The “Oil Can” is returning to San Diego soil, as the San Diego State Aztecs defeated the Fresno State Bulldogs 21-7 Saturday night.
The Aztecs weren’t going to be denied their first win in almost a month as the defense muzzled the visiting Bulldogs all night and the offense did just enough to hand Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter his first loss to SDSU.
This win, though, doesn’t overshadow the injury to junior running back Donnel Pumphrey, who went down with an apparent ankle injury in the third quarter. To that point, the star back had 124 yards rushing – a season high – on 23 carries and the lone touchdown for the Aztecs.
