Hawaii 17, San Jose State 10 (OT)

What a nail-biter. I was sweatin'! Some stats:

Shane Austin was 28 of 46 for 299 yards

Jon Medeiros had 10 catches for 149 yards

Blaze Soares had 11 tackles to lead the team

Here's the game summary with links to post-game notes from HawaiiAthletics.com.
In a game short of points but full of big plays and excitement, the University of Hawai‘i Warrior football gained a hard-earned 17-10 overtime win over San Jose State Saturday night at Spartan Stadium. The Warriors (5-6, 3-5 WAC) won their third straight game and in doing so kept their bowl dreams alive.

Leon Wright-Jackson’s 5-yard run in the first overtime put UH ahead and the Warrior defense stopped the Spartans on four straight plays to secure its second road win of the season. The Warriors have now won in their five last trips to San Jose and have beaten the Spartans in eight of the last nine meetings.

It was a game of missed opportunities for the Warrior offense, but luckily for UH the defense was up to the task. A week after shutting out New Mexico State’s offense, the Warrior defense limited San Jose State (1-9, 0-6 WAC) to just 10 points by forcing four Spartan turnovers. Among the turnovers was a big fumble recovery with less than a minute remaining as the Spartans were driving in UH territory.
Here are the game summaries from the Advertiser and Star-Bulletin.
