After San Jose State (6-3, 4-2 MW) finally got off to a fast offensive start and a 14-0 lead over San Diego State (6-4, 4-2 MW) in the first quarter, the Spartans went to sleep in a 43-27 loss.
It’s the most points the Spartans have given up this year.
Spartan QB Chevan Cordiero led two opening drives with a touchdown throw and a rushing touchdown.
In between that early scoring, freshman Spartan cornerback Michael Dansby intercepted the big dual-threat Aztec QB Jalen Mayden that led to Cordiero’s rushing score.
And for the first eight minutes of the game, the Spartans quieted 28,406 at Snapdragon Stadium.
