Aztec Football Meets San José State on Friday Night
* Off to its best start since 1977, San Diego State plays its second of three consecutive Friday night games when the Aztecs play host to San José State at Qualcomm Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. PT.
* San Diego State carries a number of lengthy win streaks into Friday's game, including: 13 straight victories against conference opponents (tied with Clemson for the longest active streak in the country), 12 straight home wins against league opponents, 11 straight victories in games played in the Pacific Time Zone, eight straight victories at home, four straight victories in Friday games and four straight wins against teams from the state of California.
* During the 13-game win streak vs. MW teams (including the 2015 MW Championship game), SDSU has outscored its opponents, 427-145.
* San Diego State has not dropped a game to a Mountain West opponent since Nov. 15, 2014 and has not lost a home game to a league foe since Oct. 26, 2013 (12 straight victories).
* Heisman Trophy candidate Donnel Pumphrey continues to lead all of FBS this season in rushing yards (1,111), rushing yards per game (185.2) and all-purpose yards per game (207.0). He is tied for second in rushing touchdowns (11).
* Pumphrey, a senior from Las Vegas, is the active FBS career leader in rushing yards (5,383), rushing touchdowns (56), all-purpose yards (6,387), 100-yard rushing games (27) and total touchdowns scored (61).
* Pumphrey continues to climb the official NCAA career rushing chart. His 5,383 yards rushing currently places him eighth on that chart. He needs 1,015 yards to surpass Ron Dayne's (Wisconsin) career total of 6,397. If SDSU plays eight more games (would mean the Aztecs play in a conference championship and bowl game), Pumphrey would have to average 126.9 yards to break the record.
* Pumphrey's second-highest single-game total of 263 yards (21 carries, three touchdowns) came in the 2014 contest against the Spartans. In three career games against SJSU, he has 491 yards rushing on 51 carries (9.6 avg.) with five touchdowns (also has a TD reception).
* Defensively, San Diego State is once again among the nation's elite. Since the beginning of the 2015 season, the Aztecs are second in turnovers forced (46), fourth in rushing yards per attempt (3.1), fifth in total offense allowed per game (290.3) and seventh in points allowed per game (17.5).
* SDSU's defense has not allowed an opponent's offense to score a touchdown in its last 104 snaps from scrimmage. That covers two full games and 128:02 of playing time.
* Since Oct. 3, 2015, San Diego State owns the nation's third-best record at 15-1 (.938), trailing only Alabama (18-0, 1.000) and Clemson (18-1, .947), and ahead of Ohio State (14-1, .933) and Houston (16-2, .889).
