Nothing doing might have been an understatement for Hawaii’s showing in San Diego on Saturday night.
Donnel Pumphrey ran for 112 yards and Rashaad Penny added 108 yards on the ground as San Diego State walloped Hawaii 55-0.
The Aztecs (8-1, 5-0) won their fifth straight and clinched at least a share of the Mountain West Conference West Division title by extending their lead to 2½ games over the second-place Rainbow Warriors (4-6, 3-3).
Pumphrey — the nation’s leading rusher — had 85 yards by the end of the first quarter when the Aztecs led 14-0. It was his eighth straight 100-yard game, tying his own personal best and moving him two behind Marshall Faulk for the program record.
John Baron II kicked a pair of field goals in the second quarter, the only period the Aztecs didn’t reach the end zone twice.
Dru Brown had 135 yards passing and three interceptions for Hawaii.
UH now returns home where they will play two of its final three regular season games, beginning with a nationally-televised matchup with Boise State on Nov. 12. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Aloha Stadium.
