Boise State 45 --- San Jose State 20
Well, it really shouldn't come as a surprise that Boise State (6-1) won. If anything, the real surprise here should be the fact San Jose State (2-4) was only down 4 points late in the 2nd quarter. But with both the starting and backup Spartan QB's getting knocked out of the game with injuries, any chance of pulling out a win was gone.
No matter how well the Spartans played, they could not stop the Broncos big-play offense. QB William Harris (407 yards passing, 4 TD's) connected on three long TD passes: 63 yards to WR John Patterson, 67 yards to WR Paul Arnett, and 77 yards to WR Philip Lynch. Additionally, RB James Brown rushed for 118 yards on 20 carries (5.9 YPC), and 3 catches for 52 yards (17.3 YPC). On the defensive side of the ball, Bronco OLB Harley Taylor had a special day, getting 11 tackles (10 solo) with 2 sacks, 2 stuffs, and a pass deflection.
While things could have gone much better for the Spartans RB John Moreno still had a respectable day, gaining 88 yards on 25 carries (3.52 YPC) and 1 TD. Kicker Buddy Carr was perfect on the day, nailing 2 field goals and 2 extra points. With the loss, the Spartans move to 1-3 in the "West Division" of the Mountain West Conference. Next up, the Colorado State Rams (4-3).
