San Diego State linebacker Calvin Munson single-handedly outscored the University of San Diego Saturday with two interceptions returned for a touchdown.
On Sunday, the Aztecs playmaker was named the Walter Camp National FBS Defensive Player of the Week.
Monday his conference also honored him by crowning him the first 2015 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week.
The pair of Pick-Sixes tied an NCAA single-game record for a linebacker and set the school mark for San Diego State.
Munson returned his first interception 19 yards for a score early in the first quarter and then rumbled 67 yards to the house after pilfering his second pick in the third quarter.
In addition to those two demoralizing plays, the junior standout collected a team-high 11 tackles, a sack, and recovered a fumble in the 37-3 blowout victory over the Toreros. Sources could neither confirm nor deny that he also found a partridge in a pear tree.
SDSU teammate Damontae Kazee also had 3 interceptions against the Toreros in the season opener.
Munson has totaled six interceptions for his career as he settles in to his junior campaign.
