BYU’s defense atoned for giving up 43 points to San Jose State the week before by holding San Diego State scorelessin a 13-0 win at Cougar Stadium.

The Cougars held the Aztecs to record lows in total offense (122 yards) and it was the first time SDSU hadn’t scored in 146 games — a 28-0 loss to BYU in 1985.
