Last week, San Diego State football was distraught they gave up six points and 186 yards in the victory over UNLV last Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Yes, just six points.
It was the fewest points allowed in a conference game since 2016 when SDSU shut out Hawaii 52-0.
The team’s goal is to give up no points and no yards.
First-year defensive coordinator Kurt Mattix said having the mentality to shut out its opponents weekly is due to the foundation of a strong defense dating back to head coach Brady Hoke’s first go-around at the helm.
