San Jose State Spartans Overcome Rough Start, Nash Leads Team to Victory in Niumatalolo’s Debut

San Jose State’s new head coach, Ken Niumatalolo, faced a rocky start in his debut. Trailing 14-0 early on, the Spartans turned to their veteran receiver, Nick Nash, who delivered a stellar performance. Nash hauled in two touchdowns and threw for another, including a trick play in the second quarter, as San Jose State rallied for a 42-24 victory over Sacramento State. Nash’s exceptional play helped the team overcome an inexperienced quarterback and a new offensive system, proving crucial to the Spartans’ comeback. The Spartans’ defense also contributed significantly, forcing five turnovers and capitalizing on Sacramento State’s mistakes. With the win, Niumatalolo begins his tenure with a positive note and hopes to continue building momentum for the upcoming season.
