Bulls get three stops on Aztecs a yard from first down. Bulls take over at own 21.

The Aztec defense has held Buffalo to 19 yards on 10 plays with three straight 3 and outs to start the game.

They haven't looked good at all in the first quarter. Yardage difference is something like 154-22 in favor of SDSU.
