SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Walter Kazee ran for a career-high three touchdowns as San Diego State cruised to a 35-7 win over New Mexico on Saturday night.

Ronnie Hillman, the FBS's leading rusher, ran for 141 yards and a touchdown for the Aztecs (5-3, 2-2 Mountain West).

The Lobos (0-9, 0-4), one of only two winless FBS teams, stretched their losing streak to 12 games. New Mexico's last win came Nov. 6, 2010 against Wyoming.

Kazee, who entered with five career rushing TDs, had never scored more than one in a game. Hillman, who came in averaging 151 yards per game, scored on a 1-yard run.

Chad Young added a 3-yard scoring run for the Aztecs. San Diego State's five rushing touchdowns were its most in more than 15 years.

Ryan Lindley completed 16 of 24 passes for 271 yards as the Aztecs gained 486 yards. The Lobos had just 162 yards of offense.
