Pumphrey powers SDSU football past Fresno, 17-3

There is nothing sexy about a 17-3 win.
But, evidently, it does not have to be for San Diego State football, who defeated Fresno State University 17-3 on Friday night.
The game was nearly a carbon-copy of the Aztecs’ 26-7 win over University of Nevada, Las Vegas last weekend, as they leaned heavily on senior running back Donnel Pumphrey and their experienced defense to maintain control.
Pumphrey tore up the Fresno State for 220 yards on a career-high 38 rushes and two touchdowns, giving the FBS rushing leader 1111 yards in 2016.
The defense, meanwhile, held the Bulldogs to only 217 yards while forcing three turnovers, all interceptions.
