It was the Rashaad Penny show in the desert on Saturday night, as San Diego State’s senior running back logged a career-high 353 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns in a 30-20 victory over Arizona State University.
This was the 12th matchup all time between the two schools, and the Aztecs’ first win over the Sun Devils for the first time in the series.
The Aztecs rode Penny to start the game, getting him the ball on each of the team’s first four plays. SDSU’s first drive came to an abrupt end after redshirt junior quarterback Christian Chapman was twice taken to the ground, but it wouldn’t be long before Penny took over.
