Fresno State Bulldogs avenged last year’s Valley Trophy loss to San Jose State by decisively claiming a 33-10 victory at Valley Children's Stadium. Despite an early 35-yard touchdown pass from San Jose State's Walker Eget to Nick Nash, which put the Spartans ahead in just 56 seconds, the Bulldogs responded with poise and precision. Fresno State’s defense was exemplary, allowing no further touchdowns and recording four interceptions, with Cam Lockridge claiming two before family in attendance.
The offensive triumph was orchestrated by quarterback Mikey Keene, who completed 30 of 41 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns, distributing 85 yards each to receivers Jalen Moss and Mac Dalena. Moss further mystified the Spartans with two touchdown receptions, including a crucial 43-yarder that fueled a 17-point second quarter rally.
