San Jose State beats Wyoming 27-20 in OT

LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Playing defense in football comes down to attitude, San Jose State coach Ron Caragher says. "Our defensive guys have a great attitude," Caragher said after his Spartans beat Wyoming 27-20 in overtime Saturday thanks to a defense that gave up just 11 first downs. Offensively, Joe Gray passed for two touchdowns, including a 4-yard TD pass to Tyler Winston in overtime, and ran for another. After the Spartans scored on their overtime possession, the San Jose State defense stopped Wyoming on downs when linebacker Christian Tago dropped running back Shaun Wick at the 19-yard line for a 1-yard loss on fourth and 3. Tago led the Spartans with 13 tackles. "I'm so proud of our guys, the resiliency and determination to finish and finish strong," Caragher said of the defensive stand to end the game.
