SAN JOSE — San Jose State escaped with its third conference win 24-14 against Wyoming on Saturday at CEFCU Stadium.
SJSU (5-2, 3-1 MWC) quarterback Walker Eget got his first-career start after splitting reps with quarterback Emmett Brown the last two weeks.
Eget finished 20-for-38 with 318 passing yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Brown saw the field late in the third quarter and had one pass for a completion. This drive stalled out after multiple penalties pushed the Spartans to a third and 21.
The Spartans finished with a season-high 176 rushing yards.
SJSU avoided a disastrous first half after a blocked field goal, Eget fumble on a scramble, Eget interception and a muffed punt return by Matthew Coleman halted the Spartans’ offensive drives. The Spartans were up 14-0 at halftime.
Spartans running back Floyd Chalk IV scored first with a 39-yard touchdown 7-0 on the first drive.
Wide receiver Nick Nash’s 17-yard touchdown reception made it seven consecutive games with a touchdown reception for him, a new SJSU Record.
Eget’s second interception was caused by pressure from Cowboys defensive end Sabastian Harsh, tipped by linebacker Connor Shay and snatched by nickelback Wrook Brown.
