Spartans’ heartbreaking loss to Wolf Pack

Reminiscent to 2019, Wolf Pack kicker Brandon Talton hit a 45-yard field goal with seven seconds left to bring Nevada (7-2, 5-0 MW) a 27-24 victory in a physical match.

It was a game that wasn’t supposed to be this close for San Jose State (5-5, 2-4 MW) who anywhere from 10 to 14 point underdogs.

Led again by a spirited Spartan defense, San Jose State kept a prolific Nevada offense on the ropes most of the game, but the Pack’s all-conference QB Carson Strong kept it together enough late in the fourth quarter to finally score their first offensive touchdown and to setup the game winning kick.
