SJSU defeats OSU to secure bowl eligibility.

San Jose State had to work hard to secure their spot in a bowl game for the third year in a row. Despite a strong start to the season with a record of 4-1, the Spartans faced some challenges in the following games and lost two out of three. However, on Saturday, they were able to secure a spot in the bowl game by making a comeback in the fourth quarter and defeating Oregon State with a final score of 24-13.

The odds were not in the Spartans' favor during the game. They were down 13-10 when their quarterback, Walker Eget, connected with wide receiver Nick Nash for a 39-yard touchdown. However, the touchdown was immediately called back due to an offensive pass interference penalty. This caused a visible display of frustration from the Spartans' coach, Ken Niumatalolo, on the sideline. To make matters worse, the team received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, adding to their already growing list of penalties.

This unfortunate turn of events left the Spartans in a difficult position with a third-and-38 situation, ultimately leading to a punt on fourth down. But, as it often happens in sports, the tide turned in their favor on Oregon State's next possession. Defensive back DJ Harvey intercepted a pass and returned it for a 16-yard touchdown, giving the Spartans a 17-13 lead with just over 11 minutes left in the game.

With the momentum on their side, the Spartans all but sealed the game on their next offensive drive. Running back Floyd Chalk IV ran for an 11-yard touchdown, capping off a 46-yard drive and extending their lead to 24-13 with just over six minutes remaining. This was a crucial moment for San Jose State, as it secured their spot in the bowl game and solidified their position as a strong team.

The defense also played a major role in this victory, forcing three turnovers throughout the game. And Nash continued to be a reliable target for Eget, scoring his eighth consecutive game with a touchdown reception. He finished the game with six receptions for an impressive 161 yards. Speaking of Eget, he had a solid performance as well, completing 18 out of 35 passes for 395 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Overall, it was a hard-fought game for the Spartans, but they were able to overcome the challenges and secure their spot in the bowl game. This victory is a testament to their determination and resilience, and it sets them up for a bright future in the world of college sports.
