Nash went up high to catch a back-shoulder pass from Eget in the end zone to give San Jose State (6-3) a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter and Kyle Halverson kicked a 37-yard field goal to make it a seven-point game with 6 minutes left in period.

Hankerson ran 10-yard touchdown run just before halftime and Everett kicked a 34-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half to give Oregon State (4-5) a 13-10 lead.
