First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for an intense battle as both teams scored 7 points each. The Spartans showcased their offensive strength early on, with quarterback Walker Eget leading the charge. His precision passing laid the groundwork for what would be an impressive performance throughout the game.


Second Quarter


San Jose took control in the second quarter, outscoring their opponents 24-7. Running back Steve Chavez-Soto was instrumental during this period, scoring three rushing touchdowns and demonstrating his ability to break through defenses with ease. Meanwhile, Mathias Brown added to San Jose's tally with a successful field goal attempt from 24 yards.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw a resurgence from Hawai'i as they narrowed the gap by scoring 14 points compared to San Jose's 7. Despite this pushback, Eget continued his stellar play by connecting with wide receiver Danny Scudero for two touchdown passes that kept San Jose ahead.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter, both teams fought hard until the end. The Rainbow Warriors managed to score another 10 points; however, it wasn't enough to overcome San Jose's lead. Defensive efforts from linebacker Jordan Pollard were crucial in maintaining this advantage as he recorded one sack and forced a fumble that was recovered by Jaylen Thomas.


This victory not only provided much-needed momentum for San Jose but also highlighted key performances across their roster—particularly those of Chavez-Soto and Eget—who were pivotal in securing this win against formidable opposition.


As fans reflect on these post-game thoughts about their team's performance and analyze what contributed most significantly towards achieving such success during today's matchup between these two competitive squads—the upcoming clash against Air Force Falcons awaits them next week at CEFCU Stadium on November 8th at 6:00 PM EDT broadcasted live via Fox Sports One (Channel: Satellite -219).
