San Jose State decided to go for two and the victory instead of overtime, but the play literally went through a players hand and the game ended.
There were three plays that ultimately decided this game between San Jose State and BYU which saw the Spartans losing, 17-16. We will start in reverse order with the two-point conversion. This was a gutsy call by either offensive coordinator Al Borges or head coach Ron Caragaher but it was the right call. The San Jose State defense was not playing all that great and the offense was clicking, so why not surprise BYU and go for the win.
