SAN DIEGO -- Two of Donnel Pumphreys biggest fans were among the 43,473 fans who attended Saturday nights shootout between Cal and San Diego State.His grandmother and his daughter flew out from Las Vegas to watch a game in which he led SDSU to a wild 45-40 win over Cal and surpass Marshall Faulk as the Aztecs all-time leader in rushing yards.This is definitely a major memory for me, just to be able to do this with my teammates, my family here, coaching staff and athletic department here, its just unreal, Pumphrey said.Pumphrey rushed for three touchdowns, a career-high 281 yards and bolstered his argument for Heisman.Im not really worried about the individual accolades because its my whole offense thats picking me up, Pumphrey said.It still almost wasnt enough.San Diego State (1-1) held the lead for the majority of the game, but the Bears closed the gap to 45-40 with 21-yard touchdown catch by Raymond Hudson and then an onside kick recovery with 55 seconds left. Damontae Kazees interception at the SDSU 17 with 9 seconds left sealed the victory.Even when we got down two scores and it didnt look good I think we all felt like we had an opportunity to win the game, said Cal head coach Sonny Dykes. It kind of played out that way, we just didnt make enough plays down the stretch.SDSU avenged a 35-7 loss to Cal last year and extended its win streak to 12 games, the second-longest active win streak among FBS teams.THE TAKEAWAYSDSU: Pumphrey lived up to the Heisman hype brought on by the 50-foot banner hanging from a residence hall on the San Diego State campus. The FBS active leader in rushing yards, rushing TDs and 100-yard games also surpassed Marshall Faulk as the SDSU all-time leader in rushing yards.The lack of Power 5 opponents will hurt SDSUs argument to join the AP Top 25 for the first time since 1995. It also doesnt help that the Aztecs almost let the game slip in the fourth quarter.CAL: The offense hasnt skipped a beat since the departure of QB Jared Goff and Offensive Coordinator Tony Franklin. Senior QB Davis Webb is averaging 481.5 yards after his first two games with Cal and the Bears have averaged 617 total yards this season.KEY STATS:CAL: Webb provided a majority of the offense as 522 of the 604 the Bears gained in the game came through the air.SDSU: The Aztecs got the opposite production out of their offense with 334 of their 463 yards coming from rushing the ball.HIGHLIGHTS:Junior running back Rashaad Penny returned a kick 100-yards for a touchdown to give the Aztecs a 14-7 lead. The return was is fourth of his career after not even returning kickoffs in high school. This is a one-time thing, Penny said. I started my freshman year, and just went from there.Pumphrey left the Cal secondary in the dust with a nasty cut back on a 33-yard touchdown run in the second quarterCal wide receiver Raymond Hudson made an incredible 21-yard touchdown catch with a defender draped all over him to tie the score at 21 in the second quarter.UP NEXTSDSU: The Aztecs fly to DeKalb, Illinois to face Northern Illinois, a team that fell in its opener to Wyoming and lost its starting quarterback Drew Hare to a leg injury in a 45-17 loss to South Florida on SaturdayCAL: The Bears take on No. 11 Texas. Four of Cals 10 remaining opponents are currently ranked in the AP Top 25.LAST WORD:(Dykes) said thats the hardest any team has ever played under him, said Cal wide receiver Chad Hansen.

However, coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick would be eased back into full participation in practices and ruled him out for Saturday nights exhibition game against the Broncos.Kelly said the plan outlined by the teams medical staff in consultation with Kaepernick called for the quarterback to ramp up his practice participation next week with the notion of getting playing time in the teams third exhibition at home against Green Bay on Aug. 26.Theyre easing him back into throwing right now, Kelly said. In talking to him, he says he feels really good. But we dont want to throw him back out there and then have a setback. From what we understand, its not a long-term thing but were just getting him back into it. Thats the plan, to see if he can, so that hes a full go to get ready to play the following week.Kaepernick started by throwing passes of about 10 yards to assistant equipment manager Doc Dressler. Running back Carlos Hyde also came over to catch a few passes from Kaepernick, who later stretched out his throws to about 25 yards.Throughout the various side sessions and distances, Kaepernick was throwing tight spirals with plenty of zip. His participation in individual footwork and dropback drills was strong annd crisp.dddddddddddd.The team had Kaepernick back off his passing work after he experienced shoulder soreness following practice on Aug. 10.Gabbert was expected to start against the Broncos on Saturday night with Jeff Driskel also seeing time.Christian Ponder, signed earlier this week to bolster the teams quarterback depth, also was expected to see action.The 49ers lost quarterback Thad Lewis to a season-ending knee injury in their exhibition opener last Sunday against Houston.Ponder was out of the league last season after being released in training camp by the Oakland Raiders.Hes got to knock the rust off a little bit but for the first time out there, he did a good job, Kelly said of Ponders initial practice with the team Wednesday. Obviously, if we get him in the game Saturday, it will be limited in terms of, `What do you feel real comfortable throwing? What do you feel real comfortable running?Game notesHall of Famer Charles Haley has been on the practice field with his old team working with the 49ers pass-rushing linebackers. Hes really been an invaluable tool for us, Kelly said. Theres a tremendous amount of knowledge that he has and he has had tremendous success in this league. ... If he can impart some of that on our young guys, we want to have him around as long as Charles wants to be around. ... The 49ers wrapped up a second day of joint practices with the Broncos. Tempers flared several times between the teams but the skirmishes between players were quickly brought under control.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
