Record-setting NCAA game witnessed by sparse crowd
From wire reports
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The highest-scoring regulation game in NCAA Division I-A history was played in front of a nearly empty house.
Just 4,093 people attended San Jose State's meeting with Rice on Saturday night, and many left Spartan Stadium before Brian Nunez intercepted a pass with 2:18 left and scored the last of a record 19 touchdowns, capping the Spartans' jaw-dropping fourth quarter comeback for a 70-63 victory.
The numbers were ridiculous — and completely appropriate for a game played just down the freeway from the headquarters of video game maker EA Sports.
The teams combined for 1,089 yards. Rice ran a school-record 100 plays for 634 yards, and San Jose scored 10 touchdowns despite having the ball for less than 18 minutes.
