Offense:
Ground and pound is the name of the game for San Diego State football.
Anchored by an offensive line with only one returning starter – who missed significant time with injuries this season – the Aztecs put together a season full of dominant running performances.
Senior running back Rashaad Penny rushed for 2,027 yards and 19 touchdowns, marking the first time in FBS history that a team had a 2,000-yard rusher in two consecutive seasons.
Redshirt junior quarterback Christian Chapman picked and chose his opporunities and showed up time and again in key situations, leading two game-winning fourth quarter drives against Stanford University and Air Force Academy.
