Coming into Satuday’s San Diego State football game against Fresno State, there was some focus on play calling. It wasn’t to the degree of last year, when Bob Toledo confused half the state of Texas with his illogical play calling.
Much of this year’s talk was centered around offensive coordinator Jeff Horton’s reliance on junior running back Donnel Pumphrey, despite having three very capable running backs backing up Pumphrey.
The prevailing thought: Pumphrey’s going to get hurt.
He did.
Pumphrey limped off the field in the third quater with an apparent left ankle injury. He stayed on the sideline for several minutes while being guarded by a circle of teammates and team trainers before he walked gingerly to the locker room.
