San Diego State football flexed its muscle Saturday night against San Jose State, showing why they were selected to win the West division by the media in the preseason in it 30-7 win.
The Aztecs used their suffocating defense to bottle up one of the Mountain West’s premiere rushers, senior Tyler Ervin, to 22 yards on 17 carries.
While Ervin couldn’t get it going, junior running back Donnel Pumphrey continued to be a thorn in San Jose State’s side, leading all players with 152 rushing yards and 55 receiving yards.
In three games against SJSU, Pumphrey has rushed for 491 on 51 carries with five touchdowns.
