Wyoming Outlasts San José State 16-13 in Overtime
Wyoming's offense in this game was Tyler Hughes running 27 times for 92 yards, a handful of field goals, and one touchdown pass to a tight end. It was enough. The Cowboys beat San José State 16-13 in overtime, with Erik Sandvik's 21-yard field goal ending it.
Sandvik was busy. He hit from 38 yards in the first quarter and from 29 in the second, and he finished the game with the overtime kick. In between, San José State took a 7-3 lead on an 18-yard Jabari Bates run, and then Trajan Sinatra kicked field goals of 22 and 27 yards in the third quarter to make it 13-6. That is where it stood until late. Jake Wilson caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Hughes with 6:25 left in the fourth, and the extra point made it 13-13.
The teams were close in total yards (Wyoming 345, San José State 326) and very far apart in how they got there. The Cowboys ran 53 times for 231 yards and threw for 114, while the Spartans threw for 251 and ran for 75 on 28 carries. Each side threw one interception, and Wyoming also lost a fumble. The Spartans never led by more than seven.
Both teams finish at 3-3. Wyoming trailed by as many as seven and did not tie it until the fourth quarter.
For fantasy purposes, Hughes led the group with 19.8 points with 92 rushing yards, Carson Clark had 17.1 for San José State on eight catches, and tight end Jake Wilson had a season-best 16.9.
