Morrow scores twice, Winfield has long clincher as Colorado State tops San Jose State 31-24

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) — Avery Morrow ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns and Armani Winfield turned a short pass into the clinching 62-yard touchdown as Colorado State defeated San Jose State 31-24 on Saturday.

Morrow’s second 2-yard touchdown run and a career-long 58-yard field goal by Jordan Noyes had the Rams on top 24-14 midway through the fourth quarter but the Spartans came back with a 21-yard touchdown run by Floyd Chalk.

It was just four snaps later that Winfield, crossing from left to right, caught the ball over the middle at the line of scrimmage and then blazed down the right sideline for the clincher. San Jose State answered with a field goal with 66 seconds to go but the Rams recovered the onside kick.

It was 14-14 at halftime with the big play an 85-yard fumble return by San Jose’s DJ Harvey in the last minute.

Colorado State (3-3, 1-0 Mountain West Conference) took the lead when Morrow capped a 91-yard drive.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi was 22-of-30 passing for 269 yards with an interception with Winfield catching six balls for 108 yards. He also ran for a 23-yard touchdown that put the Rams on top 14-7 in the first minute of the second quarter.

Walker Eget was 22 of 30 for 256 yards for the Spartans (4-2, 2-1) and Emmett Brown was 8 of 14 for another 91 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown pass to Nick Nash that tied the game at 7. ___
