This is probably the least impressive win of the Mike Bobo era. San Jose State was a god-awful 1-11 team and the Rams did everything they could to keep the Spartans in the game.

Things started out great with KJ Carta-Samuels throwing four touchdown passes in the first half; two to Preston Williams and two to Warren Jackson. Three of them were pretty sweet:

The defense was stout, forcing the Spartans to punt on every first half drive except for one turnover on downs.

28-0 at half time lead over some horseshit San Jose team, game over… right?

Wrong! San Jose State’s coach made some all-time great Halftime Adjustments^TM because the Trojans dominated the third quarter.

After cutting the lead down to 28-14, this play happened:

Pretty sure I murdered my remote control on this play.

Full disclosure: I played safety for my co-ed two-hand touch football team, and I played it at an elite level. So I’m a bit on an expert on the safety position. Take a look at our safties on this play: Jordan Fogal shades to the middle of the field pre-snap… then WHERE THE HELL IS HE GOING? Meanwhile, Jamal Hicks bites on a half-assed play-action and the ball is completed right over his head. Well done fellas!

28-21. Next CSU drive:

Trojans score, 28-28. Okay, Rams time to get our shit together!

On the ensuing kickoff, Anthony Hawkins fumbles and the Rams start on the 2 yard line. NOT THE BEST TIME FOR A BONER IN THE KICKING GAME FELLAS! Next play:

I run to the guest room, grab that remote control in there and smash it.

28-0 lead, GONE! In one quarter to some bullshit San Jose State team! 30 points in one quarter! Just look how silly this looks:

4th quarter starts and the Rams snap out of it and remember they’re playing the San Jose State Spartans. They take the lead back with an 8-play, 83-yard drive.

Spartans get the ball back and then:

YOU GOT BOMBEK’D!

Next play:

YOU GOT AJAYI’D!

The game was over when… The Rams offense had a couple chances to extend the lead further but kept going three and out. With 5 minutes left the Spartans needed a score to stay alive, but Ellison Hubbard snuffed that out, literally and figuratively:

The SJSU QB wouldn’t return to the game. YOU GOT HUBBARD’D!

Rams win, Spartans end the season 1-11. That 30 point 3rd quarter will go down as one of the largest head-scratchers in CSU history.

Behind Enemy Lines:

I was combing San Jose State’s 247Sports board looking for some saltiness, but then I stumbled across this message in their CSU postgame thread:
