SAN JOSE, Calif. - Mike Anderson rushed for 163 yards and two touchdowns and Andre Dyson returned a kickoff for a touchdown Saturday afternoon to lead Utah to a 49-17 Western Athletic Conference victory over San Jose State.
Anderson, a junior college transfer who leads the Western Athletic Conference in rushing, went to 1,001 for the season with his school-record fifth straight 100-yard game.
San Jose State (3-6, 2-3 WAC) scored first on David Silberstein's 35-yard field goal at 6:01 of the first quarter, but Utah (5-3, 3-2) soon took control. Dyson returned the kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, and the Utes scored again on quarterback Darnell Arceneaux's 3-yard run with 1:36 remaining in the first quarter.
Mike Anderson's 1-yard run with 8:58 left in the half made it 21-3 and Jerome Anderson's diving catch of a 24-yard pass from Arceneaux 45 seconds before halftime made it 28-3 at the break.
The Spartans made it 28-10 when Chris Kasteler threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Payne on the last play of the third quarter. The score was set up when Omarr Smith blocked Ryan Kaneshiro's field-goal attempt and linebacker Samson Sherrod returned it 54 yards to the Utah 19.
