Chris Nelson's pass intended to Marcus Smith was nearly picked off and UNM was called for offensive pass interference. It brought up first-and-25 at the UNM 18. Nelson threw out of bounds under pressure on the next play. Nelson's next pass was complete to Rodney Ferguson, and he worked for a 10-yard gain. It brought up third-and-16 at the UNM 27. Nelson danced all over the field with a lot of protection and was dropped for no gain. His scramble earned some boos from UNM fans who are frustrated by UNM's struggling offense.

There was a flag on the punt play, with illegal participation called against San Jose State. It was a 15-yard penalty and UNM had a shot to extends its drive. Nelson carried, fumbled and recovered but was inches short of a first down.

San Jose State took over at teh UNM 43 on downs.
