San Jose State was the reputed tale of two teams at the Los Angeles colosseum this past Saturday.

What looked to be a close single possession game at the start of the end of the quarter found the Spartans running out of gas losing 30-7.

In the first-half, the Trojans had the advantage but not full momentum. The Spartan defense played well and kept SJS in the game in what could have been worse than the 13-0 first-half Trojan lead.

A spirited Spartan defense was led by aggressive and athletic play by the likes of Tre Jenkins, Hardari Darden, Jay Lenard, and especially, cornerback Nehemiah Shelton.
