San Diego State 34, Houston 10
In the first quarter, Pumphrey was shut down by Houston’s defense, and he had negative yardage after 15 minutes of play, but he got going early in the second quarter with a run he bounced to the outside for a gain of 30 yards. After halftime, Pumphrey was able to put San Diego State in the lead with a 32-yard touchdown run. He exploded up the middle and stepped out of an ankle tackle from Houston corner Brandon Wilson to dart down the field for six. Pumphrey then became the all-time leading rusher in NCAA history breaking the mark of 6,397 yards that had perviously been held by Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne.
Pumphrey had 19 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown in this game. For the NFL, Pumphrey (5-9, 180) is an undersized back who will fit as a speed, pass-receiving third-down back. He doesn’t have the size or strength to run through tackles and get a lot of yards after contact. Pumphrey could go in the early rounds of Day 3 as a receiving and change-of-pace back.
