eighth place in the Mountain West in a preseason media poll<\/a>.<\/p>\nFisher drew parallels to the struggles when he took over the SDSU basketball program but with the opportunity to recruit to a new arena with the football team\u2019s struggles in Lewis\u2019 first year but opportunities presented at Snapdragon Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning is a panacea for everything,\u201d said Fisher, while also noting, \u201cIf you\u2019re a good person, people will talk about you as a good person.\u201d<\/p>\n
And character counts for something as well.<\/p>\n
Fisher also touched on the importance of those setting the tone for the program.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe talked about the bedrock and the foundation of those Year 1 guys,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cTo have those guys that know a good foundation of the system. But more importantly know the how and why of the things that we do to make sure that they\u2019re upholding the standard and helping the guys learn just how and why we do things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lewis said he was grateful Fisher could stop by and share some wisdom with the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he will be at a majority of our home games,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cHe echoed a lot of the same things we\u2019ve been talking about. It was really cool \u2026 He said it in his way, but it aligned perfectly with what we\u2019re doing and how we\u2019re building this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notable<\/p>\n
Lewis has broken fall camp into four quarters leading up to game week and the Aug. 28 season opener against Stony Brook.<\/p>\n
Four practices last week represented the first quarter. Four practices this week, which will feature the team\u2019s first scrimmage, represent the second quarter. The third and fourth quarters the following two weeks each will include six workouts. The most notable date there is the Aug. 14 FanFest scrimmage schedule for Snapdragon Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat first day of the second quarter of camp,\u201d Lewis said after Monday morning\u2019s practice. \u201cKind of had some situational work with third down, normal down-and-distance, as we\u2019re starting to layer situations and concepts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought the guys handled it great. Really good, competitive spirit. Really good maturity so far through camp, and now we need to be able to sustain it as we go. Pleased where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 Lewis said Week 1 standouts included running back Lucky Sutton<\/strong>, the offensive line in general and defensive linemen Brady Nassar<\/strong>, Niles King<\/strong>, August Salvati<\/strong> and Krishna Clay<\/strong> (\u201che probably had the most physical practice,\u201d Lewis said) in particular.<\/p>\n\u2022 Redshirt freshman tight end Ryan Wolfer<\/strong> was back on the field Monday after watching last week from the sidelines with his right foot in a boot. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Will Cianfrini<\/strong> was limited with a lower body injury and true freshman offensive lineman Ashdon Wnetrzak<\/strong> was limited with an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\nOriginally Published: August 4, 2025 at 5:54 PM PDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego State coach Sean Lewis brings in speakers from time to time who can provide motivation, education…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":119697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,1369,1370,3549,7264,18257,62,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-119696","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-college-sports","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-san-diego","14":"tag-sandiego","15":"tag-sdsu-aztecs","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114973743906109699","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
