Milpitas (1-4, 0-1) threatened a few times, driving deep in Spartans territory. Mountain View recovered a fumble, stopped the Trojans on downs and intercepted a pass in the end zone to prevent Milpitas from adding on.
The Trojans scored their only touchdown when they fell on a fumble in the end zone the play after fumbling it away on MV’s 4-yard line.
