In 2001, Ken Simonton arrived in Fresno as one of the nation’s leading Heisman candidates.
He left with a 44–24 loss, just 42 yards on 15 carries (his lowest total in 17 games), and a Heisman campaign that never recovered.
From 2013 to 2022, the Mountain West awarded 9 West Division titles (none in 2020). 8 of the 9 West Division titles were won by either Fresno State or San Diego State.
Fresno State won 5.
(2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2022)

In 1992, Fresno State marched into Jack Murphy Stadium and stole a 45–41 victory against SDSU in its first season in the WAC.
• Trent Dilfer: 268 passing yards, 2 TDs
• Ron Rivers: 173 rushing yards, 2 TDs
• Marshall Faulk exited early with a knee injury.
With just 14 seconds left, Dilfer connected with Tydus Winans for the game-winner, ripping the hearts out of the Aztecs and burying their Holiday Bowl hopes.
In 1960, Fresno State crushed San Diego State 60–0, extending its winning streak over the Aztecs to eight games.
Dale Messer scored four touchdowns as the Bulldogs finished 9–1, went undefeated in conference play, and won the CCAA championship.
SDSU finished 1–6–1 and replaced Paul Governali with Don Coryell. From 1961–72, Coryell went 104–19–2 and restored the program.
