Worthman lifts Air Force over San Jose State 41-38

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Quarterback Arion Worthman threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Robinette with 32 seconds left and Air Force beat San Jose State 41-38 in Mountain West Conference play Saturday night. But questionable clock management by the Spartans made the Falcons' comeback a bit easier. San Jose State (3-8, 2-5) had apparently won the game when Jermaine Kelly recovered a fumble by Ronald Cleveland at the SJSU 1 with 1:39 left. Backed up to their own end zone, the Spartans ran just 12 seconds off the clock on three plays before punting to set up the game-winning strike for the Falcons (8-3, 4-3). Air Force coach Troy Calhoun defended the Spartans' decision to throw the ball on second and third downs before being forced to punt. "They're trying to make a first down, they're trying to win the game," he said. "I admire the aggressiveness. It was good football on their part.
