Utah State (4-3, 2-1 Mountain West Conference) took a 27-25 lead on Rinker’s 45-yard field goal at the end of a 14-play drive with 6:09 left to play. Rinker added a 44-yarder to cap the scoring with 1:58 left.

Denis Lynch kicked a 37-yard field goal on the opening drive to give San Jose State (2-5, 1-2) the lead.

Utah State used the final minute to get a 31-yard field goal from Rinker for a 10-9 lead at halftime.

Barnes scored on a 2-yard run, but Lynch kicked a 35-yard field goal and the Spartans trailed 24-19 after three quarters.
