"After falling 26-16 to Air Force at home and dropping three of its last four games, San Jose State now finds itself in a sudden-death situation in terms of reaching bowl eligibility. The Spartans (3-6, 2-3 Mountain West) were 6.5-point favorites, but their only lead in Saturday's loss to Air Force (3-6, 2-4) came after their first offensive drive, when kicker Denis Lynch hit a 31-yard field goal to make the game 3-0."
"Eget also had to play the majority of the game banged up as he missed several plays on the Spartans' second drive with a leg injury. Xavier Ward took Eget's place to finish that possession and fumbled on a read option, marking the first turnover of the game for SJSU. It took away some of (Eget's) mobility, Niumatalolo said of the leg injury. You could see in some of his deep balls, he couldn't really step into some of his throws."
San Jose State lost 26-16 to Air Force at home and dropped three of its last four games, leaving the Spartans at 3-6 overall and 2-3 in Mountain West play. The Spartans were 6.5-point favorites but held only a 3-0 lead after a Denis Lynch 31-yard field goal. San Jose State must win its final three games, including a road matchup at San Diego State, to become bowl eligible. Turnovers hurt the offense: Walker Eget threw two interceptions, ending a 276-pass streak without a pick, and Xavier Ward fumbled after replacing an injured, limited Eget.
