"Walker Eget passed for 473 yards and three touchdowns, including a score early in the fourth quarter that gave San Jose State a 12-point lead, but the Spartans' hopes of defeating Stanford for the second year in a row were dashed in a 30-29 loss on Saturday night at Stanford Stadium. It was the third time in four games SJSU's fate was decided in the final seconds."
"The Spartans (1-3) missed a pair of field goal attempts in the final 90 seconds of their season-opening 16-14 loss to Central Michigan, and held off Idaho 31-28 a week ago on Denis Lynch's field goal as time expired.

Walker Eget completed 473 passing yards and three touchdowns, including a fourth-quarter score that briefly gave San Jose State a 12-point lead. Stanford rallied to win 30-29 when the Cardinal scored a go-ahead touchdown with 19 seconds left. The Spartans surrendered nine points in the final 5:54 and had previously seen close outcomes late in games this season. SJSU led 29-21 after Denis Lynch's 31-yard field goal with 7:51 remaining but allowed a 34-yard pass on 4th-and-10 that kept Stanford's final drive alive. San Jose State ran just 12 designed rushes for 32 yards, with Eget adding 19 rushing yards on scrambles.
