SAN JOSE, CALIF. — BYU found yet another way to win a game in the fourth quarter — and in the final minute.
This time, the Cougar defense had to thwart a potential game-winning two-point conversion by San Jose State. The Spartans scored their first offensive touchdown of the game with 45 seconds remaining, then decided to go for two — and the win.
SJSU running back Tyler Ervin’s pass was a little too high for his receiver, and the Cougars eked out a 17-16 victory before a crowd of 15,652 at Spartan Stadium in a contest that ended at 12:46 a.
