pick-six, his second of the season. The Aztecs built a 35-0 halftime lead, silencing the crowd at Mackay Stadium while extending their conference record to 2-0.
Standout Performers Fueling the Fire
Jayden Denegal: Efficient again, going 14-of-17 for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns, including strikes to Christian Washington and Jacob Bostick.
Jordan Napier: Added 110 receiving yards to his special teams score, continuing to be a dynamic threat.
Lucky Sutton & Christian Washington: Combined for over 125 rushing yards and a touchdown, keeping the ground game dominant.
Gabe Plascencia: Remains perfect, adding three more field goals (31, 45, and 49 yards) to extend his streak to 22 consecutive makes.
Defense: Forced two turnovers and held Nevada to just 254 total yards, with standout play from Trey White and Niles King.
What's Next: Fresno State Showdown
The Aztecs now turn their attention to October 25, when they travel to defend the Old Oil Can at Fresno State in a pivotal conference matchup. With momentum on their side and a balanced attack clicking on all cylinders, SDSU looks poised to chase a double-digit win season and a potential bowl berth.
Final Thoughts: A Bandwagon Worth Jumping On
The Aztecs' four-game winning streak isn't just about the scores—it's about the growth under Coach Lewis and the collective buy-in from the roster. From defensive shutouts to offensive explosions, SDSU has shown versatility and heart. As one local observer noted, "things are definitely looking up" with a "bandwagon waiting to be jumped on." For Aztec fans, this could be the start of something special. Will the roll continue? All signs point to yes—stay tuned.
