Football

Las Vegas Bowl — Donnel Pumphrey set the NCAA career rushing record in his college finale, running for 115 yards and a TD as San Diego State (11-3) defeated Houston (9-4), 34-10.

Pumphrey passed former Wisconsin star Ron Dayne’s mark of 6,397 yards on a 15-yard run early in the fourth quarter. He wrapped up his sensational career in his hometown with 6,405 yards.

‘‘It means the world to me,’’ Pumphrey said as his father wiped away tears before hugging him.

Pumphrey’s senior total of 2,133 yards rushing ranks in the top 10 for a FBS player.

Ron Smith returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown, Curtis Anderson caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Christian Chapman, Juwan Washington ran for a touchdown, and John Baron kicked two field goals for the Aztecs. They overcame a 10-0 first-quarter deficit against the Cougars for their second consecutive bowl win.
