In an early-season NDL shootout, the San Diego State Aztecs overwhelmed the Oregon State Beavers 52-31 behind a dominant ground game and explosive plays.
Marquez Cooper led the charge with 14 carries for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Kenan Christon added 119 yards and a score on just 8 carries. SDSU's air attack was just as dangerous—Ja'Shaun Poke hauled in 4 catches for 123 yards and 2 touchdowns, torching the Beavers' secondary.
Oregon State put up a fight behind QB Gevani McCoy’s 313 passing yards and 2 scores, including a 117-yard, 2-TD day from Trent Walker, but the Aztecs’ relentless offense proved too much.
SDSU moves to 1-1, making a strong early statement in the NDL season.
