Brown throws 2 TD passes as San Jose State beats Air Force 17-7
Brown hit Nick Nash for an 18-yard touchdown to cap an eight-play, 75-yard opening drive. Air Force (1-1, 0-1 Mountain West) tied the score when Cade Davis scored on a 6-yard run with 5:29 to go in the first quarter, set up by Jerome Gaillard Jr.'s interception and 41 yard return to the 28.
A pass interference penalty against the Air Force defense on third-and-9 kept SJSU's ensuing drive alive and two plays later Brown, as he was being hit by the free-running blitzing middle linebacker, hit Canaan in stride down the left side on the numbers for a TD that made it 14-7 less than 2 minutes later.
Kyler Halvorson kicked a 34-yard field goal to cap the scoring with 8:25 left.
