Logan • Utah State's defense can cross the country's leading rusher off its list of opposing running backs, but that's not to say the Aggies' life will get much easier in the coming weeks.
San Diego State's Donnel Pumphrey visited Maverik Stadium on Friday night, launching a series of the Mountain West's top running backs that will challenge USU. The Aggies also will meet BYU's Jamaal Williams to conclude the regular season Nov 26 in Provo.
USU entered the game ranked sixth in the MW in rushing defense, allowing 151.6 yards.
"Coming into the season, one of our goals was to … have a defense that can stop the run," USU linebacker Derek Larsen said prior to facing the Aztecs.
