The San Jose State Spartans took control early and cruised to an easy 52-24 victory over the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners on Saturday afternoon. SJSU jumped on top 28-0 in the first quarter, and UTSA could not get anycloser than three touchdowns the rest of the way.

The two teams combined for a whopping eight fumbles, all of which were lost. The Roadrunners added a late-game interception to bring the total number of turnovers to nine.

SJSU led 31-0 before UTSA was able to get on the board in the second quarter on a 69-yard screen pass from Ryan Polite to Evans Okotcha. The excitement for the Roadrunners was short-lived, as SJSU's Tyler Ervin returned the ensuing kick 92 yards for a score.

Both teams are now 5-2 overall and 1-1 in WAC play. The win does not count towards bowl eligibility for the Spartans, as UTSA is an FBS transitional member.

San Jose State vs. UTSA score update: Spartans maintain lead, up 52-24

The San Jose State Spartans are in control early in the fourth quarter, as they lead the Texas-San Antonio Road Runners, 52-24 with 10 minutes to play. The two teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Spartans will likely coast to an easy victory in this one.

UTSA quarterback Ryan Polite notched his second touchdown pass of the day when he hit Kenny Anderson from five yards out to cap an 80-yard drive.

The Spartans got the points back as they capitalized on UTSA's fourth turnover for the day. The Spartans built the lead to as much as 52-17 on a David Fales touchdown pass, but the Road Runners answered by returning a fumble for a touchdown to put the score where it is.

The win will not count towards bowl eligibility for SJSU, as UTSA is an FBS transitional member. The Spartans would still need two more wins in their remaining five games.

San Jose State vs. UTSA score: Spartans move out to 28-0 lead in first quarter

Coming off a tough loss last weekend, the San Jose St. Spartans wanted to come out and make a statement against the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday. SJSU has done just that, taking a 28-0 lead after just one quarter of play.

Quarterback David Fales stole the show in the early going. The junior has thrown for 124 yards and three touchdowns, completing four of his six pass attempts. Four tailbacks for the Spartans all have more than 10 yards despite a limited number of carries.

The first score of the game came on a five-play, 58-yard drive from San Jose State. Fales hit Noel Grigsby down the field for a 36-yard touchdown pass. On their next drive, SJSU scored again on a 10-yard touchdown rush Blake Jurich to make the score 14-0.

Following another stop for the defense, Fales led the offense on another touchdown drive. He connected with receiver Tyler Ervin for a 36-yard touchdown. UTSA then had a bad snap on their punt attempt, which was recovered in the end zone to give SJSU a 28-0 lead.

Following a fumble by UTSA, San Jose State has the ball again at the end of the first quarter.
