San Diego State is about to do something it hasnt done in 21 years -- play a game as a ranked program.The No. 19 Aztecs went 341 polls without being ranked before cracking the rankings Sept. 18 and aim not to stumble when they visit South Alabama in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ESPNews).San Diego State didnt remain ranked very long back in 1995. The Aztecs fell out as quickly as they climbed in by losing 34-31 to Wyoming.But San Diego State, which didnt play last week, is back among the elite and intends to hang around a lot longer this time around.It feels great to just be able to get the recognition we felt we deserved, standout senior running back Donnel Pumphrey said. Our team, we expected it. Were all happy and were ready for the next test -- which is South Alabama.Oh yeah, South Alabama.This San Diego State squad should have plenty of motivation when it comes to avoiding the upset. You see, the Jaguars (2-2) defeated the Aztecs 34-27 in overtime last season in San Diego.San Diego State players and coaches sure dont need much reminding of that defeat.Anytime somebody beats you, you relish the chance to return the favor, Aztecs coach Rocky Long said. My idea that last years game was two teams of similar playing ability was exactly wrong. They outplayed us bad. You have to give them credit.South Alabama senior outside linebacker Roman Buchanan is interested in making it consecutive wins over the Aztecs. He also expects to confront an angry group of San Diego State players.Theyre definitely gunning for us, Buchanan said. I would expect nothing less than that. Theyre a really good team, and they dont take lightly somebody coming into their house and beating them. So they definitely want to return the favor.The Aztecs (3-0) are streaking as they enter the rematch. They have won their past 13 games -- second best in the nation behind top-ranked Alabama (16) -- and have won 11 of those by 14 or more points.Another victory would give the program its first 4-0 start since 1981.Not only is San Diego State gaining rare national attention, Pumphrey leads the nation in rushing yards per game (199.7) and is receiving mention as a possible top-five Heisman Trophy finisher.Pumphrey recently surpassed Marshall Faulks school career rushing mark of 4,589 yards and that has elevated his status and increased his national profile. He has 4,871 rushing yards and 52 touchdowns -- including 599 yards and seven touchdowns in three games this season.The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Pumphrey is only 129 yards away from becoming the 21st player in college football history to rush for 5,000 career yards.He kind of reminds me of Reggie Bush, he is that type of back, South Alabama coach Joey Jones said in reference to the former USC star and current NFL player. He is what I call a one-step cutter, he can be running full speed and it only takes him one step to change direction at a great angle.He has the speed to take it home, if you miss him and he gets out in the open field he can score from 60, 80 yards out. Hes a guy who can make big plays.South Alabama did a capable job on Pumphrey last season. Pumphrey finished with 102 rushing yards but needed 28 carries to reach that total.Buchanan and senior safety Kalen Jackson are tied for the team tackle lead with 33.
