When it comes to the football program, San Jose State has nothing to play for and nothing to lose, but the team still had a game today. SJSU took on USU in Logan, Utah on Saturday afternoon. Final score? 62-24 USU.

Here are my three takeaways from San Jose State at Utah State.

Walk this way
Okay, there’s not a lot to write about when it comes to SJSU, but sophomore wide receiver Tre Walker was a bright spot on the Spartan roster.

Walker finished the day with 7 catches, 209 yards and 2 touchdowns. You gotta give him credit for making the game a bit more interesting in the third and fourth quarters with his 35-yard passing touchdown from junior quarterback Josh Love and 75-yard passing touchdown from 5th-year quarterback Michael Carrillo, respectively.

Pumped up kicks
You can believe in senior kicker Bryce Crawford to get the job done. He kicked in a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter along with extra points to cap off the touchdowns scored in the first, third and fourth quarters.

Aside from SJSU’s record, it has been a great senior season for Crawford, who ranks in the top 25 nationally in punting average and field goals per game. He’s the only FBS player to rank in the top 30 nationally in field goals made per game and punting average. He has made seven straight field goals and averages 1.4 makes per game. He has also been averaging 43.96 yards per punt.

This house is on fire
Yes, I know this was a home game for USU, but the Aggie offense was sweltering hot.

The No. 14 Aggies entered the game as one of the nation’s best teams at finding the end zone. They trailed just Alabama in scoring offense with 50.1 points per game. They also ranked 14th in total offense with 4,371 yards. In addition, USU ranked second among FBS teams with 19 scoring drives under a minute.

The Aggies were known for piling up points and yards first, and Saturday’s game versus SJSU was no exception.
