Overview

  • Sedrick Irvin scored from the 1-yard line with 19 seconds left to cap a 30-29 comeback in the Bill Walsh Legacy Game.
  • Ben Gulbranson went 29-of-43 for 444 yards and two touchdowns, including a 34-yard completion to Caden High on fourth-and-10 to extend the decisive drive.
  • Walker Eget threw for 473 yards and three touchdowns as San Jose State leaned heavily on the pass, with Kyri Shoels, Danny Scudero, and Leland Smith all topping 100 receiving yards.
  • Denis Lynch finished 3-for-5 on field goals, missing from 28 and 29 yards, as special teams issues and a late defensive breakdown undercut the Spartans’ upset bid.
  • Stanford improved to 2-3 under interim coach Frank Reich; linebacker Matt Rose will miss the first half of the next game after a targeting ejection, with SJSU hosting New Mexico on Friday and Stanford visiting SMU on Oct. 11.
