Aztecs’ Bowl Eligibility Hopes Dashed with 41-20 Loss to UNLV – San Diego Union-Tribune

San Diego State University (SDSU) quarterback Danny O’Neil faced a tough challenge from UNLV’s defense in a recent game. The Rebels intercepted O’Neil twice and went on to defeat SDSU 41-20, ending the Aztecs’ hopes of reaching a bowl game this season. SDSU coach Sean Lewis acknowledged missed opportunities and emphasized the need for improvement in the remaining games. Despite a touchdown from O’Neil to Louis Brown IV and Marquez Cooper achieving his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season, SDSU struggled to keep up with UNLV’s offense. UNLV’s quarterback, Hajj-Malik Williams, showcased his skills with multiple touchdowns, leading his team to a dominant victory. SDSU’s defense showed some resilience, but ultimately it was not enough to overcome UNLV’s strong performance. SDSU now aims to finish the season strong and improve on last year’s 4-8 record, facing challenges from upcoming opponents Utah State and Air Force. Despite injuries to key players and a significant difference in total offense, SDSU remains determined to make the most of the remaining games and show character as a team.
