"Now that San Jose State has to win its final three games just to become bowl eligible, a matchup against the last place Nevada Wolfpack would seem to be just what the Spartans need. But they'll have to do something they haven't been able to do in 25 years. Saturday afternoon's game is in Reno, where the Spartans have only won once in the history of the program."
"The Spartans have let fourth quarter leads slip away in three of their losses. But in the 26-16 loss to Air Force it was the offense that struggled to keep the Spartans in the contest and helped send them to their third loss in the past four games. The Spartans, who lead the FBS in passing yards per game (332.6), had three turnovers and allowed a safety."
San Jose State needs three consecutive wins to reach bowl eligibility and will play at Nevada in Reno, where the Spartans have won only once and lost 10 straight since 2000. The team is 3-6 (2-3 Mountain West) and has not won on the road this season. A recent 26-16 loss to Air Force featured offensive struggles, including three turnovers, two interceptions by the quarterback, and an allowed safety. The defense ranks eighth in the Mountain West (419.56 yards per game) while the offense leads the FBS in passing (332.6 yards per game).
