"Chavez-Soto was needed because Jabari Bates was ruled out for the season with an injury suffered against Stanford, and Floyd Chalk IV was seen before the game in the stands in street clothes. He was not on the field with the team. Then on his first career carry, Viliami Teu went to the injury tent after taking a hit. Next up was Chavez-Soto, who scored the game's first touchdown on a 4-yard run."
"His 10-yard scoring run in the third quarter stretched San Jose State's lead to 28-17. Lamar Radcliffe, who started in place of Bates and Chalk, finished with 64 yards in 15 carries. The Spartans ran for 153 yards as a team. Danny Scudero was the Spartans' leading receiver with seven catches for 151 yards, marking the fourth game this season that the UC Davis transfer has gone over 100 yards."
"SJSU's secondary struggled to contain New Mexico's passing game in the first half, allowing 217 yards. The defense was susceptible to the big play as four Lobos (3-2, 0-1) receivers had a reception for 15 or more yards, including a 42-yard reception by Shawn Miller. But with the Spartans up 28-17 in the third quarter, cornerback Jalen Bainer was able to secure an interception, which allowed the Spartans to extend their lead to 35-17 on Leland Smith's 8-yard reception."
San Jose State beat New Mexico 35-28 in a Mountain West opener at CEFCU Stadium. Walker Eget threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns. Freshman Steve Chavez-Soto ran for 71 yards and two touchdowns after other running backs were injured. Jabari Bates was ruled out for the season and Floyd Chalk IV did not play. Viliami Teu left after his first career carry with an injury. Lamar Radcliffe ran 64 yards on 15 carries and the Spartans totaled 153 rushing yards. Danny Scudero had seven catches for 151 yards. San Jose State forced three interceptions, two by Jalen Bainer and one by Larry Turner-Gooden, which helped secure the win. San Jose State will play at Wyoming on Oct. 11.
