San José State Holds Off New Mexico in Week 6 Matchup
San José State defeated New Mexico 35-28 on Saturday, covering the 2-point spread in a game that finished over the 59.5-point total.
The Spartans dominated the first half, scoring 21 points through two quarters while holding New Mexico scoreless in the first 30 minutes. San José State's offense struck quickly in the second quarter when Walker Eget connected with Danny Scudero on a 70-yard touchdown pass. The Lobos mounted a second-half comeback, outscoring San José State 11-14 in the second half after posting 17 points in the second quarter alone. New Mexico quarterback Jack Layne led the comeback effort, completing 344 passing yards. Despite the late pressure, San José State's lead proved insurmountable.
San José State's Kyri Shoels led all receivers with 81 yards, while Steve Chavez-Soto paced the ground game with 71 yards. Layne's 42-yard completion to Shawn Miller in the second quarter and a 24-yard fourth-quarter strike to Keagan Johnson kept New Mexico within striking distance, but the Lobos couldn't complete the comeback. San José State's defense made crucial plays, including an early interception by Larry Turner-Gooden.
