San Diego State University improved to 4-1 on the season with last Friday’s 45-24 win over the Colorado State Rams at Snapdragon Stadium. The four wins already better the three wins posted by Aztec head coach Sean Lewis in his first year at the helm last year.
SDSU had two rushers each gain more than 100 yards in a game since Sept. 14, 2019, as juniors Byron Cardwell Jr. (Morse) and Lucky Sutton (Cathedral Catholic) stretched the chairs for 129 and 113 yards, respectively.
Sutton, who had 21 carries, scored two touchdowns while Cardwell (15 carries) scored once.
Junior Christian Washington (Helix) had eight carries for 28 yards and scored one touchdown — the second this season and seventh of his career.
Sophomore Jordan Napier reeled in five passes for a career high 153 receiving yards while senior Gabe Plascencia booted a career long 53-yard field goal.
Plascencia has now made 19 consecutive field goals to set a program record.
The Aztecs next play at Nevada (0-1, 1-4) on Saturday. The four wins by SDSU are two shy of becoming bowl eligible.
The Rams dropped to 0-1, 1-4.
