Donnel Pumphrey ascends to No. 14 in all-time NCAA rushing during UNLV rout

This past Saturday night at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Rocky Long's Aztecs, with their strong defense and versatile offense, dominated Tony Sanchez and the UNLV Running Rebels with a 26-7 win at home.

Donnel Pumphrey was the first of a running back one-two punch alongside fellow Aztec Rashaad Penny. The two backs kept UNLV guessing about who would run the ball all night. Both running backs went for over 100 yards apiece- Pumphrey with 31 carries and 141 yards and 1 TD; and Penny with 14 carries, 110 yards, and 1 TD.
