HONOLULU -- Rashaad Penny returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and San Diego State defeated Cincinnati 42-7 in the Hawaii Bowl on Thursday.
The Aztecs (11-3) won their final 10 games to match the longest winning streak in school history.
Penny had his third kickoff return for a score this season -- and second 100-yarder -- and broke the Hawaii bowl record for the longest return before a sparse crowd of 14,537 at Aloha Stadium.
San Diego State rushed for 207 yards, topping the 200-yard mark for the 10th consecutive game, and finished with 336 yards of total offense.
Cincinnati finished 7-5.
