In addition to being a superstar running back and the face of San Diego State football, junior Donnel Pumphrey is apparently impervious to injury.
After leaving the game in the Aztecs’ victory last weekend against Fresno State, head coach Rocky Long said Pumphrey would be out “a couple of weeks.”
To the surprise of everyone and the obvious delight of Long, Pumphrey started and shined on Saturday against the weak University of Hawaii defense, running 30 times for 148 yards and three touchdowns.
The game was far and away his best performance of the season.
