One week after it clinched the Mountain West West division crown, San Diego State football defeated University of Nevada, Reno 46-16, improving its Mountain West winning streak to 16 games, and its 2016 record to 9-1.
This game was decided, much like in most other SDSU wins, at the line of scrimmage.
Sticking with the status quo, the Aztecs rushed for 460 yards, a new school record, against the Wolfpack defense that has allowed 279.9 yards per game, the second worst average in the FBS.
SDSU nearly had two 200-yard rushers, as junior running back Rashaad Penny gained a career-high 208 yards on 10 carries, and senior running back Donnel Pumphrey added 198 yards on 26 rushes.
