"San Jose State already has absorbed four one-score losses this season and had blown fourth-quarter leads in three of their previous four games. But Saturday night at CEFCU Stadium, the Spartans were able to hold on and finish the job. Just being able to deliver and finish the game. That's what we've been preaching the last two weeks, Spartans quarterback Walker Eget said. It really came to heart and came true."
"Hawaii (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West) entered the game with the fifth-ranked passing defense in the conference, but Eget threw for 458 yards and two touchdowns both of the scores went to wide receiver Danny Scudero, how had a career-high 215 receiving yards. SJSU produced 630 total yards of offense in all. The Spartans still need to win at least three of their final four regular season games to become bowl eligible."
"To me (this win) puts us back in the thick of things, head coach Ken Niumatalolo said. I feel like our league is wide open, we play a lot of the guys who are ahead of us, but we have to move on. It's not time to pat ourselves on the back and celebrate. Up next for the Spartans are the bottom two teams in the conference standings a home game against Air Force on Saturday and then a Nov. 15 game at Nevada"
