Donnel Pumphrey is one of the best college football players you’ve never heard about unless you’re a die-hard fan or a San Diego State fan. His amazing skills were on display Saturday during the Las Vegas Bowl as the Aztecs battled the Louisville Cardinals.
Poised to break the NCAA’s all-time rushing mark, Pumphrey showed off his receiving abilities as well with a ridiculous 26-yard one-handed catch on the right sideline with a defender draped over him.

One play later, Pumphrey capped off the drive with a go-ahead 32-yard touchdown run to give the Aztecs a 13-10 lead over the Cardinals.
He needed 108 rushing yards before the game started to take the all-time rushing lead. this 32-yard rush gave him 97 on the day with plenty of time left to break the record.
