SDSU is earmarked as one of the Group of Five teams that is seeking a major bowl bid, and Donnel Pumphrey is on the short list of difference makers to help make this a reality.

San Diego State kicks off its 94th season on Saturday night at Qualcomm Stadium against New Hampshire. This will be the first meeting for Aztecs and Wildcats. Aztecs are 40-16-4 all time when the season opener is at home, and this game is not projected to be close.
