San Diego State vs. UNLV: Keys to an Aztec victory

Related Topics: Interception, Marshall Faulk

After falling out of the AP Top 25 following a 42-24 loss to unranked Southern Alabama, the San Diego State Aztecs will look to bounce back against the UNLV Rebels. Below are three keys to ensure a victory for the Aztecs this Saturday.

1. Win the Run Game

The Aztecs have relied on senior running-back Donnel Pumphrey, who leads the NCAA in rushing yards (750) and is fifth in total touchdowns (8). Pumphrey surpassed Marshall Faulk when he broke the SDSU career rushing yards record three weeks ago against California.
