In a change from the first three games the Gophers will come out firing in the first quarter. San Jose will receive and make three first downs. Before a sack by TC. On second down a pass is tipped by Hageman and intercepted by Manual who returns it for the pick 6. After a couple firsts downs San Jose Punts and they have no answer for Marcus Jones and the special teams 14-0 at the quarter.
San Jose does mount a drive in the second but it stalls and the kick a field Goal.
Jones provides another thrill but is run out of bounds on the San Jose State 45. With the offense poised Leidner takes the bull by the horns and runs the ball 4 times, hands it the Williams 4 times, and hits Max Williams in the End Zone
21-3. San Jose is unable to mount anything. Tight coverage, big pressure, and to longer passes go incomplete. The Gophers drive 65 yards in the final 2 minutes and a 28 yard field goal ends the half 24-3
The second half kickoff to the Gophers is Jones at work again. Great field position, and Leidner capitalizes. He wills the Gophers on two third downs. Cobb comes in and busts a 35 yard dash to the goal line. 31-3. San Jose State is now throwing on every down. They are one dimensional, but benefit from two pass inference calls, and a reverse. They are in the Red Zone and the Stadium is going wild. They are into it. A false start. Then a toss on quick slant takes it down to the 5. A Back shoulder throw in the corner of the endzone, TD San Jose State. 31-10.
The Fourth Quarter the Gophers are running the ball and the clock. Williams is hammering the Spartans. The progress is slow but steady. And 8 minute 75 yard drive culminates on a Williams blast from the 3. Its 38-10 with a little over 5 minutes to play. San Jose treats it like a two minute drill hitting passes on the outside, hitting receivers heading out of bounds. They string together several first downs, and in a crazy play on deep post pattern the ball is under thrown and Cedric Thompson makes a play on the ball but it tips off his hands and right into the receiver who walks in. 38-17. There is a minute and half left when San Diego squibs the ball and Jack Lynn advances it to the Gopher 35. Leidner runs Williams three times and gets in Victory Formation.
