Since Marshall Williams Faulk shifted to San Diego State , he started studying chose Public Administration as his major. His GPA for his first semester was a solid 3.1. Marshall was also firm about making his mark on the football field. Marshall came in form in the national scene in San Diego 's State second game of the season against Pacific. He made his place in the contest when Wright was injured during his first quarter. In just three periods Faulk ran for 386 yards and seven touchdowns, as the Aztecs won 55-34. His rushing total broke the NCAA mark which was earlier made by Indiana tailback Anthony Thompson and also got him the Sports Illustrated's Offensive Player of the Week Award. The Aztecs team performed much better in 1991. Sophomore David Lowery won the quarterback job and did a nice job while ending the season raking 20 in the nation total offense. Together with Marshall and Rowe, David gave San Diego State one of the country's most explosive offenses. The team received a bid for the Freedom Bowl since their first post-season appearance in 1986 but lost 28-17 to Tulsa .
