"San Jose State's 25-3 loss to San Diego State on Saturday night was mostly caused by the Spartans' self-inflicted wounds that created too big of a deficit to battle back from at Snapdragon stadium. On top of two turnovers and a pair of missed field goals, it didn't help that the Spartans also lost starting quarterback Walker Eget in the first quarter."
"Eget suffered an apparent leg injury and was later seen on the sideline using crutches after going 4-for-8 for 32 yards and an interception. While not revealing many details, Niumatalolo struck an ominous tone when asked about Eget's injury. I'll just say it didn't look good, Niumatalolo said. Haven't got anything official but we'll find out in a little bit. Eget's injury forced freshman quarterback Tama Amisone to take over the offense."
"Amisone, a 5-foot-11, 184-pound product of Hawaii's Kapolei High, utilized his duel-threat abilities to give the Aztecs a different look. He rushed for a team-high 75 yards on 13 runs while completing 15 of 27 passes for 104 yards and an interception. The San Diego State defense, which is ranked first in the Mountain West while allowing just 12.5 points per game, held the Spartans to 268 yards of offense and out of the end zone."
San Jose State lost 25-3 to San Diego State after self-inflicted mistakes and the early injury to starting quarterback Walker Eget. The Spartans committed two turnovers, missed two field goals, and carry a minus-9 turnover margin with an 11-for-19 field-goal record (58 percent). Eget left with an apparent leg injury after going 4-for-8 for 32 yards and an interception, forcing freshman Tama Amisone to replace him. Amisone rushed 75 yards on 13 carries and completed 15 of 27 passes for 104 yards with an interception. San Diego State's top-ranked defense held San Jose State to 268 yards, seven tackles for loss and four sacks.
