The Mountain West released its all-conference awards and it was all San Diego State. The Aztecs took home offensive player of the year in running back Donnel Pumphrey, defensive player of the year in defensive back Damontae Kazee and Rashaad Penny as special teams player of the year. Rocky Long was named coach of the year, and the only individual honor to not go to San Diego State was freshman of the year which went to Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien.
The Aztecs went undefeated in conference play thus earning these awards, but one can argue -- or at least me -- that New Mexico's Bob Davie had a good argument to win coach of the year for his continual turnaround with the Lobos.
