SAN DIEGO (AP) — Quarterback Quinn Kaehler threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Colin Lockett just inside the right pylon as San Diego State beat Boise State, 34-31, in overtime, Saturday night.
It was the Aztecs fourth overtime game this season, the most in the FBS and tied for most in FBS history.
Boise State’s Dan Goodale, who missed a 43-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, booted a 35-yard field goal giving Boise State a 31-28 lead on the first set of downs in the overtime.
The Aztecs moved down the field behind the running of Adam Muema before Kaehler hooked up with Locklett for the game-winning score.
The Aztecs, who trailed 28-21, tied the game with 4:04 left in the fourth quarter on a 41-yard punt return by Tim Vizzi. It was the Aztecs first punt return for a touchdown since 2002.
