Game Notes
* The Aztecs have won 10 consecutive home games (fourth-longest active streak nationally).
* SDSU has won 14 straight home games against Mountain West opponents and has not dropped a game to a league foe since Oct. 22, 2013. San Diego State has won 20 straight home games against unranked MW opponents at game time.
* The Aztecs are 5-0 at home this season. It has been 20 years since SDSU posted a perfect home record. The 1996 squad went 6-0 at home and 8-3 overall.
* Heisman Trophy candidate Donnel Pumphrey continues to rank among the national (FBS) leaders this season. He is currently second in rushing yards (1,855) and rushing yards per game (168.6), sixth in all-purpose yards per game (187.09) and 12th in rushing touchdowns (14).
* Pumphrey, a senior from Las Vegas, is the active FBS career leader in rushing yards (6,127), rushing yards per game (120.1), all-purpose yards (7,203), rushing touchdowns (59), total touchdowns scored (64) and 100-yard rushing games (32). He is the only player in NCAA history with at least 5,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving.
* Pumphrey continues to climb the official NCAA career rushing chart. His 6,127 yards rushing currently places him third on that chart. He needs 271 yards to surpass Ron Dayne's (Wisconsin) career total of 6,397. If SDSU plays three more games (counts the conference championship and assumes a bowl game), Pumphrey would have to average 90.3 yards to break the record (2016 average is 168.6).
* Damontae Kazee has a school-record 15 career interceptions, including five this season. Kazee ranks second among all active FBS players with his 15 picks, and the Aztecs are 11-1 when he records an interception (note he has one three-interception game and one two-interception game). He was the 2015 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year (Kirk Morrison is the only other Aztec to win that honor).
* Junior running back and kick returner Rashaad Penny returned his fifth career kickoff for a touchdown on Saturday. That is a school record, ranks second among all active FBS players and is two short of the NCAA record. In addition to his 22 career touchdowns (13 rushing, five kickoff returns, four receiving), he has 1,253 career rushing yards (863 of which has come this season). He is averaging 8.1 yards per carry in 2016, the second-highest total for any running back with at least 750 rushing yards.
