San Jose State’s 37-31 win over New Mexico State saw two driving, churning offenses led by two high performing dual-threat quarterbacks.
The 15,804 in attendance at CEFCU also witnessed Spartan junior Nick Nash in his first start filling in for the injured Nick Starkel.
Nash’s efficient performance came with flying colors throwing for three touchdowns on 14 of 17 and 195 yards passing. Nash’s 25 yards on the ground also helped keep the Aggie defense honest with a run-threat dimension only he could add.
Aggie QB Johah Johnson flashed his inner Russell Wilson (of Seattle) that stretched the Spartan defense throughout the game.
