Lights out! After darkness delay, SDSU edges No. 19 Stanford

SAN DIEGO -- Christian Chapman threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to tight end David Wells with 54 seconds left, capping a wild ending sparked by a darkness delay in San Diego State's 20-17 victory over No. 19 Stanford on Saturday night.

Six plays before Wells' score, the game was delayed nearly 25 minutes when most of the lights went out at 50-year-old San Diego Stadium. The city has fallen behind on maintenance of the stadium, and the NFL's Chargers moved to Los Angeles earlier this year after they couldn't get a deal for a new home.
