The Aztecs got a much needed win to kick off conference play against Fresno State to reclaim the Old Oil Can. The win put a stop to a three-game losing streak to give the Aztecs a 2-3 record on the season.
Junior running back Donnel Pumphrey had a big game with 124 rushing yards and a touchdown. That was his 15th 100-yard rushing game in his career, tying him for fourth on the Mountain West career chart. But he left the game early with an ankle injury. Head Coach Rocky Long said after the game the X-rays came back negative and he sustained a high ankle sprain.
The defense also showed for the Aztecs. They held the Bulldogs to 89 total offensive yards.
San Diego State wins 21-7. They look to move on to 2-0 in conference play next week in Hawaii.
