Follow SDSU senior running back Rashaad Penny as he travels through college football awards limbo and go inside the minds of the voters who put him there.
Rashaad Penny had just completed the game of his life.
San Diego State’s All-American senior running back ran for 222 yards with three total touchdowns and eclipsed a school record with 429 all-purpose yards during the Aztecs’ 42-23 victory over the University of Nevada on Nov. 18.
Penny returned both a kickoff and punt for a touchdown in the game and as he walked into the postgame press conference — alongside his redshirt junior quarterback Christian Chapman and junior linebacker Ronley Lakalaka — members of the media were instructed to ask him questions first because he was needed elsewhere.
